| Little Richard, Big Mama Thornton and BB King Can You Suggest Best Albums? @vonhelmholtz I am very fond of a BB King disk called Take It Home. Partly because he is backed up by the Jazz Crusaders. Also, and this may sound strange, BB's Chrismas LP called A Christmas Celebration of Hope, has some of his best vocal work... | |
| What is the current retail cost of your reference system? It's amusing to me how most every thread eventually comes down to opposing views. Be it cables, tube vs ss, streaming or owning physical, whatever, and here it's spending lots makes sence or is a waste if not immoral. Have I spent lots? Yup. ... | |
| What is the current retail cost of your reference system? @ronboco That's some sweet looking equipment on the Dagostino web page. Makes my poor old Hegel H30s look downright plain. 🤣 | |
| What is the current retail cost of your reference system? @jlchen I don't feel so bad now. Would be interested to know what equipment you are listening too. Any chance you will list a virtual system with some pictures? The amp $$$ is huge. More than one amp(s) in your system? | |
| What is the current retail cost of your reference system? @randymaqp Now that's just funny. Best post I've read today. Thanks for the chuckle. | |
| What is the current retail cost of your reference system? It's a number I don't say out loud 🤣. Being a little bit anal about my system cost, I run an Excel spreadsheet that follows all my additions and subtractions where equipment is concerned. I like to follow the "true" cost of my system. So, I buy... | |
| Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power @jerryg123 Sorry about that. Thought it was a liitle dig at me. We've chatted in the past and you know I don't have a problem with you or your views. No matter how wrong they may be at times. 🤣 | |
| Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power @vonhelmholtz Thanks for that suggestion. As you can see from my rig, I'm not in the "anti cable" camp. I just really struggle to understand the value of the high end Power Cable as it defies my common sense. I'm sure I'm not understanding som... | |
| Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power @vonhelmholtz Your answer, or non answer to be more correct is exactly why I have asked the question in the first place. I believe I articulated the question in readable english. But what I get back are accusations I'm trying to screw up this th... | |
| What I wish I knew before starting my audiophile journey @grislybutter My wife might say you're still not wrong in your original statement. 🤣 | |
| What I wish I knew before starting my audiophile journey @dman1974 I'm also a big fan of buying used. If I can enjoy a high end piece of equipment for a year and move it on to a new home for close to what I paid, I'm very happy. The key has always buying at the right price. If you ever get a chance ... | |
| What I wish I knew before starting my audiophile journey @grislybutter I'm guessing you looked at by profile. Note the pics denote a progression. I had Ver 1.0 for 20 years. Each new version had equipment replaced. Still completing the final rig. (Ver 4.0) Have to admit the Bose IPod docking sati... | |
| What I wish I knew before starting my audiophile journey @dman1974 I struggle with the amount of equipment you have gone through in a very short period of time. By my math you have swapped speakers every 3 - months, and amps almost as often. Thats hardly past the break-in period for a lot of equipmen... | |
| McIntosh MT5 vs Rega 8 or 10 I own the P8 with Apheta 3 cartridge and am very pleased with it. My two previous TTs were Music Hall and Thorens. The P8 is paired with the Parasound JC3+ preamp. Like most responses you will get, I like what I have. Can't see any reason you ... | |
| Worth upgrading my cables? @rocray With all the fake cables out there (just just over to the Fake Chinese Cable thread with it's 13 pages of comments) I would be very leary of buying on the used market thse days. Just saying..... |
