| Best Classical Labels for Sound Crystal Clear and Umbrella. Both did D2D and did it well. Telarc is already mentioned and is outstanding. I don't think vinyl ever got any better but any D2D that I've heard is quite amazing. London and Decca both can be good. EMI is another. I t... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? I absolutely find things on youtube and have made decisions to buy vinyl or cd's after hearing or seeing a video. Have found a lot that way and some I'm content just to leave on youtube and have a casual listen. The Spoon Lady is kind of fun. Tons... | |
| If anyone is still looking for a SLP-98 Funny. I looked for a good while and each time I found one, it would be gone by the time I tried to buy it. Maybe you remember that I settled on the Aesthetix Calypso Signature. Got it home, used it for a couple listening sessions. It did a nice j... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? I used to listen to Zappa Apostrophe a lot back in the 80s' Fun album but I don't think of it as reference material. It does have some interesting sounds and songs, humor mixed with musical talent. Zappa was one of the first live concerts I ever w... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? Interesting responses. I find it hard to imagine that streaming can compare to high quality vinyl but not hearing it for myself, I certainly cannot say. For me and my system, vinyl has been the preference at least 90% of the time. My system is gea... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? I don't stream anything..........yet. Never say never but I am very content listening to vinyl and cd's, mostly vinyl. For serious listening, it is vinyl 90% of the time. So...........I'm really looking for what pieces of vinyl stand out as stella... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? I had a whole collection of Mannheim Steamroller Christmas LP's that I never listened to until this past holiday season. They are easily my favorites now. Not a huge Christmas music fan but some is certainly enjoyable. I always listened to TSO ove... | |
| CV2493 Tubes, can't find any info Thanks guys. Nice to hear an upvote and great info. | |
| CV2493 Tubes, can't find any info You guys are amazing. Thanks Interesting video, what a process. Incredible amount of work into each valve or tube. Hard to imagine it being profitable but I know it was. Lots of automation but still a tremendous amount of tedious work too. I espe... | |
| CV2493 Tubes, can't find any info noromance Thanks a lot. Great info. | |
| CV2493 Tubes, can't find any info Thanks yogi I thought you'd show up with an answer. Do you know if these are a later designation? Not in my book for some reason. My book is probably from the 50's. maybe 60's. The tubes don't look new but I don't know either. The codes might ind... | |
| Bose 901 Review Well Done. hsbrock Yes, I still have the article in one of my stereo file folders. I was 16 at the time, myself. I did not hear them for another couple years but the article interested me. As stated above, I also have my original receipt from 1976, when I ... | |
| Bose 901 Review Well Done. Russ69 I think the series 3 was the worst. Never hear a good word about them. Series 4 sounded good but foam surrounds went bad fast. Bose did a buyback program and put you into a pair of series 6 for I think $400. I bought a pair of junk 4's jus... | |
| Bose 901 Review Well Done. Hey old ears Yes, I was fortunate to spend a year in Germany. I enjoyed my time there even though I was homesick and missed my fiance. She did come over after a few months and we got married in Darmstadt. We are about to celebrate our 50th annive... | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? How about anything that Mannheim Steamroller ever recorded? Some of the best vinyl in my collection of 2k albums or so. Does anyone listen to them anymore? I never see them mentioned. American Gramaphone did vinyl as well as anyone. Telarc, 1812 ... |
