| R.I.P. Lou Reed My wife and I blasted Walk on The Wild Side with the lights off the night he died, just like we always have. What a great self eulogy. | |
| Guitar's...what do the audionuts play? A Santa Cruz, several Martins, a Gibson, a Breedlove, a Taylor, and a couple others. I have a nice hifi but all of my guitars produce acoustic guitar better than my hifi reproduces acoustic guitar. | |
| Rega DAC: Cable suggestions Have you tried all the different filter settings on your DAC to see how they affect the bass? I have the same DAC and found the fourth or fifth setting to sound leaner than the first. I prefer the first setting in my setup most of the time but som... | |
| Songs With Best Ending Last Chance Texaco-Rickie Lee Jones. Especially when I saw her at the outdoor Mt. Winery amphitheater in Saratoga, Ca recently. She played past the noise curfew and the sound system was turned off with another minute to go in the song. She finishe... | |
| Hum coming through speakers via Bat 300X Your amp has a Volume Offset feature that lets you adjust the levels of each input individually so they have the same subjective playback volume at a given volume setting. Check your manual, it's a great feature and a great amp. I love mine. | |
| Weird duet, but it works...well They were on Letterman the other night and did one of their songs together and it was great. They said Steve had written a bunch of songs that needed lyrics and Edie wrote them and then they recorded the album. Now they're touring together. I love... | |
| Amp for PSB Stratus Gold I had Goldis for years and ran them with a Rotel RB-1090 as suggested by Zd542 and for me they were a great match. I switched to much more expensive Parasound JC1 monoblocks and ended up buying another RB-1090 after a while because (for me again)t... | |
| Cured of upgraditis? I cured my hifi upgraditis by buying a couple of nice used acoustic guitars. Talk about high fidelity! Now instead of worrying about soundstaging and timbre I ask myself "does the resonance of my Spruce/Rosewood guitar overwhelm note clarity and s... | |
| On High Current Amps and Regenerators Have you had your electricity supplier check your electrical service? I work for a solar electric contractor and once or twice a year a customer calls complaining that the solar is causing problems like you describe like your battery backups trigg... | |
| Looking for a very good integrated solid state amp I am very satisfied with a BAT VK300xSE with the tubed front end. As mentioned by others synergy is most important. I have Acoustic Zen Adagios and first had a Wyred 4 Sound STI500 integrated and then an NAD M3. Both had terrific qualities and may... | |
| Anyone else receive low offers right away ? Have you ever sold a car on Craigslist? First hour or two every time I list a car or motorcycle I get several silly offers that never pan out. Same thing. From experience I expect that. Just like Audiogon I ignore the first couple and then find a ... | |
| Best and Worst names in Audio My DAC and integrated are BAT Schiit. | |
| What is the best....? Mine is. | |
| Best integrated amp ? Great match for AZ Adagio? I am using a BAT VK300xSE (tubed pre section with SS power) with my Adagios and for me they have great synergy. I previously owned a W4S STI500 SS amp and an NAD M3 SS amp with them and those didn't make me happy. The W4S had unbelievable clarity ... | |
| Acoustics and chair I too have a Stressless chair. I purposely chose one of their styles with a back low enough so that my head is above it to avoid reflection right behind my ears. It helps that I'm over six feet tall. Really nice chair but as mentioned not cheap an... |
