| Best Travelin Music Jimi Hendrix' version of "All Along the Watchtower", Allman Brothers' live version of "Whipping Post" from Filmore East, Jefferson Airplane's "Wooden Ships", Talking Heads "Life During Wartime" and Lou Reed "Walk on the Wild Side" Ok, these are so... | |
| Marsh amps I could give you the name of a dealer who would give you a good price and probably allow you to demo one. I heard one at his place, and it was quite impressive. It was matched with a Wadia 830 and Meadowlark Shearwaters. You can email for details ... | |
| The best CD Player for the money I found the Sony SCD777ES at J&R Music World in NYC for under $1600. You have to negotiate, and probably could get them to match other prices. If you buy mail order, they have a return policy, although I would be sure to get this in writing. M... | |
| Full range sound from sub 1k speakers I agree with Kitch29. If you can find a pair of used Hot Rod Kestrels for $1000 or under, you will be very happy. I had a pair matched with a Bryston B60, and an Adcom CD750, in my first real audio system. Wow! What a dynamic, exciting, fast,clean... | |
| Freak Me Out Check out Laurie Anderson's Big Science. There are many great and different pieces on there. One of my favorites is Oh Superman, a great song. I think it was Rolling Stones song of the year back in the late 70s. Her work is mainly as a performance... | |
| Beware of new Krell Waranty Policy I was told by Krell that this new policy went into effect for pieces built after Jan. 2000. Pieces built before that, with remaining time on the warranty, will be fixed under warranty. This means that there are many used Krell peices out there wit... | |
| Amps for Dynaudio ? I have a Sim W5. It is a great amp. I know that Sim Audio and Dynaudio have formed a partnership. I think the combination is worth checking out. I find that the W5 has the best qualities of the Krell amps, and in direct comparison to the KAV250, w... | |
| Plinius vs Sim Moon vs Ayre The Sim W5 is a great amp. You could find one for about $2600 used, although there aren't many to be had. The W3 is 125 watts and may suit your needs. Email if you want to know of a dealer who will give you a good deal. | |
| Floor Standing "Warm" Speaker Meadowlark Heron i. Full range, 91db, great bass,warm sounding with sweet highs. | |
| How did U get into this expensive hobby? 1964, She Loves You, came out. I was ten years old and sat there with my record player and 45. I played that record over and over. Life hasn't been the same | |
| Best Solid State Amp For 10k Or Less I bought a Sim W5 this week. I am amazed at the speed, dynamics, neutrality and sense of ease this amp has. Also, it is amoung the best looking amps I have ever seen. I know there have been many great amps mentioned in this thread, but at under $5... | |
| Amp to match with Meadowlark Shearwater I heard the Shearwaters with Classe seperates and they sounded great. I haven't heard them with the Classe integrated, but I think it would be worth a listen. It was a great match, sweet, dynamic, detailed and musical. You might also want to try t... | |
| Aerial Acoustics 10t vs 7b vs 6 I owned the 6s for over a year. I liked them a lot. The one negative thing I found, was that they need a high current amp to get them to come alive. I tried a number of amps, Krell 300i, Classe CA151 and Bryston 4BST. The amp that got the most out... | |
| Favorite "Top Ten" Comedies? Young Frankenstein, Monty Python and the Holy Grail,Annie Hall, Animal Crackers and No.1 City Lights!!! | |
| Ayre V3 owners. What preamp do you use? I read somewhere that if your amp has all the upgrades, Ayre recommends eliminating the ground. You should probably call them and see if this is true. I don't remember where I read it. |
