| Turntable Upgrades Byfo- I cant believe I read this silly-ass thread the first time. Maybe you have the right idea, except the part where you read it again. | |
| Selling McCormack Upgraded Gear I think the words 'mods' and 'upgraded' may be a red flag for some. Unless you know a little about the product and 'upgrades' it may be perceived that the original product was flawed if it needed modification. Factory upgrades and mods performed b... | |
| Fluance speakers The website is nice and the speakers look great for such low prices. If they turn out to be crap, at least they are not over priced crap. | |
| There Ought To Be A Law, Or At Least A Rule Sorry, I also disagree with the premise. If a manufacturer gives lousy service potential customers should know. Usually someone knows the scoop, so if theres another explaination we get it. When the answer is something like they are on vacation, c... | |
| Best Neil Young Album? The solo versions of "Cowgirl in the Sand" and "Dont Let it Bring You Down" on 4 Way Street, the live CSN&Y album are still special and should be included in any Neil Young collection. Hows that for skirting the question? | |
| cdp digital volume control or preamp? If you search 'passive' here at a-gon (classified not chat) you will find a couple of passive preamps so cheap they might be fun to play with, the Channel Islands and the Luminous Axiom. Just a thought. By the way Lousyreeds, tfkaudio mentioned th... | |
| Burned out Audiophile - Trying to Find some Zen -Sell all of your equipment and hitch-hike across the country looking for new adventures...or simply 'walk the earth' like Cain in 'Kung Fu'. -Or, buy the new self titled release by the Duhks and 'Mercy Now' by Mary Gauthier, turn off the lights a... | |
| cdp digital volume control or preamp? This seems like deja vu....this seems like deja vu...Lots of opinions on both sides of this coin, search old threads. The only way to know for sure for your tastes and in your system is to try it both ways. Some seem to believe that a preamp may i... | |
| Bang and Olufsen B&O is known for its style over sonics but some of their newer stuff is getting respect. Older used is not a sonic value, dont know about the new stuff. | |
| What do you listen to when no one else can hear it So this is the second half of the thread 'Guilty Pleasures'...Well, my wife likes to listen to half of whats listed on that thread, and I didnt realize some of it was embarrassing, so...My family adapts to most of what I play from reggae to bluegr... | |
| Jazz Guitar OK,OK, no one has mentioned Lee Ritehour..."Captain Fingers" is a classic I should have not forgotten...Wow you got some great responses. Think I will be sampling some of these suggestions... | |
| Jazz Guitar I find a lot of jazz guitar boring. I guess Im not sophosticated enough to appreciate all the subtleties. One old favorite that does comes to mind is "Friends" by Crusaders' guitarist Larry Carlton. Some funky, some blues, all big fun. I have not ... | |
| PrimaLuna ProLogue One versus Two I think I will email Upscale and ask about the possiblity of preamp out option. Right now I use small monitors full range with a pair of subs. I may have to change speakers before I would try the Primaluna. My plan includes selling one of my two p... | |
| Boy, am I bummed. Dont take it too hard, the best way for a product to fail is right out of the box. I took great pleasure bashing a (cheap)Toshiba DVD player with a sledge hammer before dumping it in the can. It was not really worth throwing more money at. It had ... | |
| Thorens TD 125 vs. new cheap TT? You will be hard pressed to find a better TT with arm for $300. Rega type (there are a lot of clones these days) are about your only alternative. I would steer clear of direct drive at this price point, even used. As for affordable phono I recomme... |
