| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding Totally agree with some of the posters here---the current ’Bro country’ is absolutely horrendous. It’s the same theme over and over: living in the country, dogs (or my girl) in my pickup, drinking......ugh! Same with certain types of jazz. We went... | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding I've never been able to understand the appeal of the Dave Matthews Band or Hootie and the Blowfish. So boring! I could go on and on but those are my top two. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? OMD last month in Washington DC---fantastic show! | |
| Amp & Pre or Integrated for Dynaudio Heritage Special I have a Luxman 505uxii with Dyn Special 40s (and a REL sub)---great synergy and wonderful sound. Not sure if there's a HUGE difference b/w the S40s and Heritage Specials. Good luck. | |
| RIP Andy Fletcher from Depeche Mode @roxy54 Great album! I purchased the limited edition X1 and X2 box set back in the early 90s. They're still pretty rare--I'll get them out later tonight for the deep dive into DM. RIP Andy | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno I have a pair of Dynaudio Special 40s and listen to a wide range of music as well--house, electronic, rock, disco and everything in between. I also have a REL sub and the music sounds amazing. I have a Luxman integrated 505uxii. I'm not sure how d... | |
| Butcher Block Acoustics Good to know! I'm contemplating upgrading my rather generic rack. Customer service is a huge plus for me. | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? I started with an integrated years ago then decided to try separates to make a change and experiment a little. Well, that lasted about 2 years then back to an integrated (Luxman). I think that's going to be it for me. My set up is very simple---no... | |
| SS preamp suggestion with built-in phono section -Luxman 505uxii (my fav) -Yamaha S1200, S2200 -Parasound HINT integrated -Rotel Integrated | |
| What's Your Favorite Vinyl That Never Made It To CD or Digital? Pet Shop Boys - Very Relentless. It was released as a special edition double CD back in 1993. Very is available in all formats but Relentless has never been released digitally since then. | |
| I heard a costly system from Esoteric. It's always troubling to me to hear about the 'faults' like the ones you described coming from uber expensive gear. When paying that kind of money, you expect near perfection. I considered the F-07 at one point but decided on the Luxman 505uxii in... | |
| What is your favorite cover? Pet Shop Boys - Always on my mind | |
| Recommended integrated amplifier for upgrade I have a Luxman 505uxii paired with Dynaudio Special 40s and a REL sub. Absolutely love it---friends that stop by can't get over how rich, warm and detailed they are. You can't go wrong with a Luxman. Just my 2 cents. Good luck. | |
| Transparent plus speaker cables I recommend Transparent speaker cables as well--I have them connected to my Dynaudio Special 40s. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer I don't get the Mac hate either. I don't have Mac but I don't bash it or bash other audio companies. So what if someone likes Mac? Some folks like Hegel, others don't. If you're happy with your Mac, that's all that matters. He's only expressing hi... |
