| Best 80s New Wave @shadorne Great list!! The bass line in China Crisis' Fire and Steel is so good! How could I forget Yaz?! Upstairs at Erics is one of my fav albums. I have more 12" singles than albums but I'm getting a lot of reissues on vinyl. | |
| Best 80s New Wave One of my fave Cars song is 'Touch and go'. Visage 'Fade to grey' is one of the finest early new romantic songs from 1980. Midge Ure wrote it then went on to Ultravox. Vienna is one of their best songs. Architecture & Morality by OMD is a clas... | |
| Dynaudio Special 40 in the house @techno_dude I have Special 40s as well--I love them!! I have a Marantz PM8006 integrated amp (using as a preamp) and a Bel Canto REF500S amp. I'm going to upgrade my preamp soon and was wondering about the C47 and Bel Canto combo. I'm really impr... | |
| Best 80s New Wave @pdreher Good List!! I love OMD's Sugar Tax from '91 even though Paul Humphries wasn't on that release. | |
| Best 80s New Wave @folkfreak Yep, I have the NO 12" singles and a few Madonna 12" singles from the 80s. I was also into OMD, Blancmange and Trevor Horn's ZTT project back then: -FGTH-Propaganda-Grace Jones-Art of NoiseGood stuff!!! | |
| Best 80s New Wave @folkfreak So true about the 12" singles (Blue Monday?) and Duel single. Do you have Propaganda's remix album Wishful Thinking? Soooo good! | |
| Best 80s New Wave Totally agree with DM early albums---I love Music for the Masses. I saw that concert with OMD back in'88. DD's Rio is excellent as well. | |
| 3 great tube preamps. Which would you purchase? @goldprintaudio Thanks for the suggestions regarding the Bel Canto amp---would the PS Audio Stellar GS DAC be a good fit as well? I've also heard good reviews about the Bel Canto and Rogue combo. Question: What interconnects work well with this co... | |
| Audio racks Thanks guys---I've never heard of Core or Massif. Nice stuff for sure!! I'm definitely going to check them out as well. | |
| Audio racks Thanks Jay---good to know. Does Paul's son have a website? I've read some good reviews about Butcher Block. I haven't purchased anything yet---I might end up with additional units next year. Box Furniture is an option too but they're a little pric... | |
| 3 great tube preamps. Which would you purchase? Hi Jay---we have similar systems. I've been updating mine over the past 6 months after many years of having the same audio equipment. I have a Marantz ND8006 integrated amp (using as a preamp for a Bel Canto REF500S amp---which sounds really good.... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Don't judge---the new Madonna song. Didn't like it on first listen---by the 5th time, it's really good. | |
| Some Thoughts on Axpona 2019--from an Axpona Newbie Sounds like fun---I hope to go for the first time next year. Did anyone meet Kevin Deal from Upscale Audio? | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Jeff Lynne's ELO----incredible! They're touring again this summer. Catch them if you can. | |
| Audio racks Thanks for the recommendations---I've seen many good reviews regarding Timber Nation. They can custom make what you need as well. Mapleshade looks nice too--thanks!! |
