| Songs with excellent advice? Take this job and shove it - Johnny Paycheck | |
| What is the most challenging music to play on a stereo? I would imagine something like death metal or the rap music that you hear coming out of cars that have the 60" subwoofers. | |
| Big orchestral sound in pop, rock etc. Some of my fav pop/new wave albums with big orchestra sounds include: 1. ABC - Lexicon of love (Trevor Horn production) 2. Frankie goes to Hollywood - Welcome to the Pleasuredome. Another Trevor Horn production. In particular, 'Two tribes' which... | |
| What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen? I bought my vintage equipment back in the mid-late 80s and the guys at the store were like my best friends. Never stuffy and we would have listening sessions after they closed. They would let me take home new equipment to demo it for a few days an... | |
| Finally added Accuphase to my collection Congrats!! I have the Luxman 505uxii and it's super smooth as well. From your description, they sound very similar. Have you heard Luxman before? If you did, how would you compare them? | |
| un-becoming an audiophile I totally understand Jack's post. I get it--I believe there are audiophiles who CAN listen to music over any system and not be super analytical about every little nuance. I, myself, am one of those. I have a modest system at home but enjoy listeni... | |
| Decware and “The List” @moonwatcher You're comment made me LOL. Been there with Tekton--I have a pair of Lore Reference speakers without grills. I ordered them but never received them. After many back and forth emails and calls, I got them--they didn't fit. We went thro... | |
| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! Darko always seems to have a nice listening space IMO. It's never cluttered. His new apartment in Portugal is getting a nice room treatment. | |
| Why does it take so long to get stuff? @kiwiscott LOL! So true---but maybe the orange faceplate gives a warmer sound. | |
| Why does it take so long to get stuff? I was going to try and order a personalized Sugden A21 integrated amp with a colored faceplate but the seller said that would take 'months' so I bought their demo model with the standard silver faceplate and got it in a few days with a discount. I... | |
| New Class D amplifiers Bel Canto amps are really nice. | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time Couldn't agree more regarding the new 'Bro-country' genre or whatever they call it now. There's no story telling like classic country (60s - 80s). Like many on here, I also grew up with classic country as well as pop and rock. 70s and 80s soul/R &... | |
| How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers? When a guest walks over to your speakers, politely say 'Please don't touch.' A gentle reminder never hurts. Glad your speakers were unharmed. | |
| "High end" store snobbery I know how you feel. There's one 'high end' store in my city and a scattering of a few more 50-100 miles away. The one in my city has always been a cold place to visit---dark rooms, dusty most of the time and snobby (why, I don't know). I have vis... | |
| Boxes I've kept all of my boxes for my current system---I have a few boxes from my vintage system (>30 years old). I wish I had ALL the boxes from my vintage system so I'd say keep them if you can. You can always break them down to save space. |
