| Huntsville Alabama Stephan--No errands here....but a long-planned conference out of town. Let me know when you can get another meeting set up. I'm retired but often gone on hiking, etc. trips. Bill in Killen | |
| Huntsville Alabama Too bad I have to miss your meeting. I'll be out of town Sat. More on my audio gear: I built two Dynaco products from a kit back in the winter of 1972, an integrated amp and an FM tuner, the FM5. (Got a boxful of parts and instructions) Have both ... | |
| Huntsville Alabama Great to hear from you fellas. I'm at a hiking conference on the 10th....but go ahead and meet, and I can join you maybe a month later. I have some wonderful used Vandersteen 2 speakers (probably circa 1978), a Creek integrated and a slew of NAD/C... | |
| Huntsville Alabama I'm in Florence and would be interested in meeting. I'm a low-end or budget audiophile. Weekends work best for me as well.Bill | |
| CD player distortion on all CDs Cross your fingers--After the problem with the distortion, I took it out of my system for a week or so, then just on a whim, reinserted it into my audio system. This time, the distortion was gone! After a couple hours of listening, it began to ski... | |
| CD player distortion on all CDs I wasn't very gentle with the thumping....and I did it several times out of frustration. I hate to dump it and move on. When I bought it, it was considered one of the best under $1,000 CD players. I posted here in 2003 about the stuck drawer probl... | |
| Huntsville Alabama I don't get to Huntsville often but here in Florence-Muscle Shoals there is no longer any high end retailer. I've had to get my gear on the Internet or buy used here thru Audiogon. I, too, would like to know if there is a hi-end dealer in Huntsvil... | |
| Monitors for $1500-$2000 with NAD320BEE Integrated Bob--You are right. The room is about 26 ft long and 14 ft wide, with cathedral ceiling that rises to 23 ft at peak, with an open loft (study) above on one end. Lots of synthetic stone on walls and hardwood floors. Only two upholstered items are a... | |
| Monitors for $1500-$2000 with NAD320BEE Integrated Thanks for all your suggestions. The room I have the NAD/Triangle system has terrible acoustics--speakers with good bass sound so boomy I can't use them in that room--so I use stand-mounted monitors and they sound "OK". For example, I got some use... | |
| Huntsville Alabama The Florence dealer is not longer in business. Yes, he called his business South Beach. Not a good choice. He was also located in a high rent district and would have had an extremely high overhead. I'm in Florence, and a budget audiophile at best.... | |
| Sound quality of XM radio Direct TV vs standalone Thanks Marco and Rich--You've helped a lot. The more I research XM's sound quality (even afer posting a day or so ago), I hear a lot of folks say it's just OK. My interest in XM is for home use, as a substitute for buying so many CDs. So it looks ... | |
| A subwoofer for my NHT SuperZeros I want to thank all of you. Certainly some good advice and leads. The SuperZeros are the first truly high quality piece of audio I've owned. Back in the 70s I had a pair of the New Advents (that's how they were identified) and loved them, even wit... | |
| Diana Krall's New CD "Live in Paris"???? Gosh--And she's my favorite singer of the '90s and '00s!! I am bowled over by her performances and will buy everything she records. I do have the DVD video performance of her Paris concert and on my mid-priced Toshiba DVD player it doesn't sound a... | |
| Best female vocals on CD Diane Schuur has been one of my favorites. A couple of her CDs are super. I just a couple weeks ago discovered Stacy Kent and plan to buy all of her CDs this weekend. |
