| What was your most disappointing album purchase? @slaw, Joan Osborne hasn’t come close to the quality of her debut album with her subsequent releases. I want to say that she needs to stop doing cover songs and put out some original music. But maybe that would require her putting the reefer dow... | |
| What was your most disappointing album purchase? Oh, just thought of another one . . Shania’s album “Up”. It came in two versions, pop and country, but there was one one good track on the entire album . . Gonna Getcha Good”. I don’t think Mutt Lange’s heart was in that one. It wasn’t even as ... | |
| What was your most disappointing album purchase? @jsd52756, haha haha . . . now that’s a bad album!I love Steely Dan, and I have read that some members here even like this one, but their album Gaucho is a snorefest. Sounds like very depressing funeral music to me.A friend had Billy Ray Cyrus’ a... | |
| Best debut album @2channel8: I was starting to think I was the only one that liked Joan Osbourne. Her debut album was by far her best — I like every single song. That hasn’t happened for me very often with any album. That gives me an idea for a new thread! | |
| WHat did Audiophiles hear during Tape deck era? Yes, 50 years ago, vinyl was king; some say it still is. But for me, playing records on my low-cost Garrard TT (Shure M91 ED or an Empire cart. I liked even more) through a Pioneer SX626 receiver, was not that great. Yes, I used the Discwasher, ... | |
| Why no Virtual System pics?? I have one lousy, fuzzy, poorly lit photo of my system, and I only posted that because I wanted suggestions on how to select subwoofer(s) and where to place it/them. My Android phone camera takes rotten photos. I do intend to post more and bette... | |
| Youngsters these days. I’ve been fortunate. My sons, both in their 30’s, still call me for advice when they have big decisions to make. I try to respect them as adults and they return the favor.As is so true of us “Boomers”, I was a slow adopter of technology. I was ... | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present I’m not picky when it comes to aesthetics, but there are some speakers that I wouldn’t want (and couldn't afford anyway) due to their appearance. First, I wouldn’t want speakers so large that they dominate a room. And, while I don’t mean to put ... | |
| WAF -- I started on this high-end quest after my girlfriend left in December. And it’s been a long time since I was married. As I recall, the trick was to agree that she could spend for something she wanted and I could spend on something I wanted. But... | |
| Best debut album Some really good debut albums noted.I like Joan Osborne, "Relish" | |
| What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work? Jerry, I think we enjoy finding kindred spirits here. I don’t have the means to approach “perfect”, if there is such a thing, but I look forward to enjoying some of the flavors of imperfect. As others have stated, it’s about the music and enjoyi... | |
| What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work? @glupson, I know your question wasn't addressed to me per se, but I think people would be interested in DIY equipment for a few reasons: a) you hope to end up with better equipment than you could afford to purchase from the manufacturer. b) You ... | |
| What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work? I wish I could hear them — I don’t really need more speakers, but if these things are as good as you say, plus very affordable, that’s an opportunity that needs to be seized! | |
| What Do You Think of This Device: Parasound Zphono-USB Yeah . . too bad we aren’t cousins! 😝 | |
| What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work? Those Pluto’s would be handy, being able to move them about as you want (unlike the Martin Logan’s I have that weigh 60-some lbs. each and have spikes that I have to pull up from the carpet. Who was it that posted that their speakers each weigh 1... |
