| Advice on switching to separates The 2010s' 75W rating is probably a really nice match w/your Harbeths (BTW, the Exposure is a beautiful piece), and I'd say you would have to make a significant power/current jump to tell a real difference. I use old NAD pre/amp w/my Spendors, and... | |
| Thoughts on current EL-34 tubes I settled on Winged Cs after two sets of JJ E34Ls began arcing on me. They have proved reliable and balanced. | |
| Favorite iTunes Radio Stations THREAD I third KCRW...superb source for GOOD music. | |
| A good start on selecting cables? I agree w/Mceljo. If your system sounds good as is, leave well enough alone and save your coin. But if you need something new, I say look at one brand's lower-end models to keep cost down. Mixing and matching is just opening the door to a whole lo... | |
| Bublé's Louisville Concert 6/4/11 The ladies love him, but he is not a very good vocalist. He is pretty much the Bing Crosby of today musically speaking. | |
| RIP Gil Scott-Heron After reading a profile of him in a New Yorker, I was moved and intrigued. I got his latest CD and have to say it is unlike any other--part music, part commentary. His was a sad case really. | |
| Pink Floyd in HI REZ......finally Whoohooo! I know what I'm getting for Xmas. | |
| Speaker listening position higher than tweeter Michael,Here's the link to the stands I think work well, and they are not bad for $100 shipped. I have them and have been very pleased: http://www.racksandstands.com/VTI-RF-VI1049.html?cv= | |
| Speaker listening position higher than tweeter I believe the original stands built for the BC1s and SP1/2s were to allow for the first floor wave off the driver, but most I have seen use taller stands to get the image up. I use 19" VCI stands with my new (used) SP1/2s, and my ears are precisel... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Buy a pair of Spendor 1/2s...seriously. | |
| Band with highest success/talent ratio? Whoa, Snofun3. Stevie Nicks has an incredible voice that is wholly unique, pitch perfect, and can move an audience. And Rush? Their live shows are unbelievable, really. I encourage you to read Neil Peart's books as well...his lyrics are not inane.... | |
| British sound??? Just listening to my newly acquired Spendor 1/2s, and the British sound can be summed up with one word: Good. | |
| Need help with Jazz Natalie Cole's "Unforgettable" is a GREAT album...every song is a winner w/good sonics. Also, I'm a big fan of Rosemary Clooney's songs recorded in her prime (that is in her older years). Concord has some good stuff of hers, and the Concord engine... | |
| Tube Basics 101: What is a rectifier tube for? Zmanastronomy,"Affended"? Have a dick-tionary the next time you apologize. | |
| Power regenerator/battery backup I second the APC S-Series. I've had the S10 for a couple of months and could not be more pleased. They are also affordable for those of us who don't make very much. I will never plug my Quicksilvers into the wall again. |
