| Music you HATE the most but once you LOVED it Don't get me wrong, YES is an awesome band, and they are members of the great Pantheon. I think what I should have said is that they tend to be hit or miss for me, with their strong songs being damn good and their weaker ones being...well, weak. | |
| Music you HATE the most but once you LOVED it Bowie is stone classic and IMO never gets old. YES, OTOH, is on my list of music that I loved when I was younger but sounds a bit soulless to me now. | |
| how to clean brushed aluminum faceplate? WD40 works well. | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. Music is a peaceful endeavor, so let's leave the flames at home, OK? As Prince said, "I have two sides, and they both friends." | |
| B&W CDM-1 original ............... opinions wanted I did an in-home demo of these back in the day and didn't think they were special. The mids sounded thin and a bit "pinched"...not as fleshed out, smooth, or as dynamic as my Fried Q5s. They didn't sound bad, just not my cup of tea. | |
| Which hdtv would you recommend and why? Don't fall for the LED based on a hyped up store display! Plasma is still a very, very good technology, and they are affordable. LEDs are initially impressive, and my god, they are overpriced. | |
| Which hdtv would you recommend and why? Samsung plasma 450 series (42") is what I picked up a year ago, and it's been killer. The advantage of the Samsungs over the Panasonics is that they have more picture control, which is useful if you are obsessed w/customizing your viewing experien... | |
| "Crack" sound in left speaker tube amp It may be that you have an arcing tube. Arcing gives off a loud "pop/crack" heard thru the speaker, usually after the first few seconds or minutes of being powered up. Turn the lights off, power up, and watch the power tubes. You will be able to c... | |
| Any Tom Waits Fans? Heck, yeah. Best show I EVER saw was Waits at the Fox in Atlanta on his Glitter and Doom tour...the coolest crowd, too. He started an hour late, but when he started, it was like nothing I'd ever heard. His band was killer too. Utterly effortless a... | |
| Noobie looking for advice First, you'll need a decent receiver or preamp w/a phono stage. You might check out some of the older NADs that have good phono stages, as they can be had for not a lot. If you're satisfied w/the sound of this, I'd say stop and invest your money i... | |
| Name your lame duck artist........ Yes they can. | |
| Name your lame duck artist........ Yeah, I was listening to my local jazz show the other night, and thought, "Jeez, what is this?" It was Patricia Barber, and just horrendously awful (not that she has "made it," but still really bad.) | |
| Can I use two preamps? Thanks for the advice all, and I think I will try a 3dB attenuator first like you said Stanwal to see if that works. This is obviously cheaper than getting two, and it might just work. Rwwear, unfortunately, my M60s are not balanced, so the XLRs a... | |
| Can I use two preamps? Excellent and logical suggestions for solving the balance problem, but I specifically want the QS pre, as I have QS amps and really like the sound. I was looking for a more technical answer in regards to simply using one channel, etc. | |
| How can you not have multichannel system I see your point, Kal. What I was getting at was that most live shows do not have dedicated surround channels via speaker banks behind and around the audience. |
