| R.I.P. Lou Reed Listen to Magic and Loss and not come away impressed. | |
| Best Rock Album in 2013 Love the new Arcade Fire, with a fantastic dance rhythm through most tracks. Will sound incredible live. | |
| Best Rock Album in 2013 New Frans Ferd album and Arctic Monkeys are super. NIN is a great return to form. | |
| Audio Technica AT33EV different versions? On RP6? Audio technica products are the only cartridges I use. Surprisingly, I find their budget MM ones are just as good as the mid priced ones. Try their 30 to 50 dollar line. I have found that their musicality trumps the other more expensive ones. I ha... | |
| Has anyone heard the Legacy Aeris? Great speakers, value priced. Steromojo just did a nice review of them. I liked them more than Wilson at a recent show.My current favorites are the Sony SS speakers. They are 10k versus $30k for the Legacies. Both have perfect tonal range across t... | |
| Which Harbeth Speakers The smallest ones($2k) are great with Luxman. Will be a soft, refined sound, perfect with vocals, horns and piano.I liken them to red wine. Nice warm feeling. | |
| Best Integrated, period. Just found a mint 1974 Marantz Japanese model and am blown away at the musicality of the sound. Had the boards re-soldered and new caps put in. Japanese electronics like Sansui and Marantz are second to none. I only see Luxman building this qualit... | |
| KEF LS 50 With all studio monitors, it is best to get some type of stand and place them 2 to 3 feet from the wall. These are really incredible sounding in a small room, and rate these as one of the best monitors I heard at the recent SHOW in Newport Beach. ... | |
| Linda Ronstadt can't sing anymore. One of the best. Saw her many times. Could play so many genres well. I can't think of any another vocalist with her range and talent. Also, an excellent producer, including David Lindley of El Ray-o X. | |
| LOUSY SOUND AT LIVE CONCERTS There can be amazing crystal clear sound. For one, Coldplay has the best rig in the business. The problem is that many bands rely on local production houses to provide sound and staging, so it can vary greatly by city. | |
| Favorite lp of all time London Calling for 33 years. | |
| Why does most new music suck? No Missy Elliot? No Public Enemy? No Outkast? No Roots?All you audiophiles are just bass shy playing that album oriented rock. | |
| Best Rock Album in 2013 Stockholm is a classic | |
| Why does most new music suck? I doubt any of the haters on this chain have actually: a) stepped into a record store that champions new music (Burger Records in Fullerton, CA has a stable of great young bands and regularly sells cassettes of these), b) attended a club performan... | |
| Best vintage Marantz receivers? Agree. I own a Superscope 350, which is probably best related to a 2275, but in Quad. A pleasure to listen to and the build quality is second to none. I only see this in Luxman products in Japan and they are luxury priced. |
