| Conservative Politics & Rock Music Please let me state my point of view that I am conservative but came in through the back door as I would say I was once a radical socialist. The reason most of these songs are selected is that most of the people selecting them are white males that... | |
| B&W Nautilus 800N . Best amp & preamp setup ? I had 800N with my Lamm 1.2 ref amps and loved them. I used Jeff Rowland Synergi IIi as my preamp. I think all the amp manufacturers you list are obviusly very good. I think the Lamms excel in soundstage and have an unreal three dimension quality.... | |
| Does your system always sound good? My system now, always sounds great. With any music that I like, I am always amazed at the sound quality and the enjoyment I get from it. | |
| Amp for B&W 802N I can't give you help on those you asked about but I have the same speakers. I used Rowland M201s and they were great. They are in that price range and I would highly reccomend them. The M501 are even better. I tried these and the Lamm M1.2 refere... | |
| Seeking hot running amps My Lamm M 1.2 reference are just warm enough to roast a mashmellow on during a frosty morning. I would look at these. I may be exagerating the heat a little but you get the idea. | |
| Boring but still needed: which VHS VCR? I would look for a recordable DVD player with a hard drive and a VCR. This way you can transfer all your VCR tapes you still like to DVDs, watch your VCRs, watch DVDs and even edit it. I think I have a Panasonic, and beside the remote, love it. | |
| Office system I love the idea of an all vintage McIntosh system, but now I am back to higher costs. It is never easy but I definately want this to be all tube. I think I will start with amp and preamp and then add the speakers to it. | |
| Audio Debt? Never. You can't have a hobby that owns you. | |
| Office system See how much fun this is going to be? A whole new world of cool stuff. And I do not have to worry about "best" anything, just what can I find and if it is any good. I am starting my search tonight. Keep the ideas coming. | |
| Office system Thanks Bignerd100 and Rich. I have a bunch of vintage tuners and what I like in vintage stuff is that they are unique and have typically a warm sound. Especially tube versions. I am a bit of an electronics geek and have a bunch of vintage tuners s... | |
| Wadia Durability Experience Questions I have had a Wadia 270 SE for about two years. Zero problems and love it. Good luck. | |
| What does everyone think of Zu Cables Wax? I own the wax an liked them very much, especially for the price. I have Kubala-Sosna in my system and these are definately better but you can get wax at $250 used verses $2500 used for the Zu Wax. They are clear and have good punch, I think the KS... | |
| Any Electricians home? Awesome. Money well spent and you learned a little too. | |
| Can you be an audiophile if ... If you stereo costs more than your car, I think you are an audiophile. I live in a neighborhood with medium sized homes and my kids love it there. I can move and have a music room, but my kids would be miserable. Now I really love music, and do th... | |
| What will a DAC do for me? i was in a similar situation and I can say the right DAC will definately improve your sound. What I found is a good DAC takes the edge of digital formats and seems to give a greater three dimensional sound stage that typically comes from vinyl. I ... |
