| Speaker Fetish Tireguy, I'd be worried if you were solely attracted to ported speakers (if you know what I mean). | |
| Radio Shack SPL Meter mods corrections Not to be dense Sean, but these adjustments are to be factored in when using the RS SPLM as described in Audiophilia? http://www.audiophilia.com/hardware/spl.htm Thanks for the tip, but I am very afraid, that as you said, I'm now in worse shape th... | |
| Album Sides I've always maintained that the way the first side of R.E.M.'s second LP, Reckoning, flows together as one is just transcendent. Unfortunately, the second side falls short of the first. Yeah, I've got to agree that the second side of Blonde on Blo... | |
| Absolute Sounds 100 best albums Hello! Earth to Absolute Sound! Randy Newman: where is Randy Newman? OK, I get it; he is neither the musician nor the lyricist Cyndi Lauper is, and he hasn't consistently put out the quality material that she has. Bollocks! How can you include the... | |
| Best value for the buck speaker cables Whatever cable, the best way to get the most value is to buy it used here on Audiogon. DO NOT BUY IT NEW. Be patient, any cable you want will almost certainly eventually be posted by someone here. | |
| Best Pre-amp under 7k Can anyone clue me in as to when the CAT Super Pooper Duper Ultimate is to be released? I'm sorry, but I cannot maintain respect for a manufacturer who "updates" his or her product on a seemingly monthly basis. It's a totally unfair practice for t... | |
| Best Travelin Music "Roadrunner", by (Jonathan Richman and) the Modern Lovers, especially if you're driving 'round Boston on Route 128. Come to think of it, the whole album is great for driving. They are the greatest unknown band since the Velvet Underground (no coin... | |
| Best tuner under 1K old or new? Yamaha T2 | |
| What equipment do you really like? The most fun purchase I've recently made was a Linn Classik and a pair of Tukans for my office at work. It's 95% of the fun of my megabuck home high end system. | |
| Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list Neil Young's "Harvest", Nautilus re-issue LP. You can still find one from time to time on eBay. It's obvious almost every track was recorded live, in one take. | |
| John Lennon I listented to "A Day In The Life" and cried, just like I did 20 years ago (same vinyl). | |
| FM Reception Cornfedboy, are you from Nebarska? If you're going to poke fun at people, you shouldn't do it from a glass houz (sic). | |
| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? The standard format for vinyl has been set: get yourself a used Linn Sondek LP12 on Audiogon. Sure, one can argue whether turntables X, Z, and Z each do a better job than the Linn at one particular aspect of vinyl reproduction, but why bother? Wha... | |
| Ear Candy: Most startling recordings. Nautilus's vinyl pressing of Neil Young's "Harvest". Try to find one used, cue it up, and prepare to be startled. | |
| Most overpriced audio component made Cables, power cords? Of course! But that's like shooting fish in a bucket. As far as I'm concerned, any gadget or doohickey from Shun Mook takes the prize (they go one better than cables: the cable jacket!). Product price truly reflective of cost:... |
