| SF Assemblage ST-40 tube amp? Harv, thanks for your input. Um, I'm afraid we're ALL on the lunatic fringe, being in this hobby in the first place (whether tube-heads, solid state-heads, digi-heads, styli-heads, whatever). So, I'm not dismissing you! I agree that a simpler circ... | |
| CONRAD JOHNSON TUBE LOVERS HEAVEN Glad you use a Resolution Audio CD50. I just love mine to death! I prefer mine without a preamp. I'm not a "tube guy" yet, but plan to get a cheap tube amp for kicks. | |
| BEST HEAVY METAL BAND I never saw Blue Murder, but I remember that they opened for Bon Jovi for a while. Skid Row opened for them when I saw Jovi. I wish I would have seen Quiet Riot back then. Night Ranger was a good band, and also Damn Yankees (with Shaw, Blades, Nug... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! I admit to liking the Brady Bunch "Sunshine Day", don't think they wrote it, though. Don't own a CD of it, either. Anyone see the TV "tell alls" recently? I thought they were interesting, and even cute. I loved both of the feature films too, they ... | |
| SF Assemblage ST-40 tube amp? Thanks anyway, Osclib. I checked out the bottlehead.com, and their amps aren't powerful enough for me (although Sam Tellig thinks the 2A3 tube is the "tube of the 21st century", heh heh). They'd be interesting if I had really effecient speakers (o... | |
| All cables are Neuteral? Gee. I guess if we weren't trying to get the most out of our systems IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE OUR ENJOYMENT OF THE MUSIC IN THE FIRST PLACE, we would take your advice. But since we are, who are you to disparriage us? I don't go buy what a magazine rec... | |
| Magnapan MMG Thanks Mr. Dog, I'll check it out. | |
| SACD vs. DVD vs. HDCD Of course the SACD format is superior to an HDCD encoded CD (not sure if it's better than DVD audio), but that doesn't mean it will win. I think MP3 will win, because it sucks, and the general public doesn't care a whit about sound quality! THEY N... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! I liked Ratt, and Journey too. Ratt ne how to perform live, the drummer alone was one of the best ever! You must be over 40, or something. The 70's had plenty of terrible music, too! (i.e, most of Fleetwood Mack)................Agree about Jimmy P... | |
| SF Assemblage ST-40 tube amp? Thanks to both of you. I'm interested in buying something that's already depreciated, so I can sell it again if I don't like it (seems like I already said that, but oh well). Not interested in any preamps of any sort right now, don't need them. Ne... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! A tie between "No Doubt" and "the Black Crows". | |
| Magnapan MMG You're welcome. You're ahead of most guys on here, IMHO. | |
| MY Sidewinder AC cord progress: Yes, the two pronged DVD player connector has to be retrofitted onto a cord, as far as I know. You could probably order some cords with it, perhaps even the powersnake cords. I have no idea which coord would work best with your DV-05, but I'm sure... | |
| MY Sidewinder AC cord progress: It had the neutrality I was expecting ahead of time, and the loss of resolution (mostly in the treble range) was also what I was expecting. The "analog ease" factor was noticeably diminished, but overall, I THINK I PREFER THIS COMBO MORE THAN ANY ... | |
| BEST HEAVY METAL BAND Metallica was "speed metal", and now they're just a glam band, full of hubris. Just one man's opinion, that's all...I like Spinal Tap's "Break Like the Wind". "Bitch School" is pretty good. I'm still trying to enroll some of mine there...makes 'em... |
