| specs on a signet tk9ea cartridge? I also have an old Signet cartridge tucked away as a 'back-up', perhaps the same one even. I know that I do not have the original box, so I can't be of much help on that note. However, I know for a fact that a local stereo dealer who used to sell ... | |
| 5 most overrated movies ever...... Well...even though I enjoyed the film (but not a LOT), I will agree that Lord of the Rings was very over-rated. Perhaps my expectation were too high. I didn't even bother mentioning 'Titantic' since that one's so obvious that it goes without sayin... | |
| What are the 5 most overrated rock albums? Hey Tweakgeek,Looks like you started a lively thread and was most intrigued to see a few of your 'best of' inclusions. I'm a bit disappointed that you pick 'Siren' as the best Roxy Music album, but kudos for throwing the Residents in there (what a... | |
| 5 most overrated movies ever...... I'm pretty much with you on those points Ben.Gladiator - yes...empty spectacle, although I walked from the theatre with a bit of appreciation for the entertainment value of the sheer spectacle and attempt at classic movie grandeur. Certainly a pal... | |
| homeade equipment racks?? opinions? I would also recommend you take a look at the 'Ikea Lyte' rack noted in the Audiogon thread that Sean refers to. Haven't made one myself, but I have been considering it for some time now. Seems like a very nice and sensible design. | |
| Audiogoners-some musical recommendations OK...a few things I've been listening to lately which incorporate sounds that are diverse but could very well have a lot of crossover appeal; all recorded rather nicely as well.Phil Ranelin: early '70's jazz grooves from a Detroit jazz musician th... | |
| Which CD Players Are both Warm and Detailed I tried a few players before settling on a Densen B-400, which seems to embody some of the qualities you seek, perhaps falling somewhere between the 'warm' and 'natural' camps. I continue to be impressed by it's sound. Densen's presence is minimal... | |
| Kaleidoscope patterns on dvd? The filmmaker/cultural anthropologist Harry Smith was producing some truly innovative and amazing animations in the late 1940's and 1950's, most of which transcend similar attempts by today's modern filmmakers attempts at such imagery. It's amazin... | |
| I would use the bold letters... I haven't listened to the Lounge Lizards in quite awhile, but based on my memories of their 'sound', I might suggest that you check out the music of Charles Brackeen and Henry Threadgill. Curlew also did some interesting things in this vein of sou... | |
| WASATCH ULTAMA For 4000 / Any Experience? I have no experience with their speaker cables, but I am very pleased with the RCA-105 interconnect cables I own and would assume the performance of the speaker cables will follow suit. The 105's are very nice sounding for the money by my estimate... | |
| speaker cable sugestions for kef 103/3 & c-j mv55 I owned a pair of these for a number of years. The last year or so that I owned them I began toying around with a few cables and found that Analysis Plus Oval 12 seemed to work rather nicely, (at a modest cost as well). Good luck. | |
| How long the most you have listened to music... Ah yes...I have had a number of such Can-sessions my self. Playing 'Yoo Doo Right' at wall-shaking levels is still enough to frighten me. But a quick spin of 'Bel Air' should be able to serve as a tonic to bring me back to a quiet space. Now, if I... | |
| How long the most you have listened to music... It has been well established, Mr. Marakanetz, that listening to all four sides of Can's 'Tago Mago', will transport you to a realm where time does not exist! | |
| Personal speaker evolution I've tended to hang on to speakers for a fair amount of time, and have only submerged myself into the audio pursuit in the last couple of years, but here's what I remember..1) Sears brand plastic turntable with supplied plastic cube speakers; owne... | |
| Anyone familiar with "White Stripes" ??? I caught them at a show in Detroit as the opening act for a show the recently re-formed Pretty Things played here in Michigan. Hadn't heard them up to that point, though I did quite dig the sound they were cranking out. A nice stripped down and en... |
