| Johnny Cash - Rest in Peace I JUST found out about this, wasn't paying attention today.Sorry to hear this, and also about John Ritter.Johnny Cash was and is a legend. Noone like him.I think the most awesome tribute in my eyes was Wall Of Voodoo doing a bizarre but great vers... | |
| Anyone compared VH Audio power cords? FWIW, I have the Flavor 2. In the past or present, I have had TG Audio HSRi & SLVR, Eichmann Xpress, MIT Z-Cord II, Shunyata Sidewinder, Bybee prototype, Harmonic Tech, and a few other DIY or Audiogon Biz cables.I think the VH is agreat deal f... | |
| Is there a Great Integrated Tube amp for $3-4K Belles 250i.120 or 125 into 8ohms, separate PS, hybrid (tubes in driver/pre stage). Newer design, surely up there in sound and quality, though admittedly I've never heard it.$3k list, you might be able to cut a deal.Also, VTL IT-85 (is that the mo... | |
| ASL 1003DT Integrated or Unico Hybrid Integrated BTW, a follow up: since the Unico (and Belles and Pathos as well) is a hybrid, with just tubed input stage, the jump from SS to this would be lessened. Perhaps the better part of both worlds..... | |
| Nick Cave - Nocturama Thanks, Cpdunn99. I knew Einsturzende Neubauten was working on some studio stuff (I am a "contributor"), so I figured he was out at least for a while. Do you know if he's gone for good ?BTW - "Headcleaner" and "Inerimsliebenden" (sp?) from EN are ... | |
| Totem Hawk, Plinius 9200, Rotel rdv-1060 a match? I've heard the Plinius 8100 driving the Totem's, and I slightly echo the "harshness" warning of Pasdrt. Grnated the system wasn't fully burned in, so that may have been it.But listening to Holly Cole's "I Can See Clearly Now" was both exciting and... | |
| ASL 1003DT Integrated or Unico Hybrid Integrated IMO, Unico would be a more useful move. ASL is very nice, but Unico is (as reviews and most folks' opinions say) a nice over-achiever.I went from a Pathos Twin Towers to the Unico, in downsizing and downgrading my system. Although nothing has come... | |
| Eva Cassidy Catalog I have both. Method Actor does have that slight rawness to it, but the music is OK, and of course Eva is always good.No Boundaries is still an Eva record, but it doesn't grab me at all emotionally like almost everything else she does. It's almost ... | |
| I'm Not Flexible I had great luck on digital front end with the Eichmann Xpress cord.I would also otherwise recommend the TG as well. You might even get a deal on a used HSRa ior HSRi. | |
| Nick Cave - Nocturama Agreed ! Like the bonus DVD video with the CD as well. Also, he was just on Letterman. But I didn't notice Blixa Bargeld with them (unless he had a vastly different look to him).Todd.PS - my 4 1/2 year old loves The Ship Song ! | |
| Have you heard the Acoustic Reality digital amps? I haven't heard them, but Ric Shultz at Electronic Visionary Systems (EVS: www.tweakaudio.com) liked them enough to be a dealer. I believe he may even have a demo for sale.I respect Ric trremendously, have had 3 of his products (2 mod's, one DAC).... | |
| Merlin TSM vs the other top monitors I like several suggestions, and will add my own. So far, the TSM's and Reference 3A De Capo's would be top choices. A couple others to consider are the Totem's, either the 1's or the Mani-2's; or the JM Reynaud Twin Mk 3's (I own these). VERY musi... | |
| SUPER TWEETERS-anybody heard them? I used to own the Tannoys, used them to add to some Lowther-based speakers I used.They sounded great, and really did a nice smooth job extending the Lowthers. I crossed them over at around 16kHz, I can't remember the exact frequency. I used them f... | |
| Now I know what SACD is good for. Way cool....I JUST picked this SACD up unheard, it was used and on sale at 30% off the used price. Paid under $8 for it ! Looking forward to the listen.I echo the sentiment here. Some great stuff being released. I will probably do some Jeff Beck (... | |
| A most neutral and transparent power cord I'll second the nod to Eichmann. I tried one out and played wiht it in several areas. I found the TG Audio SLVR beat it on my amp, but the Eichmann seemed to synergistically gel with the mod'd Sony SACD front end I have....match made in heaven !So... |
