| Your last concert was to see who and when? Santana at some outdoor pier in NYC back in the 80s. Buddy Miles was singing lead vocals. Graham Lear on drums was terrific. After that, I had no desire to get trampled and possibly shot at NY concert venues. | |
| Wet Cleaning the Stylus I use the zerodust before each wet cleaning to keep the junk out of the bottle of stylus cleaner. Audiotop is the best fluid I've ever tried, but too expensive to contaminate. Magic Eraser at the end of every session. I don't like to use it too ma... | |
| Special artists never mentioned before on Agon Bob Berg played sax with Horace Silver, if that helps. Tom Harrell played trumpet. Both fantastic players. | |
| Anyone Experienced Douglas Cables? No obvious flaws other than finding your previous speakers to be more engaging. Sometimes that happens and you have to suck it up and move back. I sold my Opera Callas speakers for another more expensive speaker and it just didn't work well in my ... | |
| Is a louder IC cable a better cable? No offense, but if, as you said, "I don't know how to make an educated decision", you should not be spending thousands on cable until you do. That could come by way of your own experience or employing the help of someone you trust. IMO, you should... | |
| It's official, there's nothing weirder than... There are a couple of documentaries on Queen, all excellent, by the way. They discuss Freddie's upbringing and heritage and it was thought at the time by all involved that his non-European heritage would not be accepted in the rock industry. I can... | |
| It's official, there's nothing weirder than... Your understanding of what is wrong with Journey shows a much higher level of insight into music. Journey is, and always was, nothing but a product. Yes, all commercial music is a product and someone has to make some money, but bands like Journey ... | |
| Not impressed You should speak with Bo1972. He goes all over the world and has tested every component and has done demonstrations for every manufacturer and has consistently shown hi-end dealers how to get the best sound at the shows. He has multitudes of clien... | |
| Anyone Experienced Douglas Cables? I see from your system posts that you just got the Vons in March 2014. Give them a few more months to break in before you start making changes. IMO. Plus, your ear needs to get used to the somewhat different presentation from your old speakers. In... | |
| Phono cartridge grading Cool - my cart was #30 and it didn't cost much. | |
| What to use in polishing high quality wood speaker More important than the wood product is the technique and tools. Use only 100% cotton towels or microfiber cloths and rub gently in straight lines to avoid scratching. No paper towels. As to product, probably any decent wood spray will work, depen... | |
| Reviews of $10k plus ics, speaker wires, and pcs I just heard an Argento IC the other day. I wish I could say I didn't hear what it did better than the very good IC I was comparing it with. | |
| 25 watts Class A or 70 watts Class A/B ? While others might disagree, Naim amps function best with Naim preamps. The 300 is a wonderful amplifier, but I don't know if you'll be getting the best out of it without at least a Naim 282 preamp or better. IMO, Class A, Class B or whatever does... | |
| $6000 budget question Harbeth SHL-5. It will work great with your integrated and has a full, big sound with well-balanced bass response. I also think the Totem Forest is worth looking at. The Totem Mani-2 is a very good speaker - a stand mount with excellent bass respo... | |
| Hot Stamper - myth or reality? The only one who sells Hot Stampers is Better Records. It's a name they coined and it doesn't exist anywhere else. They claim to do listening shootouts between numerous copies and they select the best-sounding copies to sell as Hot Stampers. They ... |
