| Take up drums at age 56? Don't worry about not playing with live musicians. Put on a pair of headphones and play along with records. They're better than anyone you're going to play with. | |
| Take up drums at age 56? Can you start at 56? Why not? I mean, if you're just playing for your own enjoyment. There is so much out on the web now that wasn't there when I was a kid, but I would suggest you start out with at least a few lessons from a local teacher. Th... | |
| Looking for a little help for speakers I may purchase @pcc67. I assure you it was never my intention to be rude. I was merely suggesting you avail yourself of your dealer’s experience. Also, whenever you go public with something you open yourself up to potential criticism. I hope you find a good amp.... | |
| Looking for a little help for speakers I may purchase Why don't you ask the dealer for a recommendation? How many people responding to this thread will actually have experience pairing those exact speakers with an amplifier? | |
| Tube Integrated Pairing For Harbeth Monitor 30.1 As someone who owned both the Monitor 30’s and the SHL5’s, I think your friend is limiting himself by not considering SS as well as tubes. IMO, amps like the Supernait or even a used Naim 202/200 combo would work very well with the Harbeths. In fa... | |
| I need bass Bass is very room-dependent, hence the differing opinions on the bass output of various speakers. Why not just get a sub and cross the Zu over at 100hz or so, which will free up the Zu from having to produce low bass. Worth a try if it's bass yo... | |
| Doncha get bummed? Many of the older recordings were made before the variable panpot, so you either got hard right, hard left or center. Brubeck Time Out for example. It's a great recording though and Morello's drums sound terrific. Some of the Bill Evans stuff ha... | |
| Does anyone know anything about the audio dealer True Audiophile ? I bought some Audiotop stuff from them years back. Everything came as advertised. When I wanted to refill, the prices on the stuff went up so high that I backed off. They offered me 10% off, which was at least trying, but I still voted with my ... | |
| Lyngdorf Customer Service If you purchased from a dealer, demo or not, that dealer is obligated to provide assistance with service. That is one of the things you pay for when you purchase from a professional seller. Contact your dealer, not the company. And just FYI, ma... | |
| Trained ears. I wonder if people really learn to listen. I was mesmerized the first time I heard my uncle's JBL Paragon/Mac system back in the 60's. My father owned EV400 and an HK receiver and I was constantly listening until I was old enough to buy my own s... | |
| Is OPPO worth the inflated price? I own a 205 and I don't think it's that great. It's worth the $1200 I paid, but it's no giant-killer. At least not to me. But, it does basically everything and sounds pretty good doing it. But it does not sound like a 3k CD-only player. If yo... | |
| Harbeth SHL 5 amplification I think what is almost uniformly left out of these type of discussions are the listener's musical preferences and expectations. If all one listens to is string quartets, solo guitar and other small-scale works, a low-powered tube amp may be absol... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? I'm not sure how strong the laws are in China against counterfeiting, if they exist at all. I believe this is one of the subjects of the current talks between our countries. OTOH, there are several companies marketing products here that slap the... | |
| Worth to upgrade my Audience aR6-TSS to aR6-TSSOX? For that kind of money, you should be saying "holy crap" or it's equivalent. When I upgraded from the AR6 to the AR6T, that's how I felt. It was a definite upgrade. Everything sounded less electronic with more space between instruments. The re... | |
| Harbeth SHL 5 amplification As I said in my response to your previous post, you need to demo the speakers at home with your equipment. Or at least bring your amp to the dealer. That said, if you are looking for "power" the SHL5s will sound better, IMO with a robust amplifi... |
