| High end stores closing do you really care I 1st got into the equipment with the advent of CD's during the 80's. My parents were killed in a hotel fire in Puerto Rico in 1986. I spent a month down there finalizing their affairs and I wound up spending a lot of time at a audio salon. It was... | |
| Is HDCD dead? Just rec'd Wayne Wallace's (Trombone-playing/Master arranger/educator/longtime member of West Coast Latin Jazz scene dating back to Azteca and continuing to work with John Santos for decades!)2 latest recordings; 'Devotion' and 'The Reckless Searc... | |
| When is your system good enough-and why? I come to A'gon everyday and only check out the discussions. I'm more than happy with my rig so now all my disposable income goes to the music. My magazine-reading reflects this as I rarely read any of the audio mags anymore but still devour Jazzt... | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice I've been following this thread with interest as I used to own a Mapleknoll 20 yrs ago! Was the original model with the funky wood body. It was one of the finest sounding turntables I'd ever owned BUT...man, did she require attention. Pumps, hoses... | |
| Does a component stand impact the sound I originally bought my Billy Bags rack ($600 here on A'gon!) primarily 'cause I like the look and felt it was a good deal, especially 'cause I could pick it up close to home. I was floored by the sonic difference, quieter with more detail were my ... | |
| SACD in Atlanta There's a huge gap in music availability since Tower shut down. If you're into alt rock there's always Criminal Records, but for anything else you'r SOL! | |
| Will the ipod be the death of the CD? Forget about IPOD replacing CD, it's ruining the audiophile hobby as we know it! Think I'm over-reacting? I predict that each succeeding generation will have less and less inclination to sit in front of a properly set up system and just plain list... | |
| Steely Dan covers? Released on the Tonecenter label within he last 4 months, 'The Royal Dan', an instrumental guitar tribute featuring, amongst others, Steve Lukather, Mike Stern, Al DiMeola, Robben Ford, Frank Gambale, and others. A smokin', hot session! | |
| Larry Carlton If you dig 'Firewire', check out his previous album, 'Sapphire Blue', it's a return to his hard blues/rock side. I've been listening to Larry Carlton since his days with the Crusaders. It's good to see him returning to his harder-edged roots, now ... | |
| Jethro Tull Tull used to be a favorite of mine 35 yrs ago! The thread started out saying something to the efect that the players've all changed from record to record. This may true but originally, while always being centered on Ian Anderson, this was a workin... | |
| Review: Spendor SP-100 Speaker Myungjong, back when I originally bought my S100's, the SP100 came out less than a year after my initial purchase. At the time it was said that the major difference between the 2 speakers was that the SP100 had added inner shielding to allow the p... | |
| Review: Spendor SP-100 Speaker Coincidence!! I'm using an RM-9 also, talk about a match made in heaven!! | |
| Review: Spendor SP-100 Speaker My Spendor's are 16 yrs old! They're S100's, not SP's. For a little over 10 yrs I lived in Condo/apts so my system, while being used, was used very moderately. During the last 6 months I've been living in a house again and have been re-discovering... | |
| Review: Dolan PM 1 Preamplifier Nice review of an extremely overlooked audio classic. I bought one new and still own it. It served me faithfully until I got bit by the tube bug and am now using Audio Research separates for my phono/pre/amplification. I had the brass faceplate bu... | |
| How do you know if you need a power conditioner? I have a power conditioner in my system. I've read many pros and cons, primarily sonic considerations about them. I remain neutral as I truly don't hear a major difference in sound quality. Suffice to say, if it made a substantial change for the w... |
