| Spendor vs. Von Schweikert? Thx for the responses! I'm reading this with much interest. One thing though, as far as the Spendor's only sounding good with "softer" music, I couldn't disagree more. My favorite types of music are Latin Jazz, Latin dance music, Fusion, Jazz, Blu... | |
| well-recorded country music recommedation Just picked up Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder - Live. MAN, this is killa bluegrass! | |
| Special birthday audio gift to yourself? My birthday was this past Oct. and I treated myself to an Audio Research PH3, bought right here at A'gon! Listening to it as I type this, truthfuly, it took my LP playback to an exciting new level. | |
| ACAPPELLA CD RECOMMENDATIONS Surprised that the premier acapella group of our time hasn't been mentioned yet, TAKE 6!! Their debut album, 'Take 6', and the 2nd, '2 much 2 say'(?) are truly outstanding. They come from the Church but lean strongly into doo wop/jazz stylings. 1s... | |
| Sony DVD S7000 or S7700 I opted for the 7000 and the 1st thing I did was go get a DVD of 'Saving Private Ryan' which is listed as a DTS movie. It played it flawlessly! Any movie I've gotten that has DTS on it has always played on my 7000. For awhile I had it hooked up to... | |
| good recordings of Bob Marley Wazzup All!Gottatellya, being advised to stay away from his 1st 'live' recording due to it's not being "audiophile-quality" is poor advice indeed. This is one of the greatest Live recordings of all times, of ANY music! Recorded in a theater full o... | |
| Capacitors drying out in an old amp Wazzup All!I'm reading this with great interest. I have a 15 yr. old Dolan PM-1 pre-amp and was wondering whether the internal parts have deteriorated over the years. The Pre-amp hasn't been used for the past few years and is just sitting in a clo... | |
| CD stuck in Player---Help---Bebel Gilberto Wazzup all!As good as her new one is, her debut record, 'tanto tempo(?)' is that much better, check it out! | |
| Has someone imposed a speed limit on jazz? Charlie Hunter reminds me of Stanley Jordan. Phenomenal chops but no soul!! By no means should an opinion of Jazz in general (which certainly has it's problems) be based on this particular artist. BTW, where is Stanley now? | |
| Japanese CD's Wazzup All!When CD's were introduced I was able to find many Japanese imports at Tower Records in NYC. From labels like Canyon and Electric Bird featuring a lot of the NYC session aces. I've got 2 Bob Mintzer CD's featuring the Brecker Bros. and J... | |
| What happens to speakers over time? Wazzup All!I've owned my Spendor S100's for 15 yrs and they still sound fantastic! My question is this; for the past 6-7 yrs I've lived in an apartment and really haven't been crankin' it up at all, do you think this might factor into their longev... | |
| Another Kind Of Blue Wazzup Jond!Couldn't agree more with your review more, it's a great record! Actually, it's been a good year for Miles & Latin Jazz. Another project released this year is Humberto Ramirez - 'Miles Latino'. If you're not familiar with Ramirez's ... | |
| most analog sounding CDP My Arcam FMJ CD23T run thru my Music Reference RM5 MKIII tube pre to my Music Reference RM9 tube amp to my Spendor S100's absolutely works for me! Although I must admit for true 'Analog' sound my Linn/Lingo/LP12/Ittok MkIV/Ortofon Kontrapunkt B ri... | |
| CD Burning: What Route Should I Go? I used to have a phillips stand-alone CDR and was it ever a pain in the ass!! It would freeze up and once that happened I'd have to start all over again! This would happen 25-35% of the time. I finally bit the bullet and bought a Pioneer Elite CDR... | |
| What's on your reading list? Wazzup All!Just finished 'In The Company Of Heroes'. A first-hand account by helicopter pilot(Night Ranger) Michael Durant. He was the chopper pilot who went down and was captured in Mogadishu, as depicted in the book and movie 'Black Hawk Down'. ... |
