| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? I've run Tekton with tubes and First Watt (J2), they are efficient and sound very good, not very attractive (subjective). I was overall very pleased with Enzo. However, I have since moved on to open baffle. I prefer the sound of OB speakers and ... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? 1969 King Crimson Hyde Park. | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Frumpy 2. | |
| 6000 dollars CD player Look into a used Oppo 205 and mod it with leftover money. | |
| 16 ohm speakers: any amp sounds better with more resolution. speaker cables less critical. A question I always was curious about. My amp (FW J2) rates at 12w 4 ohms and 25w into 8. Yet when I connect my 16 ohm speakers ( Spatial TM) they rate back to around 12w. Never really understood how it worked that way. Figured I’d jump into this ... | |
| Best debut album Court of the Crimson King. Roxy Music. Two of the most influential albums ever made. | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) Last month bought a B stock Vanatoo Zero pair for $319 for my computer. They looked new and I am very satisfied on sound. I have had some pretty nice desktop speakers in the past, these top them all. | |
| Wow an old album that rocked your world Rock your world? Put on these three records (any order): Red- King Crimson. Frumpy 2 -Frumpy. Hot Rats- Zappa. You'll need a shower afterwards. | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? I purchased a TEAC 1000R in 83 when I was in Germany in the Army. It has been stored since the 90’s. It is not that I didn’t like it, but I never used it. CD was the new kid on the block and I bought a nice Dbx player and built a collection. The f... | |
| Take up drums at age 56? At 54 I purchased my first drum kit last year. Mostly for physical therapy (disabled). I last played drums in 79 for about a week (borrowed uncle's kit to do a high school talent show). Did a lot of research, wanted a nice Tama kit with all the t... | |
| Song (or music) you want played at your funeral. Saturday Sun by Nick Drake. | |
| Pass Labs AMP’s- What is the best Pass Amp Sound for You from past 10 years Big fan of the J2. I switched from tubes to the J2 about 4 years ago and have never looked back. I couldn't imagine two, the heat from one warms the room. Currently driving the M3 Triode Masters and am quite satisfied. If your in the market for an... | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? If you are worried about the price of Pass amps and happen to have efficient speakers, try the First Watt line. Wonderful amps that won't break your bank. | |
| Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time" The Tekton discussions have been back and forth since the Pendragons had an initial stellar Home Theatre review. This irritated several people who did not want to be told from a professional reviewer that their 5-20k speakers might not be as goo... | |
| Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers? LZ is the last band that should point fingers at other bands for copying music. They have made a career out of it. Most bands call it “influence”, but let’s call it what it really is. |
