| Sansui CA3000 Preamp. Pioneer Spec Pream they are massive and built in the '70's. most were purchased at px's because they were massive and built in the '70's. i woudn't hesitate buying either if you're in the market for a boat anchor or doorstop that's massive and built in the '70's. | |
| FLUANCE Speakers. Look like BW 802 i dunno, but i think they're closer to the ol' FLATULENCE 404's. maybe not in looks but pretty sure in sound. | |
| Shun Monk and speaker,s ? don't you mean "shun mook" & doesn't your keyboard have a ' key as well as , ? my personal feng shui advisor has placed 8 pair of giant diamond resonators under my speakers and several hundred mpingo discs throughout my home. i have a hard tim... | |
| Speakers for Pass Aleph 3 you're takin' a somewhat bass ackwards approach. nonetheless, i'd recommend ae-2's. no longer made (BIG mistake on the part of the new owners from Japan) but readily available used. if they're in your price range, the signature model's even better... | |
| Anyone heard "O Brother Where Art Thou? sorry about the double post. thought i had "cleared" before reposting. guess not. | |
| Anyone heard "O Brother Where Art Thou? suburuguru: i think i have about every fairfield four disc of the last 10 years. their best is the first i bought: "standing in the safety zone" (WB 9 26945-2). two others that are fun: "i couldn't hear nobody pray" (WB 9 4668 2); "the fairfield f... | |

| Speaker punishing bass my most punishing bass test track on cd is "poem of chinese drums" (naxos), also available on burmester's vorfuhrungs-cd III. on lp "dafos" (reference recordings) is the clear choice. | |
| Gold disk VS regular disk? abstract7: yes, i agree with your assessment that most remastered cd's are superior to those released "in the dawn" of the digital age. i, nonetheless, believe that some remasters are as bright and edgy as their predecessors. xrcd's are uniformly ... | |
| Gold disk VS regular disk? doug28450: you needn't worry about sounding like your "typical" highend critic. you're nowhere close to the requisite equivocation. -kelly | |
| Gold disk VS regular disk? abstract7: perhaps i don't understand your statement about "direct comparisons" but i can tell you that, as far as i know, there've been very few, if any, gold cd's that weren't also available in "high ho silver" in one form or another. and, yes, ... | |
| Music for "Tough Times" jadem6: wow, talk about a heavy heart. how can anybody else but you possibly understand? tell ya what: i'm gonna' go listen to sheryl's "tues. night" right now in the hope it'll get you, and maybe even me, through the next 4X10 years. keep on truc... | |
| Techno Anyone? "numbers" by the progenitors of techno, kraftwerk, is a great test track. i love to put it into a system on which chamber music is clearly favored, then crank it up to see whether the speaker cones give way before the patience of the tight-assed m... | |
| Music for "Tough Times" interesting question, garfish. i can think of several recordings, tho my no. 1 vote goes to ani difranco's "dilate," in particular track 1: "untouchable face." read or listen to the lyrics and i think you'll undersatnd why i favor it. (parental di... | |
| The best digital hook up? xmikex: i think you will find that a good quality at&t link will outperform coax of any quality; at least that's true in my digital setup. if you have aes/ebu connection capability, i would also audition a high quaility link of that variety; i... |
