| other singers like Patricia Barber..... and her "Modern Cool" is REALLY cool! Dave's True Story is pretty cool, too. | |
| Best cd player under $600 used for system I'll "third" that. NAD gets knocked a lot, partly because they're quite successful. Regardless of what others might say, the 541i is damn good player, esp. for the money. | |
| BEETHOVEN'S LATE STRING QUARTETS Ah, yes, Dan....too bad some of these "vintage" (makes me feel old!) recordings have been relegated to the dustbin. The Quartetto Italiano was always one of my favorites. Have a lot of their stuff on vinyl, thankfully. | |
| Review: Plinius 8200 Amplifier No, Redkiwi, it wasn't me!! I actually responded to another post on another thread about Scotch. I listed two of the three you mentioned, Lagavulin and Talisker! I also listed Knockando. So, ye ha' goood taste! | |
| Little Know Speaker Builders Meisterkleef:That should be www.kineticaudio.com (i.e., no dash) | |
| Diana Krall - What is your favorite CD of hers? Buxter,I agree that musical tastes are personal. I just hope we 'gonners don't take things personally in the process of exchanging opinions and views.Speaking of personal tastes, what's your favorite single malt? Perhaps another thread on this?! F... | |
| Review: Plinius 8200 Amplifier Redkiwi,Yes, I know about why you are referred to as "kiwis." I grew up in Scotland (which I think of as another former English colony!). I carry two passports (UK, US) just in case I get into trouble.I was hoping to get to NZ for part of the Dyla... | |
| Review: Plinius 8200 Amplifier It sure IS a wonderful beast! I just got an Arcam cd player yesterday (used Alpha 9). Man, the Plinius/Arcam combination is a fine one! | |
| BEETHOVEN'S LATE STRING QUARTETS Buxter, I agree!! I was waiting for someone to say so! I can't stand them, and Peter Cropper's sniffing is enough to drive me off a cliff. | |
| Review: Plinius 8200 Amplifier Sherod, I've got a couple of spaces staked out on lower Wacker Drive that might fit the bill! I'll see about getting some hospital-grade outlets installed.What about the BMI pc's (Whale, Eel, etc)? Any experience with them? | |
| High end vs internet Geeesh....this topic again, and the same valid points from several viewpoints. I feel obligated to buy the equipment I want and can afford. If I can find it cheaper online, then that's the way I go. However, I do have an audio dealer from whom I b... | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase Um...I got divorced in order to avoid this issue...or was it because of it?... | |
| Review: Plinius 8200 Amplifier Z-man,You're not far from the truth!! With alimony and taxes to worry about, it could very well end up there! At least the Plinius runs warm! | |
| Diana Krall - What is your favorite CD of hers? DK bores me, too. Contrary to Buxter, I find Patricia Barber to be innovative and an interesting lyricist, much like Dave's True Story.Patricia Barber, Tierney Sutton, Paula West, Christine Tobin all put out much better recordings (IMO) than DK. | |
| Review: Plinius 8200 Amplifier Update:I have installed an Acoustic Zen Tsunami pc, per the recommendation of Sherod and others. This has definitely reduced the noise floor...no question about it, and taken some haze out of the overall soundscape. I also have some new (but used)... |
