| Rolling Stones - Hackney Diamonds I was shocked and pleased when I first heard Hackney Diamonds. Mick and the boys made a surprisingly good album. | |
| Fed Ex makes good I’ve always had good luck with FedEx. UPS is another story. Let’s just say I’ll not be using Brown again. They are neck and neck with the USPS. | |
| How much power needed to drive 91db speakers? I would like to thank everyone except @billstevenson for giving me intelligent and helpful answers. I’m going to borrow a friend’s DVR that even though it class D, it’s rated at @75 watts per channel, so I should be able to get an idea. | |
| What is your scariest moment in High End audio? @retiredaudioguy When I first read your post where you said you had a glass of wine in hand, my first image was you spilling it into your tube preamp. That would make for a mighty bad day. | |
| Subjective vs. objective? Or subjective and objective? Thanks @bdp24 I watched and enjoyed Danny’s video and read all the comments. One person mentioned a bunch of YT people like Darko, Tarun Terry etc, and I heard of all but one. Who is Randall and what’s his YT channel? | |
| Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist You my friend have good taste in female singers. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Robin Trower, Come And Find Me.. | |
| Unusual countries for audio gear I have family in Norway and it amazes me how much hifi comes from such a small population. | |
| A review on the Plinius Audio reference dual mono M-10 preamplifier @teajay I’m looking forward to reading your review. I always enjoy them. | |
| Swapped the baby Maggie’s in this evening I definitely don’t change out speakers every three-four months. I’d probably be in jail if I tried. 😁 Although I have had probably a dozen or so speakers in the fifty plus years I’ve been into hifi and still have four pairs hanging around. | |
| How much power needed to drive 91db speakers? @freediver Thank you! That is incredible generous of you and I will definitely keep it in mind. curiousjim ,I have a small Chinese made Pure Class A integrated amplifier that is based on the original Sugden A21..Puts out 15wpc.@8 ohms & c... | |
| What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase? @onehorsepony I currently have the same preamp and amps and went with Sonus Farber speakers. I would stay away from KEF or any other company with metal tweeters. I had KEF Reference 5’s and they hurt my ears even at lower levels. I tried a coup... | |
| How much power needed to drive 91db speakers? @ghdprentice George, I knew when I mentioned the Ref 80s that you’d chime in.😁 Do you have an older Amati model? The G5 ( which I have) is 91 db, so that makes me agree with you even more about 70 watts being more than enough. Now to start ... | |
| How much power needed to drive 91db speakers? @kofibaffour I said class A watts. I never mentioned Tubes. But now that you mention it, there’s an ARC 80S amplifier listed elsewhere that peaked my curiosity.😁 It uses 4KT 150’s and can put out 70 watts. | |
| Immersed in the Music Not in years. When I was a teen and had few responsibilities I could close my eyes and drift away with the tunes. Then came life and age. I bet it’s been close to fifty years since I’ve had the experience.☹️ |
