| Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have 2004 Racing Yellow Triumph Daytona 600A stylish and razor sharp 600 that still feels comfortable to ride. Hey if it's good enough for James Bond, it's good enough for me! Excellent bike.I am now thinking seriously about splashing out for the new M... | |
| best non guitar rock solo How about "Living on the Fault Line", by the Doobie Brothers?A great rock VIBES solo, thrown into the mix with several other solos including guitars.Decent recording, too. | |
| What early 70's rock bands had violins? DuanegoosenI hope you weren't including Gentle Giant in "brain fry poop".OK, its a little pretentious, but some of my earliest audiophile aspirations began while listening to my "Peel the Paint" on my older, next door neighbor's stereo.I was hypno... | |
| Want to build my own equipment. As a subset of this thread, does anyone know any "high end" metal fabricators that might supply the industry or otherwise be available to make a chassis for a custom amp, preamp etc. | |
| Simple, Bargain Basement Rewiring For Audiophiles MartyThanks for the advice on steak, but I think you are on the wrong thread -- check out "In Praise of Audiogon".(And for steak in NYC, I would suggest the aged rib eye at the Post House on E 63rd over the ones you mentioned.)Further to rewiring ... | |
| Shipping Maggies Magneplanar is very helpful in these situations.I was able to recently purchase a set of Tympani boxes brand new from them -- last made about 20 years ago, remember -- so I would think boxes for 1.6s should be no problem at all.Even if the seller ... | |
| Man my Center Channel Sounds Sweet Tonight Bravo DaryllhifiI heard a single pair of Wilson Watt/Puppy 7's recently which had an amazing feature -- a center channel speaker that was not only wireless and requred no additional amplification but was also completely invisible. This seems to be... | |
| Can Anyone Please Walk Me Through This? Onhwy61The Nakamichi CD400 has RCA inputs on the BACK, not the front, but the front panel selects the source radio, CD, or aux.A RCA to mini jack cable is permanently installed and hidden under the center console, so the Ipod can be easily plugged... | |
| Can Anyone Please Walk Me Through This? I dont think I am as rigid as the tone of my post might have suggested. I am glad, however, that this has inspired a lively discussion and thank you everyone for your thoughts.I am not trying to brag about my golden ears, and perhaps I was listeni... | |
| Can Anyone Please Walk Me Through This? OK - maybe we can simplify this for everyone:1) MP3 algorithims have improved dramatically, but they are still compressed, digital files and let's face it: they ain't high end. Their limitations and artifacts may be obscured by the signal chain, o... | |
| Can Anyone Please Walk Me Through This? SidsspI am sure the 320 kbs is much better and probably pretty good. I do find it interesting, however, in a forum where we split hairs between CD transports and cables, that the WAV (bit for bit) files would be indistinguishable from the compress... | |
| Can Anyone Please Walk Me Through This? Thanks for the excellent posts so far. As much as I would like tubes and a turntable in my car, I think hard drived based music is here to stay for a while.Sidssp, interesting that you were comfortable with MP-3 at 320kbs. Perhaps I was not using ... | |

| Mark Levinson 23.5 Stereo or Mono? RastanearianI own and love my 23.5 and have also wondered about buying another and biamping for monstrous amounts of power. Or to really go wild and use two 23.5s bridged with two more tube monoblocks on the mids and treble.My sense is that this c... | |
| IPOD and an audiophile soundcard NtscdanA friend recently asked me how to "digitize" old reel to reel recordings which led me to two salesmen who recommended the M-Audio Audiophile A to D device and the "lite" version of Peak Software.Interesting, however, these guys did not stri... |
