| Your Favorite Holiday Recordings Are? Vince Guaraldi Trio: Charlie Brown Christmas Music. A real classic!James Taylor's Merry Little Christmas on his new album is a new favourite. | |
| Weird Question on Murray Pariah SACD Confusion I find the RED one easily. What I can't find is the Bach Piano Concertos that has the GOLDBERG style cover. That is what I saw, heard and liked in Tokyo.Still confused. Maybe the red one in the US is the same recording as the one with the differen... | |
| I Hate to Admit It Thank you everyone.I would love to hear more about the SOTA in hard drive based formats. Why is vinyl to digital so tedious? And what about the pro recording devices for home use?Also, it seems that the SB Extigy requires and AC adapter. Are there... | |
| So you're an audiophile - are you also a musician? Piano. Still don't have the patience to read music -- my first lesson in my twenties on "Put Put Goes the Little Steamboat" somehow failed to really move me.But I love to improvise with chords and blues scales, "fake" using chord symbols and also ... | |
| The Ferrari 288 GTO of ARC Tube Amps and just one more thing......"Ferrari" seems to be correct, not only in terms of performance but in terms of maintenance.Just spoke to ARC (very helpful) who described the D-160 as "an old Ferrari -- a money pit"!It seems all the old amps run $5-6... | |
| The Ferrari 288 GTO of ARC Tube Amps Maintenance never seems like a big deal until you try to repack an amp that weighs over 100 pounds and then find someone to collect and ship it!!!!My fried Levinson is a featherweight 75 pounds or so and I almost threw it out the window last night... | |
| The Ferrari 288 GTO of ARC Tube Amps Shubertmaniac:You're not the seller of the D-160 on ebay by any chance, are you?I am otherwise thinking I should take your advice and buy it... | |
| The Ferrari 288 GTO of ARC Tube Amps EdleI agree -- you are restating exactly my point.My question is -- what ARC power amp is worthy of similar praise? | |
| Nak 480 - worth buying? The Nak 480, while certainly not a bad machine, was one of their lowest common denominator decks. If it were a BMW, it would definitely be a 3 series, and I dont mean M3, more like 318i.With cassette decks as cheap as they are I would consider a m... | |
| Audio research M 300 mkII vs Classic 150 triode, Anyone know how M300 vs Classic 150 taste test might do with Magneplanar Tympani Iva's?Or biamped with a Levinson 23.5? | |
| Four days in London RivesWhen did you last dine in London? While true that the French and Indian foods are good, many critics now think the food is better than New York and/or Paris across a variety of cuisines. I think that is a bit of a stretch but it is very good ... | |
| Levinson 23.5 and Biamping Gurus? Cip57 --Are you saying that a 23.5 may be loud, but won't make the IVa's "sing" by on its own?Does those of you familiar with this strategy agree that biamping is a good idea but bridging is not?If I biamp, are there recommnedations for a second a... | |
| Levinson 23.5 and Biamping Gurus? What about "bi-amping" with matching ML 23.5 amps? Didn't mean to further confuse the issue with SS and tubes etc, but basically wanted info on the benefit of using two amps with Tympanis. | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em Dealers would never push what they sell and trash the competition, would they?Other than that, I would say that some find the voodoo boxes and arrows indicating the preferred direction of electron flow a little suspect.Nonetheless, mine sound fine... | |
| Apogee Mini Grand Questions Why? Because all else being equal, a "mega beast" even at lower volumes will peform more fluidly and effortlessly than a less powerful amp.Like RAM in your computer and HP in your car, there is never too much power. |
