| Your Best Moment of Audio Exuberance Funny how nobody has mentioned listening to The Ring through an Audio Note Onagaku with Jadis speakers and Shun Mook products. | |
| anyone heard sony s9000es I have been thinking about chucking my CD gear for this machine and a new turntable, but this thread is pretty lukewarm. I thought I read in other threads (maybe another site?) that this component is the second coming -- amazing on everything even... | |
| Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio) Dear Khrys: Regarding your hobbies of "Sloth, gluttony, and lust" you might enjoy spending some time in London. Although the weather sucks, the food sucks, everything is overpriced and the people are a buch of xenophobic, yank hating, parochial wa... | |
| Best Zip Code for Perfect Life Dear Khrys: I have eaten at Smythes near the shomps e lee zay many times. And I love their French champagne!! But, for authentic English food, the curried Conch salad at Churchill's in Barbados is definitely the best. ...I can also trash London wi... | |
| Best Zip Code for Perfect Life CFB, not to follow you off subject but I think you are absolutely right -- NYC, for all of its culture and world class bluster and bravado is a very money and career obsessed, American city. It is international from the perspective of its working ... | |
| Best Zip Code for Perfect Life Cornfedboy -- delighted you like my town more than you like my posts. I think London is the new center of the global village and universe and I am devastated to now be moving back to NYC after many years there. Despite my devotion to London, howev... | |
| High Fidelity Sex Objects OK OK OK. I was just trying to get your attention and show some sense of humour. And cornfedboy, I think you do actually get it. But on reflection your point about the Dragon was right -- it is a little plasticky. The 700 ZXL was quite sexy, howev... | |
| High Fidelity Sex Objects So I guess we have already descended into adolescent silliness. To give you a hint, I rarely listen to the radio or cassettes, but I lust for my Yamaha T-2 and Nakamichi Dragon. These components perform very well, but there is also something speci... | |
| Attention Audio Veterans ...this was definitely 1980-1981. It was my junior and senior year in high school and I worked part time and summers as an audio dealer and carried the line.....all "veteran" trivia questions welcomed!! | |
| Attention Audio Veterans The Mitsubishi LT-5V (?) was a somewhat "futuristic" linear tracking turntable that stood up vertically. I think the same design may have been marketed under a different brand. At the same time, Mitsubishi also sold a slightly beefier version with... | |
| Best Magneplanars Ever!? Great answers, thank you everyone. PikII, you could charge admission for demos. I'll bring you a bottle of Chateau Margaux if you're interested...Personally, I am soundstage obsessed, so the feedback on the Tympani is tantalizing. How about this -... | |
| Nakamichi Dragons worth the fix? What are you guys talking about? The Dragon, if I remember correctly, did not "flip". The flipping models were post Dragon and much cheesier. Maybe you are watching too many reruns of Micky Rourkes bachelor pad scene in nine and a half weeks? In a... | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables I thought we were talking about firehose sized cables..... | |
| New Sade Album Diamond life was fresh and authentic. Lovers Rock is dumbed down for the masses. Very, very boring. | |
| Keith Jarrett Trio Keith Jarrett is a God! I had heard his name for years through various inhaling and audiophile friends, but never tuned in. Then, when wandering around Florence in a quirky record store was mesmerized by "Facing You". Truly otherworldly and highly... |
