| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries I have lots to say! I like almost every kind of music. I thought I would try out some classical. Back when I thought I had a good stereo. Definitely passable. Always had a nice sized room. I as a member of BMG CD service. I could get them fo... | |
| Old SS amps Might not have all the numbers straight but I like the 74ish Marantz 2035. 2135? Cat Steven's,! I didn't like Sansui, Kenwood, Pioneer but could be mixed up. Magnapans were too much for Ampzilla, Quattre. I believe we settled on SAE. We ha... | |
| Your first concert was to see who and when? Iowa State Fair 1975 Santana, Fleetwood Mac, Head East. Pretty much a day of it, back when bands just played and didn't worry about how long. | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries I realized something the other day. I have always listened to music. I had a system but just no attention to details. Now I have mostly newer equipment and Qobuz. I hear things in songs that were a surprise to me. So many more details and bet... | |
| Tannoy or Volti I have the XA25 with horns after 5 years, I have everything sounding pretty good. But I am used to it I guess. I go way back, almost. Advents, etc Here is what I've heard myself and read. I assume other models would have a similar sound signa... | |
| Tannoy or Volti It's nice to have a full complement of amps. Klipsch is or has upgrading the LaScala and Klipschorns. The changes look very positive. Otherwise Volti Rival. I am told the Tannoy has a very warm sound. I only heard a smaller one, Cheviot or ... | |
| How old is too old? Buy a streamer. It can sound better. There are less repairman and less parts than ever. For 3k you can surpass your Sacd | |
| Seeking horn array loudspeakers with a maximum price of $17,500.00 per pair. There is a new update coming for Klipschorns or LaScalas. Those would be serious contenders. The Bryston is just wrong for the speaker direction you want. I would sell that. $3 to $5k will get you a nice tube amp or small Class A solid state. ... | |
| Great recordings with great harmonies from 1960s Back when people actually had to s I ng without something enhancing or changing. In no order. Beatles, temptations, delphonics, CSNY, Fleetwood Mac so many. | |
| Darko nailed it. 12 examples of wishful thinking in the hi-fi community I felt much of it is those who care or understand audio and those who don't. | |
| Any modern rock recommendations? There is more music than ever. Local artists here are even on the streaming services. I am not sure when you got behind on music but here are some. Jack White or White Stripes. One of the current best guitarists. Racquanteurs is his other band ... | |
| Pass Labs XA-25 vs XA-30.8 amplifier I purchased efficient speakers so I had flexibility with my amp purchase. I have the XA25 running through a Khozmo preamp into the Crites speakers, which are Klipsch clones. The amp is very pleasant and neutral. Very good bass. Build quality su... | |
| Speakers for 2nd System! Check out Fritz. Handbuilt. You will have enough for nice stands. He has options, custom and home auditions. Easy to drive. He shows impedence and phase curves to prove it. This would have been my second choice when I purchased speakers. A ... | |
| Best amplification for Magico S3 newer version on your experience As my friend used to say,"You need an amp you can't pick up" Pass Labs, Ayre, Boulder are a few. Atmosphere make a hybrid that got good reviews. Not sure their tube amps are big enough, but i just saw a used one for sale. I thought tube amps d... | |
| What happened to Yamaha electronics? Friend had a Yamaha CA1000, I preferred my Sony V-fet. That was quite a while ago. |
