| Speakers that turn your analytical mind off? I can't speak for the OP but I assume he means not doing a speaker critique and just being able to focus on the music. For me ATC/Focal/KEF Reference/Spendor and even my Focus Audio FS8(to some degree)are box speakers(heard several models multiple... | |
| Help for my return to vinyl -- $2K rig. Look for a late model Rega P9(RB1000). Ask any P9 owner(included)and they will tell you a used P9($2500?) is impossible to better. The RB1000 tonearm will due justice for a mid-level Koetsu. Not many(if any)$2500 decks can pull that off! | |
| Emotiva Tube Amplifiers Coming In February The Emotiva fanboys will have another man-made deity to worship! I foresee an irrational and dangerous audio cult forming but there could be a solution...have all Emotiva owners ear wax removed and have a hearing and mental evaluation administered... | |
| floor-stander speaker for "classical" I heard the Rega RS3 being powered by the Elicit with the Apollo as the source. The results were very disappointing... 2 dimensional/no bass/small scale/poor resolution/detail and lack of engagement. I asked the dealer if the speakers were "broke ... | |
| First foray into Class A amp -- recommendations Pani-Finding a used Symphonic RG7 could prove difficult. The current MK4 version sells for 8000 Euros, could a used RG7 even be had for under $3k? | |
| First foray into Class A amp -- recommendations <3k for a Class A amp doesn't leave you with many options. As always be careful buying used especially with an older(20+ years) amp. My suggestion would be a Krell KSA 80. It has been claimed by many to be one of the "best" sounding of the olde... | |
| Rockwell: audiophile term "just like a pedophile" Ebm-You nailed it(this time). My disappointment comes from some members that agree or justify this a**clowns analogy! | |
| Rockwell: audiophile term "just like a pedophile" Jafant-A very disturbing post. There is nothing funny about children being abused. Comparing an audiophile with that form of mental illness is absurd! | |
| Why aren't Rush fans more audiophile-natured? 2112-3x platinum and Moving Pictures-4x platinum are the most "commercial" releases by Rush. There "keyboard" based recordings never went multi-platinum. | |
| Returned to Albums/ Vinyl after 30 years Congrats on getting back to vinyl!!! When purchasing used your better off paying a little for a lot. I have had on several occasions where a sealed(nos)was warped. Unless it's a highly prized recording or a must have never over pay! | |
| Focal micro utopia be VS Dynaudio C1 Nvp-Great post! | |
| Replacement for Monitor Audio RX6 If you are considering a preamp, consider a new($1495) Onkyo 3000 reference series. Comments have been very positive regarding the entire Onkyo reference series components. I would hold off on new speakers. With the preamp being the strongest link... | |
| Audiophile music The Knack-Get the Knack(first pressing)is a very good recording especially in the bass region. There is more then enough well recorded music(all genres)to last several lifetimes(lol). Don't obsess over a few poorly recorded favorites of yours, we ... | |
| LFD Integrated - Please talk me out of buying one Save some money and look for a Sonneteer Orton. Many claim it has "tube like" qualities. It appears well made and it might even sound better then the over hyped LFD? | |
| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? Several others posted "Jackie Blue" but since OMD had fairly strong LP sales I thought they just might have another top 40 hit. "If You Wanna Get To Heaven" off the first(ST) LP hit #25 on the Billboard Hot 100. Here is my top 10 1 hit wonder(no o... |
