| Integrated Recommendation Mdooty-If you like the hybrid option consider a 2nd hand Valve Audio-Predator. I own one and trust me it has plenty of watts/current. The Predator is very neutral, tube rolling can help dial it in with your speakers. The only major weakness(have n... | |
| Underated bands that shouldn't be........... Tesla-The combination of musical and songwriting skills were unmatched by any hard rock/metal band from the mid 80's-early 90's. Song and Emotion ranks as one of the best "forgotten" all time great rock songs. Tesla wasn't just limited to a few gr... | |
| The best CD Player for the money North Star Design-Sapphire. No longer in production but I assume $1k could get you a near mint one. The Sapphire just gets out of the way of the music. If you want a new player look into several Audio Analogue models or even the Chinese made Lite ... | |
| Are We Talking CDs And CDPs Out Of Existence? The better question is has the CD format(software/hardware) reached it's peak potential? I don't know! I do know that serious CA has only about 5 years under it's belt. It might take another 10 years for CA to near it's potential. IMO if you curre... | |
| Is a hairbrush available? Secret Asian Man? | |
| Sexiest Pop Song Ever? Captain & Tennille-Deep In The Dark-Toni was in peak vocal form on a recording that approaches reference level sound quality! | |
| Racks: Box Funriture vs Sistrum Contact Eugene Hi-Fi regarding Box Funiture. You might get a sales pitch but they were very passionate about the quality when I called. The cost was a little over my budget so I made a compromise and bought a Solid Tech Radius Duo 2 rack. | |
| What cartridge do I get now? With your tube based system and Spendor/Quad speakers an upper level Audio Technica cartridge will bring added speed/detail/engagement. Another plus is very little coloration is added. | |
| Starter System Suggestions For $2k that includes an int. amp and speakers your godson(or you) need to lower your standards/expectations. Currently the Gershman Sonogram retails for $5495(lol). For $2k or a little over that amount get a Magnepan MMG or used ATC 7/11 with a n... | |
| What is your DESERT ISLAND amp & speaker combo? The Professor to keep me alive and Mary Ann to keep me happy! | |
| Soundlab speakers The Soundlab A3 which I heard at Great Lakes Audio(E. Lansing MI)in 1988 still ranks as the best speaker i've heard! | |
| Voice In the Rain... Not normally a fan of "smooth jazz", but Joe Sample IMO is at the top of this genre. The 1979 release "Carmel" is not just a great fusion/pop jazz recording, it's a great jazz recording with excellent sound quality. Will check out "Voice in the Ra... | |
| Norah Jones I agree with most of the posts. I don't own any Norah Jones recordings but her first two recordings are worthy of purchasing. Regarding the haters most of us know she is not the talent of Sarah, Peggy, Anita or Ella. I'm sure some of you have reco... | |
| Turntable recommendation Rega-P9/RB1000-Compact and easy to set up. The RB1000 is good enough for many cartridge upgrades. Will hold it's resale value. | |
| Upgrade: Turntable or Cartridge? Upgrade your cartridge first. When your ready to upgrade your TT put the Clearaudio Ovation at the top of your list. |
