| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... The River might be the equal of Born To Run? Point Blank is one of his best! | |
| Songs that Inspire or Move you Too many to list! Here are 2 songs that I just recently "spun" that are completely at opposite ends of the spectrum.Don McLean-The GraveChuck Mangione-Land of Make Believe(Esther Satterfield) | |
| Snobbiest audio websites Believe it or not IMO the snob factor is disappearing in HEA. In the past 5 years after the great recession(2007-10) the mega-buck guys(100k+ systems) that remain are in HEA more for the music then bragging rights. To answer the question... I woul... | |
| Clayton Audio - Alive and very well Audiobrian-Thx for the info! The S40/S100 is now on a short list of possible amp upgrades. | |
| Clayton Audio - Alive and very well I have always considered Clayton Audio(heard a S40 many years ago) as a great left field option. But there have been numerous reports(not everyone lies) about a very audible transformer hum. I hope this issue has been resolved so Clayton Audio can... | |
| looking for a new cd player........ Zd1542-There are some nice sounding Sony ES units from the mid 90's - early 2000's too many models(to long ago) for me to be specific. With a budget of $500 the options for a true hi-end player are very limited. I have NOT heard the Rotel 1072 it ... | |
| looking for a new cd player........ Kennesawjet- At $500 look for the best(sound/condition) Sony ES player regardless of age. It might take some time but $500 might be enough to find a working mint Proceed or EAD player? | |
| looking for a new cd player........ If cost is a major factor search for a used North Star-Sapphire. Your comments have me believe you want to stay away from a soft-hazy/lazy type of CDP. The Sapphire has excellent deep tight bass control, fast dynamics and enough detail without giv... | |
| Rotel seperates to Anthem integrated 225? I have read many posts from owners that claim the Anthem 225 is a "paper lion"! I have not heard the unit but this raises a huge red flag. If you need a lot of power/current look into a Valve Audio Predator(my amp) far from perfect but better then... | |
| Well recorded solo piano and solo acoustic guitar? I agree with Slaw3! Liz Story-Solid Colors. Might not be the best solo piano recording out there but the sound/performance aspect is tough to beat. Her composition Peace Piece(tribute to Bill Evans)is flawless! | |
| Most suitable and effective isolation platform First off congrats on owning a great deck! I would avoid any platform that robs you of dynamics, speed and presence, sometimes less is more. HRS and Symposium make great straight forward products without completely "breaking the bank". | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Steely Dan/Elvis Costello-DTE-7/27. Elvis Costello and the Imposters were in top and cohesive form. At nearly 61 Elvis can still hit some high notes and deliver that "power pop" energy, great 1 hour show! Steely Dan IMO is on it's last leg(peg-lol... | |
| a first integrated amp to build a system around Speakers are the key at this level. I would consider the Magnepan MMG(new or used) or the Silverline Prelude(used). Look(might take some time) for a used NAD S300 or a Classe 151. Both these amps are of high(build/sound) quality even if there 10+ ... | |
| How NOT to sell an item on Audiogon Sounds like an Emotiva sales pitch! The truth is the only missing link. | |
| Is ARC Updating/Discontinuing the DSi200? I heard an early version of the ARC DSi200 driving a Magnepan 1.7 with an Ayre cdp as the source using all Kimber Kables, no power filtering or conditioning was present. To say I was disappointed is a huge understatement! Might have been the worst... |
