| Revel Ultima Studio 2?? You need to upgrade your electronics before thinking about a near reference level loudspeaker. | |
| Speakers to audition at AXPONA 2015 You might not need to spend $5k-$7k. The Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 with a wood finish retails for $4k. The extra $3k would be well spent on improving(if needed) electronics/cables/room acoustics/vibration control or power conditioning. | |
| Rega rp8 vs Project extension 10 I was considering a Pro-Ject Extension 10 but the "wall wart" as a power supply and the tonearm was(is?) very sensitive to microphonics were deal breakers. I ended up buying a 1 owner Rega P9/RB1000 and currently very satisfied. With the Rega RP8 ... | |
| Plinius SA301 Or Bryston 4bsst2? I've heard a Bryston 4B SST driving a Thiel 2.3 and i'm 99%+ sure it was a very poor match! | |
| Best recorded rock song ? Gpgr4blu-No need to be ashamed. Even if pop 70's-80's R&B is not near the top(for good reason) of the "audio food chain" many examples are well recorded. "Juicy Fruit" by Mtume sounds as clean/tight/focused and open as anything Becker & Fa... | |
| Favorite phono stage in the $500-$800 range? If you want tubes a used Allnic H-1200 is tough to beat. I'm running a Rega P9/RB1000-AT-OC9mk2/Allnic H-1200, this set up is stellar when regarding price/performance ratio. On the SS side the Linn Linto(used) just sounds right even if it lacks fl... | |
| Total cost of ownership - how to reduce it I would never pay for updates from a manufacturer. Add the shipping costs, possible damage and the down time without equipment. Even after the updates doesn't guarantee it will equal the sound quality of the current model. | |
| Doug Sax RIP Just listened to The Motels-All Four One on vinyl for the first time last night. To my surprise it's a near reference level recording, NOT surprised the recording/mastering engineer was Doug Sax! | |
| Rolling Stones Tour 2015 Complete waste of time! You get a pity pass if your a baby boomer and want to revisit the past. Just have the courage and honesty to admit the performance level is mediocre at best. | |
| What music do you want to play really loud? Megadeth-Hangar 18! One of the great(pure)heavy metal songs!!! | |
| Best Integrated, period. Has anyone heard the Constellation Audio-Argo? | |
| Great Organists in Rock Chayro-Your spot on!!! Floyd Sneed was also a world class musician that gets overlooked by many. I was too young at the time to appreciate the talent and diversity of Three Dog Night. I have recently delved into the discography and realize they ar... | |
| Great Organists in Rock RIP-Jimmy Greenspoon | |
| Who do you credit for your love of mucic? I would have to give my mother the most credit. With Sinatra-Bennett-Mathis-Warwick and various classical and show tunes being played helped create a diverse interest in music. Even with my ear glued to "THE BIG 8" I understood there were other fo... | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? HiDiamond Cables are definitely NOT in the "yawn category". I have tried several power cords and the P3 is clearly one of the best values in all of HEA. Other then a dedicated line this is the best $750(2/used P3's)I have spent. The time is now fo... |
