| What is going on The status quo is demo gear >33% off retail and used gear >50% off. There are always exceptions when regarding supply/demand. | |
| Some irrefutable truths about rock and roll One doesn't need to have great vocal or instrumental skills to make a great RNR recording. "Brown Sugar" by the Stones comes to mind. | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers Mrschret-I don't think most of us are reminiscing. Many of the companies mentioned were top performers at there price points. Not sure if Acoustat was mentioned but they were a top player in planar speakers, and also made a great power amp. Need t... | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers VSP Labs-Relatively affordable amps that were a big improvement over Adcom and most other entry level amps. Was planning to replace my Amber Series 70 with a Trans Mos 150. Has it been 25 years? Yikes! | |
| Yamaha Amp Nostalgia I have stated several times on "Agon" that the Yamaha MX1(92-97) is the best sounding budget amp i've heard! | |
| Mini-monitors $5,000 - $10,000 Dynaudio C1 is known to have synergy with Simaudio. Also look into the Lenehan Audio ML 1 Reference. | |
| Which usual suspect TT in $1500 range. IMO the best sound for $1500 would be a used Rega P7. Of the new tables mentioned I would go with the Clearaudio Concept. | |
| What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam? Budburma-I'm just enjoying the banter! The 2 HiDiamond P3's I just purchased have made substantial improvements. When I upgrade my electronics/speakers a HiDiamond P4 will be at the top of my list. | |
| Recommend an "adiophile worthy" pen? A Pilot G2 Limited is a great everyday pen. Very fluid ink delivery with a good hand feel, all for around $12! Have always liked the Caran d'Ache-Metwood, reminds me of an upper level Clearaudio deck. | |
| What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam? Have added 2 HiDiamond P3 cords to my system. Both are in wall, one on the Valve Audio Predator the other on my RSA Elgar. The results are what I have wanted with midrange clarity/detail being the largest improvements. As others have stated in thi... | |
| Any good FM tuners around for less than $200? Might be able to find a NAD S400 if you want a "newer" tuner. | |
| Seeking some guidance on Sinatra Rpeluso-The OP asked for our opinions not you! | |
| Seeking some guidance on Sinatra Sinatra at the Sands is one of his best. Some of his later Capitol releases are overlooked with Nice 'n' Easy being the best. Ol' Blue Eyes is Back(73') IMO is his last worthy studio recording, even if it's a little schmaltzy. | |
| So......what do you use under your speakers? Another vote for Symposium. I'm using the entry level Segue platforms with Herbie's spike decoupling/gliders under my Focus Audio FS8's. The results are better bass definition and a more focused soundstage. | |
| B&W 803d and Luxman L-505ux Don't sell yourself short... there is no foolproof method in amp/speaker synergy! IMO the 803D is probably the best $$$/performance B&W model, although I have not heard the CM10. The Luxman 505ux IMO would fall short in power/current and resol... |
