Your Favorate JBL's from the 70's
I still have my 4311's that I bought when I was an enlisted GI in Germany for $500 in 1977. I only made $3K/month (pre tax), so that was major dough. I've been carrying them around with me since then. Steve Perry and Journey blew out a tweeter in ... 
Anyone heard AES/Cary Sixpac monos?
Yes. Now I can say I've heard them. And I'm in love. I will never have anything other than tubes. 
I'm so confused....
Okay. So after a long hiatus, check in time. Oh how a few weeks can change our worlds. I got the Jolida, and am about to get an Audio Note 2.1x balanced DAC, so the Jolida will move to the back of the class as a transport only. I tossed the NAD an... 
Tube substitution chart on the Net?
That was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. 
any noisefree wireless headphones?
I recently test drove the Sennheiser top-o-the-line wireless. (I don't do well with model numbers.) No white noise but horrible distortion on all three pairs I tried. Too much dough for that sort of garbage IMHO. 
Anyone heard AES/Cary Sixpac monos?
I just ordered a pair. They should be here Friday. I'll let you know next week if I remember. 
TT interconnects and power cords
I'm not unhappy with it at all that I know of, although I'm sure that if I stick around here long enough someone will start to make me think that I am or should be. You're right, anything more than changing the mat or counterweight is not likely a... 
TT interconnects and power cords
Thanks jfrech and Twl. And I'm not "worried" about anything; I was wondering what the groupthink is on this subject 'sall. I read about folks round these parts taking a perfectly good 5K CDP and tweaking it to the point of being unrecognizable in ... 
Which artists do you just not get?
I know. Strange. But I find them very gimmicky and a bit too clever for what I think their level of talent can handle. Sort of like Foreigner trying to play Pink Floyd or Steely Dan. I wish I did like 'em, because it would make my social life easi... 
Which artists do you just not get?
Great thread.I don't get:Dave MatthewsPhishLyle LovettAnd I'm a hardcore Deadhead, someone who's "supposed" to like all three of the above. Yes, the Dead I got. Big time, but not really before I saw them live (Colt Park, 1975). Someone above noted... 
I'm so confused....
Thank you, but I omitted some info. The boombox comment was facetious. I have just replaced a Nakamichi receiver with an NAD 370, and my well loved, and well worn 25 year old JBL 4311 studio monitors with a pair of Kef RDM 3's. The CD that I'm loo...
