| Hey - What Happened to the Beware of Viking Acoustics Thread @woodsage is 100% correct. I have no connection to either the company or the OP. But you make it right with your customers or you go out of business. Just as customers (current, past and future) have the choice not to do business with you, you hav... | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? The one I'm listening to right now. In a few minutes, it'll also be the one I am listening to right now. | |
| Any tricks to remove drivers from a (sticky) cabinet Some manufacturers use a type of Goop/non-hardening sealant material to make the speaker secure and also prevent air/sound from going around the speaker. In my past experience, the best I could do was using a small-wide screw driver and a firm pu... | |
| Bruckner’s 9th and movie scores - connection? @edcyn Yes, you are right about public domain, but I’ve never heard a Beethoven, Mozart or even a Bach variation in a movie theme. With Bruckner, in just the 7th alone I hear multiple movie theme’s. I will listen to the 4th and let you know what... | |
| Hegel Music Systems H390 Integrated Amp Glad to hear how happy you are. I thought the Hegel sounded great when I went looking for an integrated. I did end up with the Luxman 590AXII but only because I liked some of their added features and felt the sound was at or very near par with the... | |
| John Hurlbut & Jorma Kaukonen - "The River Flows" I got both. I didn’t even know there was a volume 2 but saw it when I pulled vol 1 out of the bin. Had to get both of course. | |
| Advice from Audiogon family - best speaker $3k-$4k Same question as @soix , I would add that McIntosh has been known to sound very good with B&W's, a friend has that setup and it's a nice match up, so if you can, take a listen to some B&W's. Sonus Faber has a very good reputation,so nothin... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media @bkeske I understand where you are coming from, so here's my whole, long story: I started with records in the 1970's and had maybe 400-500 of them. I would use the Allman Brothers double album to pick the seeds out of my stash while it played...... | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding I don't see any direct references to Dreampop or Shoegaze singers or bands. I am sure a lot of folks here can't stand either genre. I personally like Dreampop, and some of the shoegaze folks. How about Frank Sinatra? I get he has an amazing voice... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media Unless you have a large number of CD's, or very rare music on CD (which is doubtful), I'd go just with streaming and not spend it on a CD player. I myself did have a large number of CD's (600+) and went with a Bluesound Vault and burnt them to the... | |
| Aurender N100 or X100? I have the Aurrender N200, I love it. My understanding of using an external HDD is that the Aurrender app will not see those files, you have to use the file folders function. I suggest a call to Aurender to confirm, their help desk is great. All t... | |
| Hey - What Happened to the Beware of Viking Acoustics Thread Thank you @nonoise , I would not have been as polite. Well said. | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding I’ll jump in on an interesting thread. I didn’t get the Grateful Dead, hated the Europe 72 album as my roommate played it again and again. But a year later it was my favorite. Also, I am from New Jersey (don’t hold that against me) originally, and... | |
| non-high end collectables, radios..etc. I restored an old table-top tube radio that was from around the 1930’s, beautiful wood cabinet. Lots of fun to show off and play, but eventually sold it to a collector as it become a dust collector. Did sound nice. | |
| Burmester 061 or Aurender N10? I have the Aurender N200 with a PS Audio DAC. One major benefit is that I can upgrade the DAC and improve the sound. Which is why I avoided any server/streamer with a built in DAC. Much like folks who go with a separate pre and amp rather then an ... |
