| Wood for a rack Careful about that door really being solid mahogany. I had some 1930’s doors that I thought were solid Cuban mahogany due to their weight and age, however, once I cut into it, they turned out to be pine covered by a very thick mahogany veneer. Her... | |
| cassettes CAN sound better than vinyl. I used to record all my just-brought albums with a Nak and Maxell/TDK tape. Luckily I worked in an audio/record store at the time so could afford to do that. Although I could not say they sounded better then the LP, it was very close and great for... | |
| Is improvisational jazz to impressionism art as smooth jazz is to realism art? @yuviarora I am replying in public because I never pointed anyone out, several people turned this thread into a political view, not just you, and nothing in my post was political. And then you went and insulted me. Why? I did look up the CIA and a... | |
| Is improvisational jazz to impressionism art as smooth jazz is to realism art? This was a great thread until someone ruined it with politics. And for no other reason then to point out his political view point -- which no one here cares about because this was a thread about jazz, music and art. And I was enjoying it. Some rea... | |
| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) I am familiar with your Nak 5 disc CD player. The multiple disk was a nice feature, but it was not near as good as their Tape Decks, but the name sold it. If you want to keep playing your CD's, I would suggest getting a CD transport and feed it in... | |
| Is improvisational jazz to impressionism art as smooth jazz is to realism art? I totally get what you are saying. For instance, I like some Miles, but then I get lost in some of his free-form. I can appreciate what he is doing, but after one or two of his more improvisional stuff, I start to have trouble following it. My opi... | |
| NO listening sessions posible , bookshelf for a Raven Nighthawk I also have to put speakers on a book shelf, I went with Harbeth for the front port and very neutral sound. A bit boring to look at however. KEF would be another good choice which I have owned. I have heard the Sonus Faber and liked it quite a bit... | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO I just upgraded to a JL, heard most of the brands in this thread. The thing that won me over was their DSP, they are built like tanks and weight just as much. Solid. But I wouldn’t have minded a Rel or Martin Logan, I brought before the new KEFs c... | |
| Please Suggest Approaches to Perceived System Darkening Did you blow a tweeter? I had the opposite issue, my system seemed to get a little shrill and the music seemed thinner. Turned out my wife had put a small rip in the speaker of my sub woofer with the vacuum cleaner and didn’t tell me…although it d... | |
| Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)? Nakamichi Tape deck and AR turntable. Both made amazing improvements. | |
| APPLE PHONES.......NO SERVICE Totally Fake. Why would anyone go to a audio blog to annoy people about their phone not working that they brought off the back of a truck? This whole thread should be deleted. Maybe if I mention Rap Music one of the admins will delete it like they... | |
| Is it worth it to add a music server just for FLAC files? I own a Bluesound Vault2, it’s basically what you have in one package with a DAC and a really nice user interface, in my option much better the Mconnect. My personal opinion is, I love my Bluesound vault, and I use an outboard DAc with it now, but... | |
| Demos - To Charge a Fee or to Not Charge a Fee? I worked in several audios stores, there’s been looks-looks forever, yes I am sure it’s gotten worse, but even knowing how hard it is to be a store owner and a salesman, I would walk out if someone said pay me upfront. In fact in the city I live i... | |
| Looking to buy bookshelf/monitor speakers I owned the Totem Rainmakers for years, excellent bookshelf speakers, the newer versions like the Sky are even better. | |
| Integrated / speaker pairings in the $6-7K range Luxman and Harbeth (you can find other threads on this combo), Totem and NAD was a nice setup for me, but you cannot compare the two systems in the way they sound. Totally, totally different. So I totally agree with SOIX4 |
