| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: NRBQ rocks. Really fun band. | |
| Listening to digital and analog @millercarbon “Propofol is also reported to induce priapism in some individuals” Wikipedia - two benefits in one. | |
| The Luxman L-595A SE integrated is coming. I wonder if they'll do something similar to what Harbeth did with the 30.1 Anniversary - Harbeth turned it intothe production version 30.2...following that logic, perhaps Luxman will, if the 595a is successful, turn it into the 590AXIII?Hell, if I... | |
| Streamer Advice / Recommendation for Denafrips R2R DAC I have to agree with @soix3 - I had a highly rated Denon AVR and although I am sure yours sounds better with the Rotel amp. I've owned Rotel in the past and always though they sounded good. But when I replaced it with a Luxman the sound improveme... | |
| Integrated amp recommendations for harbeth 30.2 XD @newton It’s been two months Newton, what did you get? How does it sound? | |
| B&K ST-140 amplifier buying decision I owned the early version of the 140 with 70 watts a side, it was a great amp, slightly warm/tube sounding but not mushy. I Agee with tooblue, $3-400 already recapped would be fine. It is 20+ years old easily if not 30, and B&K went out of bu... | |
| Music for setting up speakers @millercarbonThat Yello video was like Stan Lee meets the Teletubbies and Monty Python on acid.As for the OP, I have always found using a quartet for classical, or something recorded live in a small venue to be a good starting point. Might not be ... | |
| CD Ripper Ethernet conundrum Thanks recluse, although the repeater I have is working well for me, I'm going to try a bridge for a more stable, and perhaps better sounding solution. | |
| Recapturing my youth @tweak1 " ........are both big and heavy........if they are not properly boxed and palleted, you can be in for a rude awakening"I assume this description matched your later hook up also? I did the same thing once, yes, big mistake. | |
| Recapturing my youth I actually had the A-40’s in my basement workshop for years. When I upgraded my old system, I replaced the A-40’s with the Bookshelf Totems (they are about 5 year old models) I had. The improvement was huge, and this is just a second system I list... | |
| Do you have a "Music" Friend? I might have found a friend! My wife made me go over her friends house for wine and cheese. Oy. Turns out her friend’s husband has a nice new Mcintosh/B&W system, with a turntable even! Definitely having wine and cheese with them again. | |
| Come on up to the House - Women Sing Tom Waits @middlemass. Ha! And they also chew gravel while they sing. Waits is the musical version of Bukowski. So Check it out and tell us what you think of their interpretations. | |
| Help buying first analog rig - Clearaudio Concept or Rega P6 I own the Rega 6, but it was a tossup with the Concept. Musichall was also in there. I would also suggest you go with the one you like the looks of the best. VTA is a nice extra. Didn’t impact my choice. I would add for you to go with the MC. This... | |
| Your favorite audio cartoons Those are great! Thanks for sharing. Rodriguez and Mad magazines, I had a nice collection of them a long time ago. | |
| The Luxman L-595A SE integrated is coming. I have the 590AXII and see no reason to go to this one. If they they had done a 50 watt maybe, but even then it’s not attractive at all. I’ll wait for the 100 anniversary, hopefully I’ll be around! |
