| Any luv for Bunny Wailer? Lit one up in his honor. | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? This might shock a few folks but it was a Van Morrison show in New Jersey in the late 80’s, he played a medley of his songs for an hour, he’d start a song, sing a line or two, then roll into another one, it was clear the songs that had meant a lot... | |
| Digital vs 8 Track Playing a third or fourth generation 8 Track (on a Craig of course) of a live Dead concert while driving to a Dead concert. What on Earth could sound better then that? 8 Tracks rule. Ummm, what year is this again? | |
| Newbie question @millercarbon 2500kw!! To paraphrase an old trope, “it’s the first (couple of thousand) watts that are most important.... | |
| Upgrade Bluesound DAC or go to Aurrender? Yes, may not be a great question, but it’s mine! Thanks. One vote for new DAC. | |
| Newbie question Yeah, 2,500 watts with the right speakers will make your ears bleed and you’ll be half-deaf in no time. That said, @reubent is 100% correct. An out of date receiver is not the best way to go. If you are trying to add to power your current receiver... | |
| Harbeth M30 I have the 30.2 and driving them with the Luxman 590AXii. The class A is such a nice match with the Harbeths. I can listen all day to any type of music, I have a very wide taste in music, and enjoy them with every type. | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh I had Mcintosh separates for years, I switched to the Luxman 590AXII last year and have never looked back. Loudness/tone controls work very well when needed, but they can also be by-passed. You can also use the 590 as a pre, although that defeats ... | |
| 590axii in the house I own the 590axii about a year now, and went from Totem bookshelves which I enjoyed, to the Harbeth 30.2, big improvement, clear and clean, but still with a nice touch of warmth with lushness. I Listen for hours. Enjoy. Let us know what you ended ... | |
| Is this still as important? @Millercarbon - well, then stop driving on roads, drinking water from your faucet, don't call 911 for the police or an ambulance, don't worry about doctors being licensed. Rip out your smoke detectors and seat belts. I believe you like to fish - w... | |
| Bookshelf speakers for small room @labelman @goldprintaudio Goldprintaudio mentioned the Rega P6, which I have and love. You can go down one step to the P3 and have more money for a better DAC, really depends on what do you listen more, and more closely to, records or digital. Man... | |
| Optimizing HT setup for Analog: Where to begin? The problem most likely is you are using an AVR - at least that is my own experience. I spent good money going from a highly rated Denon AVR receiver to separate Mcintosh and Lexicon HT equipment, with various speaker changes, trying to get it. It... | |
| Bookshelf speakers for small room The P3's are great at any volume, I have the larger Harbeth 30.2's and play them softly most of the time, they still sound wonderful at low volume. Go back and have the dealer play music you like at a lower volume. One thing I did was buy an integ... | |
| Which Cartridge/TT to buy - Ortofon MM Black, Rega Exact, Rega Ania? I have a Rega Planar 6 with the Ania MC, using a Luxman Integrated (so it's somewhat similar in sound to your Yamaha.) It's a very nice match up and you are in the right ballpark. I had bookshelf KEF's and really enjoyed them, but I would say they... | |
| Artists you feel you can rely on, buy any new album unheard. Ryan Adams was canceled by himself: Reports of Adams' alleged sexual misconduct and psychological abuse were first documented and published in February 2019. Several prominent musicians went on record about Adams' misconduct, including Adams' ex-... |
