| Bob Dylan sells his complete songwriting catalog! Can't blame him for selling at his age, he can enjoy the money and hopefully give some to charities and do some good right about now. The only sad part is they'll be used for commercials for Viagra (I shall be Released? The Man in Me?) or dusting ... | |
| Hafler DH-100 - what should this should this sound like? Enjoy it! I did for many years. In some ways I miss it still. Damn, now I gotta play some blues to cheer me up. Take care. | |
| Hafler DH-100 - what should this should this sound like? I owned one a long ago with a B&K 200 watt amp, KEF bookshelf speakers and a sub-woofer. It never sounded bass heavy or muffled. If I had to remember how it sounded, I would say neutral tending toward bright, as the sound through the B&K w... | |
| Need some advice. Trying to help a neighbor in need..... I would suggest contacting an Estate Dealer or two, although it's not a full Estate, it's enough value. They have the contacts to price everything and find buyers. Yes, they will take their cut, but you know, think of the trouble and effort to pri... | |
| The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation I didn't realize that my original post would generate so much discussion. I'm glad. Although I was thinking to respond directly to several posts, I think I'll just add a few extra thoughts:1) I could have expanded on the comparing the cost between... | |
| Vintage equipment sounds awesome I had a B&K system, AR TT with a Grado, Nak tape deck, with Advents. Had it for years, sold it years ago to get a surround sound 5.1, which was a big mistake. I'd probably would have upgraded the speakers by now, but overall, that was a nice s... | |
| Audiophile metal albums Ghost - Prequelle, great album no matter what. I consider that metal. Lots of styles of Metal. Millercarbon, expand your musical horizons! I'm not heavy into metal, I have to be in the right (wrong?) mood, but Ghost is a very talented musician. | |
| New speakers. New room. Lovely home. Enjoy! | |
| A couple of headphone needs, Depends on cheap is right. I like open-ear headphones like the Grado's, $125 to $2000. You might like them too since he'll be able to hear you or your wife yelling for him! But they lack the deep heavy bass kids (and others!) go for. My son has be... | |
| Bluesound Vault Restore from Backup @llarry You are right, I do have it backed up, twice in fact. But when I wanted to reuse the first backup drive, it turns out you can’t reuse them. So basically I’m going to either end up with multiple backups on multiple drives or see what happen... | |
| What power amp or integrated amp are you using with your Harbeth speakers @lak what subs did you get? Looking to add a sub to my 30.2’s, obviously different speakers, but still the harbeth sound and I want something that would be a good match for their voicing. Also, are you using line or the second set of speaker outpu... | |
| Bluesound Vault Restore from Backup I have not needed to back up, hopefully never. But I did find out that their backup software uses a type of Unix, so the backup drive cannot be copied to another drive or PC. So you actually don’t have a backup that is useful for anything else but... | |
| Luxman 590axii vs Pass Labs int 60 I compared the two and they both had The warm, class A clean sound I wanted without dealing with tubes. I would have been happy with either. Went with the Luxman for the extra features, A & B speakers, the headphone input, the MC input and the... | |
| What are your thoughts on the "Edsels" of the audio history? @ericsch wow did your post mentioning soundcraftman EQ bring back memories. I used to sell them and also sold these 2-300 watt per channel soundcraftman amps and Sold them with Cerwin Vegas with 15 inch woofers. Led Zepplin, Molly Hatchet, AC-DC... | |
| What power amp or integrated amp are you using with your Harbeth speakers @ghulamr It took me a long time to save up and I also had to trade in some equipment. But it's something I won't need to upgrade or replace for many, many years. I wish you the best of luck in getting one. |
