Whats on your turntable tonight? I discovered Jose James. Honest, never heard of him before. Now it’s been 2 hours non-stop discovering his music. A bit more to the R&B side which I never listen too then the blues, which is where I found him. Got a new favorite tonight. | |
During this isolation, I would be interested in suggestions of great movies you like. @whatjd Perhaps another thread on movies we like and probably shouldn't? The Core - completely ridiculous and I've watched it a dozen times and will do so again. | |
During this isolation, I would be interested in suggestions of great movies you like. The King of Hearts 1966. | |
Lexicon RV-6 I Owned a Lexicon MC-12 which I ran with a mcintosh amp. Great sound for movies, great surround-sound. Very poor for just listening to music in stereo. Ran very hot for a pre-amp. Hope this helps a bit. | |
unbeatable Class A integrated Oh and Class A is not over rated. Blows away every class D I’ve ever heard. Those Luxman 30 watts sound better then the 200 class D I had or previous ones I owned. Your mileage may vary but I am no push over on SQ. | |
unbeatable Class A integrated Replaced my mcintosh gear with a Luxman 590AXII and it was an incredible improvement. I could not be happier with the sound and the looks. The phono is both MM/MC, using a Hana MM right now and it’s a lovely combination The headphone amp is stunni... | |
Luxman 509 or McIntosh 8900 Probably too late to add but I lived with a Macintosh amp and preamp for many years, decided to finally upgrade and for various reasons went with the Luxman 590AXII and now wish I had replaced the Mac’s years ago. The Luxman is more detailed, warm... | |
Whats on your turntable tonight? MJQ - the complete Atlantic studio recordings | |
Strange Rivers Now Edcyn, as a certified Deadhead (I.e. attended dozens of concerts and don’t remember much about any of them), California Bloodlines is a great album. | |
Whats on your turntable tonight? Modern Jazz Quartet. Complete. | |
WAF -- I have always found a new purse smooths over everything. Especially an LV. And a $2,000 purse is just as justifiable as a $2000.00 interconnect. | |
Big source improvement using CD player I debated between getting another CD player when mine died and getting a Bluesound Vault. With good advice from a local audio store I went with the bluesound and never looked back. Loaded all my CD’s, buy them for $2 or so when I want something, c... | |
Most valuable LP First pressing of Beatles Rubbber Soul. It was my older sister that gave it to me when I was probably 10. Bkeskee, those old punk 45’s are always worth a few bucks. I have one The Plasmatics. Killer cover with typical 80’s punk songs. | |
Best debut album Lots of great ones already listed. I’ll add Steve Forbert Alive on Arrival. The tune “It isn’t going to be that way” hit me hard. | |
old high end preamps.. The original Hafler pre-amp was amazingly good. My first pre-amp brought with a HK amp first, then a B&K amp. |
