| 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. | |
| Headphone amps do sound different It’s the Luxman 590AXll, first Class A I’ve owned and It’s such a huge improvement over some old Mcintosh I had. Thanks soix... | |
| Strange Rivers Your welcome. Enjoy! | |
| Strange Rivers 90% of people only know John’s Hollywood Dreams song the....turning music into gold....I hear he hated that song and just did it to prove to his record company he could write a top10 song. I’m glad to meet folks that know his music beyond that. It... | |
| EVER FEEL LIKE A TOTAL NITWIT DISCOVERING AN ARTIST LATE IN THE GAME? I worked in a huge record store (remember those) In the 1980’s, young guy around 15 comes up to me holding a Janis Joplin album and says “ I have all the albums you carry already. Don’t you any newer albums by her?” I said “that’s the last one she... | |
| Demo'ing Class A amps, Appreciation Suggestions from those who recently been there I spent a lot of time looking to replace my Mcintosh separates which stood me well for almost 20 years, but once I started to listen the newer equipment I realized the MC’s were dated. Finally went above my price range and got the Luxman 590AX II.... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers that have to be up against the wall First I want to say thank you to all of you. I am going to try the cheap route first and plug them, I do have a sub, but it’s an older velodyne model right now. I can move them a few inches from the wall and will see how that goes. I will then go... |
