| Cheap bi-wiring? PS: Also forgot to mention that the Audio Advisor has MIT T2 internal bi-wire cables on closeout at half off. An 8ft pair is around $200.00. Some people love them and some people hate them and I have never tried them. Maybe others know of other in... | |
| Greatest Guitar Band I think that Greg Allman did the solo on Scaggs version of "Brother Can You Spare Me a Dime". | |
| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? Vibrapods and a sheet of MDF or a Maple cutting board under the CD player are a cheap must do. I will be trying Mapleshade's Tenderfeet in a few days which are about the same price as the Pods. Keeping cables seperate and off of carpet and other s... | |
| Greatest Guitar Band Garfish: Yes, I used to like and listen to JJ Cale (Mr. Mellow), also liked Humble Pie although I thought they had more of a top 40 sound, but were good players. Quicksilver Messenger Service, The Tubes and early electric Neil Young come to mind a... | |
| Cheap bi-wiring? Heyhorse: I use Kimber 4VS in my system and have used it in bi-wire and bi-amp setups as well. It is a big improvement over the 4PR and does not cost much more (retail is $3.00 a ft). I have an extra 18ft plus unterminated pair (that would allow y... | |
| Greatest Guitar Band Yes, saw Alvin Lee quite a few times (Ten Years After) also remembering Johhny Winters and Rick Deringer as being good on stage. Lee's performances were not very consistant and were either great or very sloppy. Saw Deryk and the Dominoes after Dua... | |
| Greatest Guitar Band Check out Savoy Brown or the original Fleetwood Mac. I have not seen FM's first group of albums like "Kiln House" on CD and do not know if they exist nor have I checked for CD's by Savoy Brown. I am just going from memory of vinyl and also saw the... | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword Hi Margin: Yes, I have wondered about that mainly to download/play music samples from BMG and Columbia. We do not listen to the radio and I have found it hard to select new poular music by unknowns and know that I am missing out on a lot of stuff ... | |
| Best Holiday CDs? The Simpsons "Sing the Blues". BMG/Geffen 1990. No holiday songs on this but it is festive for a family/friends gathering and I assume that everyone young and old can relate to the cartoon character's voices that sing the lyrics. Guest musicians i... | |
| Will a DAC mellow Denon DCM 360 Dark: There are a lot of good players in the price range that you are looking at. For example: Audio Refinement Complete (used), Cambridge 500 (new), CAL Icon MkII (used -I own this) and the CAL 5 changer (used). Check out as many as possible. I a... | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword Addendum: I meant my wife's massive collection of cassette tapes, not CD's (whish they were CD's, cause if they were I would be listening to Mink DeVille, Cadillac Walk" in the living room right now). | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword Hi Margin: I have our second mini system hooked up at the computer station now, soon to be set up for near field listening (all I need is a pair of 30" stands). Before, the computer was set up in the living room with the main system ($2500.00 tota... | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword I can type and listen at the same time. I just do it to the tempo of the music. I wonder if it would be harder with a "high priced" stereo? | |
| Best Integrated for SF Signum? You are welcome Ken. I was lucky and did not have to consider HT this time around as we have watched a total of three movies and one BBC sitcom on video in the past nine years. I am not anti HT just glad that I do not have to buy 2+ of almost ever... | |
| Best Integrated for SF Signum? Ken: No I just briefly read what info was available on it. It seemed that the DAC needed to be linked to their optional power supply to give better performance and then there is the room equalizer "thing" that also mates with it plus I understand ... |
