| Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80? For me, my attachment to the music of my youth is in large part due to the amount of emotion I have invested it with. This overlaps with, but is not exactly the same as nostalgia. Nostalgia allows me to enjoy certain songs that I rejected when th... | |
| Location of compoments. @mclinnguy I thought that was the stairway to heaven. I saw the Who in 1981 in KC and, while he didn’t impale his hand, his fingertips were bleeding such that, by the end of the show, you could clearly see an arc of blood with each windmill (I ... | |
| Townshend Audio Seismic Podiums Review I have Townsend products under my speakers and amp. Great product and great customer service. I’ve been eyeing their F1 Fractal speaker cables, as well. | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? I can’t recall ever reading a full set of responses and agreeing so thoroughly with them. There is a lot of great advice above. A reason to treasure this site. I’d add to the many excellent recommendations: Herbie Hancock, Headhunters and Canta... | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! @bluorion i had an eye out for them, but didn’t see any. That said, I missed a dozen or so rooms. | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! I went back late Sunday and tried to buy the MBL C41 streamer at a demo discount. No dice. It was already spoken for. “But we’d be happy to find you a brand new one.” I don’t mean to sound snarky. They were actually quite nice to speak with. | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! @ckr1969 Burmester 232 Integrated Amp. It sounded great. Reminded me of my Boulder 866 — very clean and engaging, great soundstage and accurately conveyed instrumental and vocal timbres. I also heard the Accuphase E-800 and E-5000 integrated ... | |
| Pop album that has stood the test of time k.d. lang, Ingenue Gary Numan and the Tubeway Army, Replicas Jeff Beck’s Guitar Shop the first three Public Enemy offerings. | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! Almost forgot — best “low-cost” sound for me was the local pairing of Eastern Bay Speakers with LTA electronics (644). LTA was featured in several rooms. The newish LTA DAC and other gear sounded great in each of the different systems I heard. ... | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! I had a great day there yesterday with a friend. Highlights for me were MBL room (Twinbriok), Gestalt audio (with Colin playing a wonderful Johnny Hartman LP)(325), YG with Burmester (737), YG with Bel Canto (806), Margules Group (832), Vitus/Est... | |
| Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget Another vote for Joseph Audio. I have the relatively small floor standing Perspective2s. I love them in my smallish room. You can definitely find the pulsars at your price point, but might find a pair of good used perspectives or Perspective2s,... | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! I’m looking forward to attending Saturday. I’ve had several sublime audio experiences there the last few years. Hoping for a few more on Saturday. | |
| Looking for my End Game Speaker I have a relatively small room and selected Joseph Perspective 2s. I love them. Relatively small footprint and not towering, they are sensitive to placement, but not overly so. Great soundstage and reproduce all types of music well, to my ears. ... | |
| Steve Morse pays tribute to Jeff beck What a wonderful way to start my day! Thank you @stuartk ! | |
