| Soundsmith Progression: MIMC Star > Sussurro Mk II Cool. Would love to hear your impressions! | |
| Rosanne Cash "She Remembers Everything" LP Mofi--if you have the redbook version of "Interiors" I'd love to hear your thoughts on how it compares to your UK pressing. I may need to track one of those down.... | |
| Rosanne Cash "She Remembers Everything" LP Thanks for the heads up. I'm a huge fan. "Interiors" has to be one of the best singer-songwriter releases of all time. I also love "Ten Song Demo". Both are pretty well recorded--I wish someone would remaster and release in LP format. | |
| Considering used towers under $1000.. Yes, sorry--writing quickly. They sound way better than I spell..... | |
| Considering used towers under $1000.. A pair of Gershwin Sonograms just popped on from a dealer in NJ who posts here often. I heard these once at a show and thought they sounded very, very good for the money. He is asking $1800 but you may be able to grab them somewhere close to your ... | |
| What’s a 10k to 15k speaker from smaller company that performs well? Roger that larryi. I heard the Charney's at CAF (with the high end AER driver) and they sounded very promising. Wonderfully present, quick and coherent. Another high efficiency brand to consider is Daedalus Audio. Paired with an LTA Ultralinear th... | |
| Any Mark Knopfler fans out there? Knopfler has a unique guitar style and sound. I love the first few Dire Straits LPs. Favorite cut: "In the Gallery" off the debut record. The guitar work is incredible and I love the way he sings the crap out of the song. | |
| Live shows I wish I hadn't missed Was partying with friends at our beach house near Asbury Park. There were rumors Bruce Springsteen was going to make a surprise appearance at the Stone Pony that night. We had heard these rumors throughout the summer but he never materialized. Ins... | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report Spent most of the day there on Saturday and felt I could have used another to really see/hear everything of interest. VPI did a great job rolling out the 40th Anniversary Direct Drive table--they nailed the aesthetics on this one and the ergonomic... | |
| Upgrading preamp and phono I would second the Herron recommendation. There is a VTSP-3A (R02) that just came on today. Grab that and then call Keith to pick up a matching VTPH-2A--I think you will be happy :>). BTW, I've owned a bunch of ARC equipment over the years (not... | |
| More Blood on the Tracks (New Bootleg Series) Awesome, just what I wanted to hear. Ordered the two LP set. Should be very interesting! | |
| BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER To my ear there is no better voice than Karen Carpenter. When I hear her sing it just blows my mind. Not a fan of the music but her voice just kills me. A close second would be Alison Krauss. I could listen to her sing forever. I'll throw out a ja... | |
| Speakers for First Watt SIT-1 amp When I decided to change amps the SIT-1's (or new SIT-3) were on my short list. I, too, was hesitant to go with tube monoblocks as I have a small child and did not want to deal with the typical tube concerns (heat, short life, biasing, etc.). Howe... | |
| Speaker Recommendation: 20K range Chandybe the more you share about your preferences the more I think you should take a look at the Daedalus Apollo 11s. If looks matter and you like real wood sculpted and finished by the hands of a true artisan then these could be the ticket. Of c... | |
| Speaker Recommendation: 20K range Lots of competent speakers at that price point but if you want to push the needle to exceptional then I agree with Duke--check out some of the "little guys" who sell direct. I would strongly second the recommended Daedalus Apollo 11s. I heard them... |
