| Luxman vs. Accuphase I'm getting ready to audition Luxman with no comparison to Accuphase but instead Ayre. Hopefully Ayre releases the AX5 this fall. | |
| Mcintosh or Wyred4Sound? You need to find out for yourself. If you cant demo one or the other then take it out of the equation. There's no way Wyred for Sound can better a Mac the way Patsuh describes. Actually there is a way and that's for his ears to decide. Don't let a... | |
| vintage equipment repair I'm sure you'll find someone but if not come on down to Rochester. There's a place about a mile from my house called Audio Sound Solutions and they work on Sansui. We can do dinner. The drive is not bad at maybe 3 hours and 15 minutes. I come up t... | |
| mark knophler I heard one song on the radio last weekend in the car and ordered it on Sunday. I should get it tomorrow. I was impressed. Ive read that if you're a fan of Mark you should order it. Do you own it or are you looking for opinions? | |
| Tempest, revisited Thanks for the recommendation. I personally have always loved Bob Dylan and yes he just keeps getting better. The last time I saw him live was Modern Times tour and I was floored at what an amazing show that was. This has turned out to be a great ... | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No I think it's a nice luxury to have both. I've been pondering a solid state integrated for awhile now. Might be auditioning Luxman and Ayre this weekend for my Harbeth's. | |
| New Music Recommendations 2012 I didn't notice any mention of Mark Knopflers new release 'Privateering'. Some think it's his best. I've only heard one track so far and it was impressive. I'll post my thoughts on the entire release (it's a double) when I get it later this week. | |
| heard Melody Gardot? We really enjoyed the show. I was impressed with that sax player, especially when he played two at the same time. I agree that I would have liked to see a bit less upholstery draping off her body. It's as though she rolled herself up in a huge bla... | |
| Best Metal Vinyl Album I was a metal head back in the mid 80's. Those were the last of the turntable days (no choice). I loved Judas Priest, Accept, Nasty Savage, Merciful Fate. It was all fantastic on vinyl. I can get really deep with this but you'll have to ask becaus... | |
| heard Melody Gardot? You will not be dissappointed Devilboy. Her new release is nothing short of amazing. If you see a 45 year old bald guy with a beautiful red head in tall black leather boots that might be me and my wife. Orchestra row Q seats 6 and 8. We're very ex... | |
| heard Melody Gardot? I will be driving to Philly on Saturday to see Melody. I'm blown away by The Absense and wonder if anyone else has seen this tour. Philly might be the 1st US tour date. | |
| Primaluna Dialog Two Integrated Amp vs Cayin A-88T What about customer service? I know Rogue is fantastic being located in Pennsylvania. Rhljazz. Can I put KT120's in my Cronus Magnum? What might I expect to hear as opposed to KT90's? | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? 2005 Toyota 4 Runner and a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg Edition. I'm keeping both until I can see the road through the floor boards. (Live in upstate Ny where we salt roads in winter). The VW is a blast to drive. | |
| Top 5 Song Writers Of The 80's Huey Lewis? I'd put Stevie Winwood or Bruce Hornsby in front of him. Brian Eno. | |
| More recordings like "The Trinity Sessions"? You could easily have a Canadian band thread. Frazey Ford could have her own thread. Amazingly talented girl. |
