| Does your amp/preamp/int amp have to look good? For me it matters only because I won't audition a piece of kit I don't like the looks of. As far as I'm concerned, my Harbeth's are the best looking speakers on the planet. I do not like fancy glossy gear. There's so much amazing gear out there th... | |
| Best treatment for speaker feet???? I would also consider contacting Herbie's Audio. They're not extremely expensive and they have a nice wide variety of solutions. If something doesn't work for you, they would take it back in trade for something else to try. Most importantly, if yo... | |
| Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa-"Don't Explain" Joe Bonamassa is a prick but he's a good and talented performer. I met him once and he's full of himself, but I guess he can be that way. | |
| Live Performances Gone Awry Dayglow. I know what you mean about Ozzy giving a karaoke version of Iron Man. I drove up to Montreal sometime in the 90's to see Black Sabbath's farewell tour. The entire band played perfectly with the exception of Ozzy's voice. I'll never forget... | |
| Big upgrade Thanks Ecruz. This is great information. My LCD sits to the left side of the left speaker at an angle. I cover it with a blanket when I'm serious about listening and it does help but I have no idea how it would sound if the TV wasn't there at all.... | |
| Live Performances Gone Awry Isochronism - I saw Motorhead in 1983 ( I listen to a huge variety of music). The lead singer 'Lemmy' was playing their popular 'Ace of Spades' song at ear bleeding levels. We were third row side stage and I watched Lemmy flick his burning cigaret... | |
| Live Performances Gone Awry Sebof. I saw that Who tour in Buffalo NY but instead of the Jethro Tull it was The Clash. I was about 14 maybe 15 at that show. I remember we blew off John Cougar. Knowing whaat I know now, he might have been awesome at a smaller venue. I saw Tull... | |
| Best small speakers? I would listen to Totem Element Fire's. They were a big buzz at the RMAF. I'm a Harbeth freak. The Super 5's are in your price range. I have the C7's and will be keeping them for another 10 years without even thinking about it. They work miracles ... | |
| "Hidden Gems"' Oh the kidney stones. I like the Rolling Stones a lot better. I only drink water now. No iced tea or dark sodas.My hidden gems are Brazilian samba and tropicalia, such as Gilberto Gil, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Milton Nascimento (saw him in June and t... | |
| Live Performances Gone Awry One more story. I went to see Ronnie James Dio with a co-worker in 1998 at a very small venue. The show was amazing. Half way through the show, someone in the audience threw a beer bottle at Ronnie James Dio and just barely missed him. Ronnie stop... | |
| Live Performances Gone Awry Ncarv...OMG,,,,that Bowie story is horrible.The Lucinda Williams show cracks me up (kind of). I think everyone that's seen her has a story. We were second row of a small venue in 2009. Nobody was dancing and my wife, who ALWAYS DANCES, got out of ... | |
| Are CD players dead You'll know when they're dead when you stop seeing them on the cover of Stereophile. If companies are still making them, it's worth the cost of R&D to make them. You have to wait until anyone who's 38 years old right now to die of old age. | |
| Help Me Build a Second System For Less than $10000 Are you hiring? All kidding aside, what's your main system? That would give everyone an idea of what you like. Are you looking to spin vinyl, CD's, etc. | |
| Supratek is back That's some amazingly beautiful handmade gear. Some amazing reviews to boot. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE My first speakers were Genesis Model 1's that I bought with paper route money in 1979. They were amazing speakers for their price point. Built in New Hampshire and modeled after the BBC school of speaker design and engineering, this was a period c... |
