| Weirdest Question asked when selling gear? How about this post-sale question: "I don't like how it sounds. Are you willing to reverse the deal?" Fancy this, it's an immaculate component, they buy it of free will, then contact you and ask to refund because it doesn't sound like they imagine... | |
| Backing out of audiophilism for now Looks like you've backed so far that you're back into audiophilism! | |
| Smooth Jazz Freak needs New Artists Just added the "Yahoo Music Jukebox" feature (free download) onto my computer. Woa. More than I can handle! total overdose of information regarding artists! All with samples. I like that so I can listen first and save tons of money by not guessing... | |
| Smooth Jazz Freak needs New Artists Did a search online for "smooth jazz internet" and came up with several sites like this:http://www.perryland.com/directory1.shtmlwhich will take you to a listing of stations on the net! Should be plenty to see/hear on those stations and their play... | |
| Smooth Jazz Freak needs New Artists Lngbruno, Wow! What a listing! I will most certainly check these names out as well as search for smooth Jazz station's play lists! Thanks again to all, and if there's more good ideas, keep 'em coming! | |
| Smooth Jazz Freak needs New Artists I agree, there are many "oldies but goodies" artists being listed here. Not discounting them, but I always like a fresh face/sound. Now we're getting somewhere! I REALLY like the suggestions of play lists for Jazz stations! Any other ideas MOST we... | |
| Smooth Jazz Freak needs New Artists I have Grant Geissman, Yellowjackets, Benson, Kenny G, Washington Jr., Fourplay, Culbertson, Ave. Blue, Matsui, Antoine, Jazzmasters...There must be some new/unusual talent that crosses over into the synthesized/pop sound. I have many of the artis... | |
| MIT's not good for tube components? I'm very happy using MIT Shotgun S3 speaker cables with my tube hybrid integrateds. | |
| How to horizontally bi-amp Maggies You're confusing active/passive biamping with vertical and horizontal biamping. Easy to do! I would do a search on the net or the asylum for "passive active biamping" and "vertical horizontal biamping" and you'll probably get more info than you ne... | |
| Soundproofing Doors at Home Depot Lowest tech solution which doesn't require rediculous dollars to solve a simple problem - a long pillow/beanbag to lay at the foot of the door to block the air/sound flow. It could be filled with beans, etc. something not too heavy but dense enoug... | |
| Best Integrated Amp You Ever Heard? There's a guy who visits these boards who goes by the handle "XLR8OR" (if I've got that right) and he's running Triangle speakers as well. He and I both did the twin Pathos Classic One MkII integrated's running mono. It's 170wpc into 8ohms and abo... | |
| Last night at Chapman Audio Systems The T-77 is the top of the Chapman line; the T-6MkII is likely now above the older T-7 model. From what I gathered talking with Mike F, he and Stuart prefer the sound of the T-6MkII to the T-7. Being halfway across the continent and never hearing ... | |
| Benchmark DAC1 or Ah Reference Tjoeb 4000 There are others to consider; I owned the Ah! 4000 with upsampler for a while. Nice, but not extravagant sound. Moved to the Rega Apollo, totally outclassed the Ah! in every respect. No comparison. The Apollo is both very detailed AND analogue sou... | |
| I'm Looking For the Best Somehow, it seems you'd not be happy with the "best" because there could be better. And, are you under the impression that more expensive = best? Sadly, you shall not receive what you desire, because audio is a very subjective thing. Pay someone t... | |
| Who got the Apogee " Full Range " sold recently.?? You chase Apogees at your own risk. The originals are older and have suspect surrounds (aging surrounds that will cause anomalies acoustically as they deteriorate). Between the hazards of shipping and the expensive cost of repairs, one must consid... |
