| Gomez live? I saw them at Roseland in NYC on their second album tour. They were not as strong live as their first two albums would lead you to believe. They were very young, they are still very young, and gave me the impression of a live work in progress. Whi... | |
| Anyone still do insightful or intelligent lyrics? I agree with many of the previous posts. Amy Mann and Ryan Adams are two of my favorites. Heartbreaker by Adams and Bachelor Number Two by Mann are, in my opinion, classic albums. I would add Jay Farrar to the list. His work with Uncle Tupelo, par... | |
| Subwoofers? I would suggest that you audition a Super Cube Subwoofer from Definitive Technology. Very impressive bass output, small size, integrates well with full range and monitor speakers, and relatively inexpensive at $1200 retail. In my system it is quic... | |
| Wadia 301 or ?????? I really like the Wadia 301. I have always been a fan of their equipment. I used to own a Wadia 830 and in some ways regret ever getting rid of it. There are some great CD players available in this price range. I would add the Meridian 588 as a mu... | |
| Want More Bass If you happy with the sound of your speakers as they are aside from a desire for greater lower frequency response my suggestion would be for you to add a quality subwoofer to your present system. I have owned Sunfire and REL subwoofers, different ... | |
| REL and VA Bach's I have my REL Q201E dialed in at around 31 hz with the volume around 2PM with my Vandersteen 2CE Signatures. I had my REL Storm III dialed in at 39 hz with the volume around 1PM when I had it paired with B&W N803's.I think that part of this ha... | |
| My Phish is Dead Cary it or Proceed to new Planet Hi Suko, I do not find the Musical Fidelity A308cr clinical at all, but I could see someone who is very happy with a more lush, less detailed CD player seeing it that way. I guess it depends on what you are listening to now and your personal prefe... | |
| My Phish is Dead Cary it or Proceed to new Planet Hi Suko, Very creative tag line. I myself am a Dead/Jam Band fan and am having a very good time with a Musical Fidelity A308cr CD Player. I find the Musical Fidelity CD Player lineup to be more detailed than the Cary, Rega, or Adcom CD Players. Mo... | |
| grateful dead remasters The best studio Grateful Dead recordings are those included in "The Golden Road" box set. These disks are truly amazing. The included bonus tracks are relevant on each disk. the individual liner notes are worth the price of the box set. They are t... | |
| Does anyone's cable TV provider offer HDTV? A followup to my original post on this subject. I got the new HDTV cable box today. I have to say that the PBS HDTV channel is nothing less than awe inspiring. I have never seen anything like this in my system. The other HDTV channels are very goo... | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. I am of the opinion that speakers are most likely to determine the sound of a two channel system. I think that this is an absolute truth. That is not to say that source and amplification components do not contribute to the overall system. They do.... | |
| Does anyone's cable TV provider offer HDTV? In Northern New Jersey Time-Warner is offering a Digital Cable Box with a HDCD Decoder attached at no extra charge. They are offering 13 channels of HDTV including the national broadcast channels, HBO, and Showtime. I just purchased an HDCD compat... | |
| Best spkrs for rock: Dunlavy V-Watt/Puppy-Revel?? Listen to a pair of ProAc 3.8's before you make your final decision. All of the speakers listed are very good choices. Many of them are designed to be extremely accurate monitors. I would say that rock music is not necessarily designed to be liste... | |
| Shhhhhh Don't tell my wife. Looking at B&W 802Ns My wife loved the appearance of B&W 803's so much she did not even ask how much they cost. I am not sure if there is a speaker made that has a better WAF than the Nautilus line assuming that you have a contemporary decorated living space. I re... | |
| Upgrading VTL 2.5 pre-amp to: CAT, BAT, or ARC? From my experience with the the three main competitors that you listed and your current system components I would recommend the ARC LS25 MKII over the BAT and CAT in your system. I have owned each of these preamplifiers and wound up spending the m... |
