| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” The Chord Ultima integrated has me intrigued. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8I_deaVNTU | |
| What is the advantage of being able to select the MONO button? I used to play chess with my former next-door-neighbor. I'd set up a "chess table" sideways in front of my stereo. I'd set the system to mono so we could each hear all of the music instead of just what was coming out of the speaker we were next to. | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? Don't blame your system if the music is lacking. The recording/mixing/mastering has something to do with the final product. Too much detail? If it's on the disk, I want to hear it. | |
| What is the first thing you do when you unwrap a new vinyl record? First I inspect it to make sure it isn't dished, warped or defective in any way. Next, I zap it with my Zerostat and clean it on my Diskwasher (manually). Finally, I play it and listen for any faults. I've learned to perform this ritual within ... | |
| Received my Denafrips Venus 15th Enjoy! | |
| From Sonus Faber Extrema to... My impulse advice: Eggelstonworks Andra III. Personally, I'm smitten by B&W 800 series D3 (I own 804D3). Best speakers for atmosphere, depth and detail I've ever heard (diamond tweeter?). Always lusted for the Extremas. Always unaffordable (... | |

| What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find? Another "Lost Concert" is Don Williams playing on PBS "In Concert" series circa 1979. The most perfect execution of the most profoundly beautiful songs I've ever heard. Haven't seen This show since. Just a crime it's not available. | |
| What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find? @ozzy Read your post which prompted me to dig out my long-unplayed Ultradisk of this Rod Stewart masterpiece. Will play tonight! Thanks for the inspiration. | |
| What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find? Bartok "Concerto for Orchestra" played for a live audience in the Royal Albert Hall, London. This performance was shown on a PBS tribute to Sir George Solti in the late 70s. Sir George gave an inspired performance, and the crowd went absolutely wi... | |
