| Have you seen Eric Clapton at his best? Saw Delany and Bonnie at the Chicago Auditorium in the early 70's.They had a scruffy sideman with them named Eric Clapton.Is he the same one?Seriously, I believe EC to be the greatest guitar player on earth (Jimi, as we all know, came from another... | |
| DVD music concerts Bdgregory:I'd like to applaud your listing existing posts on this subject.This is SO much better than merely whining about what is already there (as if we have time to wallow in the AGon matrix of posts to find them).For me, I really like Fleetwoo... | |
| does tull qualify? Can someone recommend the best post-Passion Play Tull?I sort of lost interest after that and feel I might be missing some good stuff. | |
| PS Audio? Rega? Benchmark? Would like to hear from people using any of the three in an all-balanced system and their results. | |
| does tull qualify? Yes, they were unique and part of what made that era magical. Damn I miss it.I just wish so many people I knew didn't have to die for the "do your own thing" paradigm. | |
| Hi-Fi Lingo and What we should be listening for I think the question is: What we should be "feeling" for? | |
| Crank it up just once May I suggest "Crossroads" and "Spoonful" from Cream's "Wheels of Fire"? | |

| Audio Research Cheap as Dirt? Cwlondon: It's in the league of extraordinary preamps! | |
| Audio Research Cheap as Dirt? LS-1 sounds very good but kind of in your face. Had to knock its gain down by melting a PC board solder trace (Leonard can tell you how).Also, needs a good quiet tube (had some that actually whistled -bummer!).LS-9 was an excellent pre-amp. I'd sa... | |
| HMDI Cabling HDMI is transitioning from version 1.1 to 1.3.1.3 allows all kinds of nifty advantages due to its higher bandwith (ability to move more bits per second).Assuming the "3" in "HDMI-3" refers to version 1.3, you are buying a more advanced cable which... | |
| missed buying opportunities I could have purchased a house and saved for retirement but bought audio equipment instead... Doh! | |
| Help me hunt for a SS integrated I've been using a BAT 300X-SE in a small room with Thiel 1.6s and have no complaints.The preamp section uses 2 6H30 tubes (10,000 hour lifspan) so it's not 100% solid state, however. | |
| Air tight ATM 211 and MAXX The only similar problem I've had was turning off my Almarro A203A (EL84 based integrated, 3 watts/ch) and turning it immediately back on. This blew a fuse for some reason.I was told to let the amp rest a few minutes befor turning back on. | |
| Keep SACD Petition link I agree SACD is very good.I'm waiting to see how the new 24-bit, 192K sampled HD multi-channel standards play out.Probably won't sound too bad... |
