| Amp's that are better sounding than a nad 3020 You would be amazed what $300.00 can buy. TheYamaha R-N303 has a formidable feature set and a very decent amplifier and if you can find one it sells for $329.99. Then there’s always the yard sale treasure possibility. | |
| Acoustic Guitar on Vinyl +1 on Bruce Cockburn. No one has mentioned Jorma Kaukonen! The first Hot Tuna album on RCA is a RtDF. Others…Mississippi John Hurt,Today! on Vanguard, David Bromberg with Norman Blake “The Boggy Road to Milledgeville”. Doc Watson on Vanguard. No... | |
| Bryston's New Back To The Future Program. “Up to spec”. Considering that there is a weak relationship between specs and SQ in the view of many members of this forum, the promise is no panacea for owners hoping their old amps will sound like new. Just sayin’… | |
| Using Adcom GFA-555s as monoblocks to power magnepan 3.3s in active biamp I think the poInt is bridging disadvantages the amp’s ability to drive low Z loads. You have one. So why would you think it a good use of your gear? The 555 was heralded as “high current” in its day (relative to its class peers, not Krell!), but... | |
| Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit "No replacement for displacement" Words of wisdom. The idea that this tiny FR driver can handle FR music at any reasonable level is simply not credible, and the measurements prove it. As a NF monitor at lowish volumes, maybe a case can be made.... | |
| Top 10 vintage cassette decks Cassettes were a sh**ty medium so why waste your money on a over-engineered, difficult to maintain machine? Just get any Nak 2 head single capstan deck with Sendust heads, metal biasing. Many to choose from. I have an MR2 pro version of BX2. Ano... | |
| McIntosh Group purchased by PE firm Goatshead, That is an unwarranted and cynical comment. ejr1953 says it all. | |
| Politics and Music Please remember to add that the Democratic party of the 1800s was constituted by Andrew Jackson's Nativist/populist coalition, and the GOP was a brand new party devoted to abolition, with its base in the industrial North. In today's world, the po... | |
| Politics and Music Artemus5, “The 60's movement was all about peace, love and ending wars. Yet since we, the baby boomers have grown and taken the roles of power, we have endless wars, violent riots and now the cancel culture where only one viewpoint is even allow... | |
| Hot Rats Mysterioso1, The Grand Wazoo and Waka Jawaka are both demo quality, with great dynamics, tone color, and a big open stage presentation, but musically, TGW is the better album with more great songs. My original 1973 vinyl still sounds great. | |
| Energy speakers If you are doing an HT, you should think first about the center channel speaker….most use horizontal MTM configuration, which sucks no matter who does it. Look for a true 3way CC and get matched L/R towers. I suggest looking into another Canadian ... | |
| Speaker/equipment placement Ask married owners of Magneplanars if they move them for serious listening and you’ll find it’s not so rare. With heavy cabinet speakers, especially spiked, yeah that’s not happening. | |
| Volume Control Too Sensitive If you are using unbalanced connections, this may work: GT102 VC | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? Jackson Browne "For A Dancer" Joni Mitchell "Both Sides Now" Bob Dylan "Just Like A Woman" Jimi Hendrix "Axis: Bold As Love" The Beatles "I Saw Her Standing There" Rolling Stones "Wild Horses" Paul Simon "Sounds Of Silence" Smokey Robinson ... | |
| Celestion Ditton 66’s. ‘Upgrade’ to modern speakers consequences? You’ll need to spend in excess of $10K to equal the Ditton 66 in terms of full range power response. Focal Kanta 3 would be one to check out. Expect greater resolution and more articulate bass with lower coloration overall. If this is way out of t... |
