| Where did you buy your first audio gear? When I was in law school, living in a cheap apartment in the early 1980s, there was an electronics store that sold used stuff. I bought an Aiwa tape deck and a cheap reel to reel. I was an aspiring musician playing in a band and writing music. I u... | |
| New Spatial Audio M4 Ultra Discussions about this on Audio Circle. It looks like the tweeter for the M3 is no longer available to the M4 Ultra has a different tweeter and is a smaller speaker in stature (about 1/2 foot). The X series (I also have the X5s) are still availabl... | |
| Disservice: XLR interconnects @rman9, I kid you not. It's actually almost disappointing because it means you have to consider paying a premium for every cable and interconnect. I bought a Hapa Aero USB Cable from a trusted poster over at Audio Circle. I got him down a bit beca... | |
| WILL IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE? I don't have a lot of experience with tube amps but I have switched from SS to Tubes and don't intend to go back. I have a Rogers High Fidelity 65V2 and I thought it sounded great. I saw an end game amp on a used site and waited till it dropped in... | |
| Disservice: XLR interconnects I was also a cable doubter but tried some used Silversmith Fidelium and heard a significant difference. Then I tried an expensive usb cable for crying out loud and that made a difference. This is some crazy business. I didn't think a cable that ca... | |
| Hegel owners - what speakers are you using @jeffseight I went to that show. I thought the KEF R3 was the best speaker I heard and I also liked the Buchardts. It was a bit hard to tell because they played some wildly different stuff for each speaker even within the same genres. I was also ... | |
| Anyone own Linear Tube Audio Amps? Quick update, I added Psvane EL34s to the mix and I'm really loving it. Hearing things I didn't know were there in the music. | |
| What are your top three live concerts of all time? Romeo Void at the University of Arizona Student Ballroom. The guitar, bass, drums and sax of this band were really locked in and was mesmerizing. I also saw the Talking Heads and Ramones at the same location but Romeo Void was best. Jonathan Rich... | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? @bdp24 I'm with you on the Kinks except I would add Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One and Muswell Hillbillies to make a great 6 record run. | |
| Reviewing the fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables I bought the Fideliums some months ago and think they are great plus they look pretty cool. I initially used them with a lower powered SET amp and was pleased. My question is whether anyone has used cable risers with them and if there is any b... | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? Can’t tell if you are being facetious but Waterloo Sunset is about an area in London near a train station called Waterloo Underground. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterloo_Sunset | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? My selections: Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks (Ray Davies) The Wind by Cat Stevens Days by Television | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? I was also very much into Television. That is the band that made me want to pick up a guitar and start playing. I really like both guitarists but appreciate Richard Lloyd's playing the best. I also like XTC although I initially didn't go beyond Dr... | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? As I was an amateur musician in the late 70s and up through the mid-80s, I can give you my perspective. First off I want to commend a bunch of you for listing some great acts of the 80s. I listened to much of this stuff because I had friends who w... | |
| Anyone own Linear Tube Audio Amps? A couple of other things. I have Spatial Audio Labs X5 speakers so the bass isn't an issue for me since the woofers are driven by hypex class D amps. The other thing I forgot to mention which I think is a big difference (beyond the warmth that t... |
