| Bose 901 My dad had 901's for a while, connected to a Marantz receiver. This was before the days that sound-staging became such a critical issue for stereo nuts, and the spacious sound that emanated from them was revelatory for this teen-aged audiophile. ... | |
| Ok guys I'm a SOTA owner and I'm with mijostyn. The machinery sounds better with the dust cover down. And I'm a happy camper that the preferred dust cover position keeps the LP cleaner. It's only when I'm spinning 7 inch 45's that I have the cover up. ... | |
| What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have? Along with listening to my steereo, playing music has always been my first and foremost passion. I play the violin. Banjo. Dobro. Steel string acoustic guitars. Electrics, both single-poled and Humbucker-ed. I eventually had to sell my grand ... | |
| Trivializing AudiogoN...........ie: what I have is the best... I get a kick out of the posters here who seem to switch out their components once a week. It's not about the money, either. Ah, another set of tube mono amps! Ah, another double hernia operation... | |
| Any thoughts or experience on the current and future of FM radio? Me and the wife always financially support our local public radio stations, particularly the ones that play classical. | |
| Any thoughts or experience on the current and future of FM radio? I still enjoy FM (and AM) a lot, but I have to say that the streaming services are manna from heaven. Fab fidelity. Fab selection, | |
| Trivializing AudiogoN...........ie: what I have is the best... Yeah, there is an unmistakable streak of meanness on this site, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying it anyway. It's just that, even more than on the other consumer product websites I frequent (e.g., ones involving bicycles and musical instrumen... | |
| LP made from a digital master recording... When it comes to sound quality, to me it's more a matter of the recording's label and producer than the choice of recording technique or the media through which we access it. I gotta say, too, that I love some of my old Telarc LPs. | |
| A philosophical question. As far as I'm concerned, genre is truly overrated as a way of choosing music to listen to. If it's good, i.e., if it moves you on any aesthetic, emotional or visceral level, it's worthwhile. As Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson once said, it's all noise ... | |
| A philosophical question. After listening to the reconstructed Mahler Tenth I wind down with a couple spins of Hanky Panky by Tommy James and the Shondels. | |
| A philosophical question. I'll chime in with several posters above and say that Tidal, Qobuz and other streaming music sites are the proverbial bees' knees. Toss a few bucks their direction each month and you have a veritable universe of music to sample...in damnably high ... | |
| Heavy Metal Anyone? Punk/New Wave rock songs often move at considerably quicker tempos than metal music. So can classical and jazz music. Yeah, Heavy Metal guitar players can play quick successions of notes but their licks are largely confined to simple patterns that... | |
| Cover Songs that are better than the Original Hallelujah - Jeff BuckleySuzanne - Judy Collins | |
| Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on! It's rare when I don't listen to an entire LP side. It goes down to fifty/seventy-five percent for both LP sides. Listening to an entire multi-disk opera? Rarely. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Last night. Solo piano recital by Rachel Cheung, this year's Van Cliburn Audience Award winner. |
