| Quality CD Recorders If you want a small, half-size CD Recorder that makes great CDs from analog for around $325, try the Tascam CD-RW4U. 20 bit, records on any type of CD media, SCMS defeatable, Remote control, and even sounds decent as a stand-alone player. If you w... | |
| WTD - 3D Sound like Amused To Death By R Waters Fatparrot is right. I totally forgot the ridiculous price for the LPs, since I got mine for $34 when they first came out. And, I do agree that it should be listened to straight through for max enjoyment. BUT, Roger did plan the side breaks so they... | |
| WTD - 3D Sound like Amused To Death By R Waters Peter, if you want to really enjoy ATD, get the vinyl 2 LP set. The CD absolutely pales in comparison.I think I also have the Sting recorded in Q-Sound as well.I really laughed when I saw they recorded Wilson Phillips in Q-Sound. What a waste of t... | |
| The Fastest most musical amp Hi Gang - Dismalonx, I have a few questions that are strictly curiosity-driven and NOT meant to disparage in any way.1. What speakers are you mating this "fast" amp to?2. What source are you using mostly: LP? CD? XRCD? SACD?3. What type of music d... | |
| which hybrid amp? Hands down, no contest, best bang-for-the-buck is the Audio Van Alstine FET Valve 550EX. Detailed, dynamic, gobs of power, and handles loads down to 2 ohms (are you listening, Apogee owners?). It's non-fatiguing and plays very well with any speake... | |
| Some of my favorite songs are...... I'll stick with five:"Extra Girl" - The Bluebeats"Spanish Jack" - Willy Deville"Goodbye Blue Sky" - Pink Floyd"Stay With Me" - Rod Stewart"Almost Lucy" - Al StewartEd | |
| Questions re: Biamplification I can only help you with your first question. The potential disadvantage of biamping is totally messing up the decent sound you now enjoy. The differences in amplifier timing, slew rate and dynamics make biamping risky at best. If you do it, here'... | |
| No Stairway and no Free bird.. please... When you're up to it, try "Funk 49," "Gimme Three Steps," and "Rock And Roll Band" - by The James Gang, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Boston. You might not particularly like them, but I'll guaranasstee 'ya the audience will. :-)Just a cover band guy gettin'... | |
| Experiences blending Naim preamp with other amps I've used both the Naim NAC 72 and 82 preamps with a variety of Naim and other brand equipment. The Naim preamps are by far some of the most musical, versatile preamps made. The 82 is a dream to listen to with either tube or solid-state amps. Two ... | |
| Mark Knopfler's Ragpickers Dream-heard it? I think this is an overall excellent MK album that unfortunately may require a couple of listens to get under your skin. It's certainly the best recorded MK album to date; and, if you throw out the 1 or 2 usual MK clunkers, the rest are decent son... | |
| Song intros that really grab you? ? I forgot to mention the intros to "Smoke On The Water" by Deep Purple, "China Grove" by The Doobie Brothers, & "The Boys Are Back In Town" by Thin Lizzie. Insant song identifiers all.Showing my age,Ed | |
| Song intros that really grab you? ? How about the Joe Walsh intro to "Funk #49" by the James Gang? I know it gets my attention. :-) | |
| Any info on Teac reel to reel cassettes? Hi BBB-I have some Teac cassettes with clear shells that contain what look like miniature reel-to-reel gold metal reels. The Teac part # is CRC-90. They are high-bias, 90 minute tapes. But, they are fully enclosed and functional cassettes, just de... | |
| PreAmp-Tuner Combinations I used a NAD 1700 Preamp/Tuner as a starter unit for a few years. It wasn't all that bad. Very fexible, lots of inputs, MM and MC phono options, and the tuner was respectable. Although lacking in the utmost detail retrieval and bass definition, it... | |
| What cartridge works for you ??? Hi. Grab a Dynavector DV20X-H (High Output) or X-L (Low output) MC cratridge for $400-$500 and your search will be over. No one who has heard a Dynavector in their system (unless there's a gross mis-match with their phono stage) has ever not wante... |
