Best Respighi Pines of Rome MFSL - Maazel and the Cleveland Orchestra. I've heard, but can't confirm, that the original Decca was even better. | |
Get Back Michael may not realize this. I'm not sure he has the nose for it anymore. | |
Linn LP12 Black Felt Mat How do you keep it on ? I've got a funny story...Years ago a friend of mine went to put an LP on his Linn and found the felt mat had gone missing. It seems he had not noticed that it was stuck to the last record that he played a few days earlier. He couldn't recall what ... | |
Where are you? Do you know what your FM is doing? Orlando has absolutely nothing worth listening to. The difference between Orlando and yogurt is that yogurt has an active culture. The good news is that I'm moving to the Boston area in a few months. | |
UPS strikes again It is my understanding that UPS stands for "Umteen Pieces and Slivers". | |
Is THETA DSPro still an advisable purchase ?? Tks $400 is way too much for a Pro Prime. You can get a Pro Prime IIa for that price and the IIa is vastly superior. I've owned them both. | |
Anybody remember G.A.S. I used a Shibata tipped Sleeping Beauty in a Fidelity Research FR-14 arm with a vacuum tube head amp on a Linn. This was in the late '70s. This was my favorite moving coil at the time. I also owned a Supex 900E and a Denon 103D. | |
Help My friend wants to go with some DQ-10s I agree with Captain. I've owned four pair of DQ 10s over the years and they wiped the floor with my Vandys. These speakers are better than 95% of todays stuff. Old technology? Yeah, like a Marantz 10B or QUAD 57s. | |
What do your kids see? My two daughters, born 1971 and 1975, have grown up with the hobby. They both loved going to bed while listening to Dahlquists or Quads from the living room. The result? Both are audiophiles. The older daughter has Dahlquist DQ10s with a sub-woofe... | |
Sonic Differences Between 2-Way and 3-Way Speakers My current speakers are one way. Acoustat 2+2s. All panels run full range with no crossover. Excellent sound. I have also owned Dahlquist DQ-10s, a five way speaker. Also excellent. Depends on who engineers them. Jim Strickland (Acoustat) and Jon ... | |
Theta Gen V unbalance -vs- Gen Va balanced Almost all Theta DACs have balanced outputs. My balanced Va has an XLR (balanced) input as well. This is an entirely different DAC and retailed for $5695 as opposed to $3895 for the unbalanced model. The balanced model also sports a teflon circuit... | |
Hey tube guys And I say - Can't we all just get a bong? | |
Acoustat TNT 200 It's normal. The stainless steel chassis is the reason. If you leave the amp on all of the time, it will stop after a day or two. Nothing to worry about. Don | |
Transitioning: back to solid state.... The money would have been better spent on college tuiton. You were not exactly deprived with an ARC amp. | |
XRCD vs. SACD It is my humble opinion that SACD has taken off like a heard of turtles. For being around as long as it has, it has gone nowhere and in a few years will be remembered like 8 track, the Sony Elcassette, SQ, QS and Beta. |
