| UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red Fedex drop (literally) shipped an Esoteric K-03X CD player (purchased via A-gon) from his shoulder onto the marble floor of the lobby. I'd told the doorman to buzz me, as I needed to sign, which he did, but the Fedex dude was long gone, having fo... | |
| Pass x260.8 v. Parasound JC1+? Thank you all for your feedback. Very helpful. Cheers. | |
| Looking for a preamp with XLR connections Cary SLP-05. Get it direct from them with the upgrade. Yes, it has tubes. Not problematic, you'll love it. | |
| What do you use to keep high gloss speakers clean? I've a pair of piano black KEF Blades in need of cleaning some fingerprints, etc., stains. Suggestions, please! Thank you! | |
| Dust in the window A good friend took his new wife, who had no experience with snow, for a winter vacation in the mountains. Flying, then renting a car. One morning after a heavy snow, his wife, seeing the car covered, took a metal spatula to clear off the car. Wa... | |
| What is your favorite album cover? I tried posting the photo but I guess Agon has a problem with full frontal female nudity. | |
| What is your favorite album cover? Charles McPherson's But Beautiful on Venus Records. | |
| WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD? I've not heard them, but they are ugly. Like a couple R2D2s that got hit real hard with an ugly stick. | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Kevin Ayers' The Joy Of a Toy, JPT Scare Band's Past Is Prologue, and probably obscure for many, Small Faces' Ogden's Nut Gone. | |
| McIntosh C50 preamp having a hissy fit! Help! I've gone back to the balanced interconnects -- no initial thump. The hiss stopped when pre-amp powered off, amp powered on, so does not seem to be an amp problem. | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. Maybe start with something easy: Ballads, W/ Johnny Hartman, Coltrane & Ellington. Blue Train, Prestige recordings w/ Red Garland, Elmo Hope, Mal Waldron, etc. I have a hard time understanding why some people don't understand John Coltrane. I ... | |
| Take up drums at age 56? It all depends how serious you are and what you want to play. If your ambition is to bash out Ramones tunes, you can probably teach yourself. If you want to play something more sophisticated, you should take lessons. It'll save you a lot of time a... | |
| Pass labs poweramps I've a 350.5 with the same popping, clicking on powering up and off. I spoke to a Pass Labs tech, he explained it's entirely normal. After shipping, the unit may have sustained some hard landings. To mitigate by perhaps 50% these sounds, he sugge... | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers Some good responses, but a whole lotta nonsense, too. I'm a drummer who has played rock, blues and jazz with some of the greats in each field, as well as being a published music critic and owning 60,000+ titles in my music library. Harrumph. Blues... | |
| Just how great is Elvis Costello He's real good, but not in my great category. Dug his first few LPs, lost interest. Re D. Krall, so what? Great to me (in singer/songwriter land) = Dylan, Otis Rush, Muddy, Brother Ray, Neil Young, Joni, Kevin Ayers, Robert Wyatt, John Cale, Lo... |
