| CORK: Diffuse or Absorb? Yep- certainly wouldn't be a typical material for diffusion. It has a wavy design, so not totally flat. But still a bath mat, so pretty flat. There are interview/videos on Peter Breunninger's AV showrooms website. He interviews a few guys with nic... | |
| Harbeth vs JM Reynaud Interesting thread. There is review of the JMR Twin and Cantabile in Positive-feedback issue 25. It's the same review, both speakers.... The reviewer compares the JMR's to the Compact 7ES in the review. I only say this based on specs, but perhaps ... | |
| JJ 300 B tubes or others ? Haven't heard the Black Treasures, but I am enjoying the Genelec Gold Lions in my Parallel SET mono's quite a bit. | |
| Hendrix : Freedom/ATL pop festival I just grabbed Miami Pop at Sonic Boom in Toronto. It didn't grab me on the first listen, but I'm gonna give it another spin soon. The recording was certainly not great. Yesterday gave a listen to an early Brown label Electric Ladyland. Wow, had f... | |
| Wharfdale Denton Anniver spks. Excellent or hype? In this price range, a listen to the NEW Andrew Jones designed ELAC speakers may make sense. | |
| Turntable recommendation for under 6k Pani- I may be wrong, but I believe Feickert offers Jelco arms with their tables. To my knowledge, he doesn't make an arm. If there hasn't been enough tables mentioned here, let me ad the Luxman PD-171AL. Cheers -Don | |
| Harbeth vs JM Reynaud I owned the baby Spendor 3/5R's, and played them in a very small 11.5' square den. I had great success with them in that little room. I auditioned Harbeth P-3's in a dealers showroom, that was likely about the size of your room, perhaps a bit larg... | |
| Montreal vs Toronto for Vinyl shopping Toronto was a nice trip. Lots of great food, highlighted by the Neapolitan style pizza at Pizzeria Libretto. All the great choices made it difficult to come back to the Albany area. Cosmos West(Pop/Rock)was a waste of time. It was very overpriced.... | |
| Montreal vs Toronto for Vinyl shopping Thanks very much Banerjba. I should be busy there. I had not heard of Amoroso or Around again. Here's my list beyond those: COSMOS West, GOOD MUSIC,ROTATE THIS, KOPS, SONIC BOOM,SUNRISE, VORTEX, JUNE RECORDS, DISCOVERY RECORDS, GRASSHOPPER, TINY R... | |
| Tube Troubleshooting Yes, at least one of your 6SN7's are bad. Hopefully you live close to someone who has a tube tester, and they can check them for you. I don't have a tech or someone with a tube tester close, so I am looking at getting one for myself. Thankfully, y... | |
| Warren Haynes feat Railroad Earth - Ashes and Dust He's an awesome guitarist. I saw Govt Mule live earlier this year, and they were great. I can't speak from personal experience, but someone I trust said the recording on this is not great. He didn't say it was terrible, but again, just ok. | |
| McIntosh C2200 vs Shindo Aurieges for Shindo Monti The Aurieges price would depend on which version you need. The L version is LINE Stage only, while the MM has built in phono. | |
| Montreal vs Toronto for Vinyl shopping Thanks- Acoustic Sounds still has I'm New Here in stock. Albert- Beatnik is no Aux 33, but it's a pretty good shop. It's right on St Denis, off Mont Royal, where of course Aux is located. I tried 3-4 more shops in Montreal, and they were a big let... | |
| Montreal vs Toronto for Vinyl shopping Yes Albert- I have had some nice finds there. Most recently a nice copy of The Beach Boys: Sunflower. It's an Orange label, and appears to be an early pressing. They also specialize in Japanese LP's. I believe Pierre (the owner) has a nice connect... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? HEART on 7/27. The whole band is in fine form. Especially Ann, who looks fantastic. I thought they were great. Only a tad over 90 minutes, but no filler. Well worth the price of admission. Dayglow- I hear you about Steely Dan. I was glad I saw the... |
