| If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living? I don't suppose anyone is interested in great performances in classical, opera, cantorial or traditional jazz that I want to hear/see again. | |
| Tweaks you got rid of because they were not effective (enough)? I just want to touch upon tweaks that did nothing or were bad, not equipment or cabling which I do not consider tweaks Green pens for CDs (did nothing?)/Use Walker Talisman instead Ferrite cores on speaker cables and power cords-so... | |
| Versatile, non-fatiguing speakers for a small room under $1500 used or new: advice needed! I've seen two pairs of Legacy Signature IIIs go for under $1500 (and mine cost $1600 10+ years ago). They are extremely easy to power, have huge dynamics and deep, tight bass. They also have a rear ambience retrieval tweeter. They have driver a... | |
| Advice on CD transport I have a related question. I am using my EAR Acute as a transport for my COS Engineering DV2 DAC. Does replacing the EAR with a standalone transport improve my sound? If so, what transport would significantly make an improvement? A Luxman, M... | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? @tyray Yes, Elizete Cardoso sang beautifully and I have many albums from the 50's/60's Brazilian song and jazz. An earlier Brazilian favorite of mine is Elsie Houston. who had a very wide vocal range (she trained with 2 tremendous sopranos) and ... | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? @ sondeknz Julie London had a small voice and occasional pitch problems. She still sounded very sexy. As to a female performance which always gives me goose bumps/makes me cry is Beverly Sills in The Ballad of Baby Doe. There are five fabulo... | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? @ sondeknz My mistake, you didn't mention Garland. I heard Stacey Kent. A small, thin sounding voice. I prefer fuller sounding voices with a wider frequency range. Judith Durham was okay, had pitch problems when she sang. I might as well ... | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? davidm238 Only my sister would agree with you (collects all Streisand since she was a child). | |
| Poor Fritz Fritz never said that his speakers were perfect and flawless. Only a few manufacturers have told me that at shows and their speakers generally were very imperfect. Fritz builds really nice smaller speakers for a reasonable price. | |
| Speakers which always sound good Maggies do not always sound good. They require proper amplification (ample), otherwise they sound anemic. Placement is also critical. Hence, not universally good sounding unlike a Harbeth. Great speaker potential though when set up and power are ... | |
| Speakers which always sound good Extensive auditioning of Harbeths-always sounded good with all types of music, equipment and easy to set up and pair up to equipment. Von Schweikert for not making a less than musical speaker but requires more effort than a Harbeth to get them s... | |
| What's your favorite boutique speaker maker Von Schweikert, Lumen White, Volti. Would Harbeth be considered a boutique speaker manufacturer? Never heard a less than musically interesting speaker from these manufacturers. | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? Opera - Claudia Muzio Rosa Ponselle Roberta PetersPop - Ruth Etting Ella Fitzgerald Judy Garland@ sondeknz The question was top 3, not a list of 90. I have 42,000 LPs/78s/CDs. I chose my top three from recordings dating back ... | |
| Poor Fritz I've met Fritz at several audio shows. He is a very nice man. I enjoyed listening to his speakers. I would compare them to Harbeths (smaller ones). I am not in the market for mini-monitor type speakers but I can recommend them based on what I... | |
| Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon? I propose Kenjit as the poster who best exemplifies your description. |
