| Death of Rock 'n' Roll Thank you bdp24 for the availability of current Country/Americana that I would enjoy listening to. There are some old performers locally in Ventura County that my friend Robert hears all the time. I like the mix of blues with country. I like rock ... | |
| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? I have the so called "easy to drive" Legacy Focus speakers because of their high 98 db efficiency. But their low impedance (subsequent 20/20s were more difficult to drive) and 4 ohm preference make them difficult to drive. Maybe it's their 3 12"... | |
| Death of Rock 'n' Roll After the 60's-80's generation of rock and roll dies, there is no new rock n'roll. For me, rock n'roll (new music/musicians) died in 1995 when producers began the loudness wars (compression, etc). in recordings. No imagination or new music (well... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat I suggest that the Omega E-Mats and my other power filtering considerations such as my Bryston BIT 20 isolation transformer work mostly on the last mile type of power pollution, those emanating from the equipment themselves. I'm hoping that the G... | |
| Reel to reel Yes, I agree that the Technics 1200 is an average machine, competent but not extraordinary. I liked it more than most machines from the 1970s and 1980s like Duals, Rotels, Miracords, BSRs, Garrards, etc. It is a good test unit for universal use ... | |
| Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player I've sold at least a dozen mid-fi pieces of equipment in mint condition including McIntosh MX110, Fisher 1000 preamp, Acoustat Xs, 2&2s, Martin Logan Quest and Monolith IIIs. The reason, I purchased something I liked better. I did purchase m... | |
| Reel to reel And what am I going to play on a nice Studer, my own recordings, or buy some $500 reissues? Maybe you're very wealthy, but even my friends with $850,000 and $1,200,000 audio system/rooms don't play RR. One is analog only and the other has digita... | |
| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? Magicos, Wilsons, YGs suck up power but don't sound as musically interesting as even cheap Maggies. I like Maggies too but I'm drawn to more conventional dynamic speakers that have dynamics more like horns and resolution more like electrostats. ... | |
| Differences between cd transports? I heard my friend's new DAC from COS Engineering and it blew away my EAR Acute. Using a 1998 Pioneer DV-5 DVD player with a dual laser for the spinner, the DAC increased the enjoyment of listening by improved bass, dynamics, soundstage, imaging, ... | |
| Reel to reel Cartridges that sound different does not mean wrong. There are bigger differences in high end speakers $100,000+. Solid state versus Tube, my Tandberg versus my Technics RR, an Ampex 300 versus a Revox or Teac RR. They all sound significantly d... | |
| Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player Well, I’ve taken the road in between. I purchase ICs, A/C and speaker cables that sell for $300 to $900 from the manufacturer GroverHuffman.com (as a beta tester, I auditioned 100s of cables from his and other companies). I would rather $5,000 on ... | |
| Reel to reel My experience is that many CDs kill the LP versions. Columbia classical is one label that excels on CD. Example, Mitropoulos conducting Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet. Original first stamper and later stamper Columbia, Odyssey reissue, first CD iss... | |
| Reel to reel Some of the best sounding mono LPs were made using 1/2" tape and/or 30 ips speed tape. For acoustic music, the simpler the microphone setup, the better (2 or 3 mikes back in the late 50s and early 60s). | |
| Reel to reel I own a Tandberg 9000x and a Technics 1500, 1/4 and 1/2 track 3 speed. I have made choral recordings using the Tandberg that sound fantastically lifelike. I also own many direct discs, some of which were recorded with some hall ambiance and also... | |
| Reasonable but not outragious interconnects Used Grover Huffman ICs with the ZX or EX designation are excellent choices if you can find them. The Empress and new Pharoahs are 5X and 10X your price range but the ZX and EX have most of the newer technology. |
