| Anyone remember The Warehouse? Bdgregory: Yes, San Luis Obispo. I couldn't think of the city in California. I believe you're right, it was called Warehouse Sound. I really loved their assembled systems concept and components. It was the only store I knew of that carried such a ... | |
| Mcintosh integrated I use to have the 6900. It was one-dimensional in my system and lacking as far as involvement. But, everything(and I mean everything) is system dependent so don't go by my experiences. In your room, with your speakers and source it could be a diff... | |
| Unable to audition used speakers a problem In the used market you often do your research and by without auditioning. That's the way it happens. When selling I usually often end up packing speakers up ahead of time because I may have a new pair in house. I really don't like to have people I... | |
| Godfather of soul is gone. Oregon: you can see quite a bit of vintage James footage at Youtube.com. Also take a look at this website:http://www.greatest-jamesbrown-videotradinglist.com/ | |
| Get Power Conditioner -downgrade my expensive PCs? Hi Tvad, as a fellow Audiogoner, I have read many of your posts and you always seem to give very good advice in this insanity we call a hobby. I may be looking to purchase a new cdp soon. My system is currently a DK Signature integrated, all Acous... | |
| If you had to pay full retail, would you...??? No, the equipment I buy now as opposed to when I started is more than I would spend retail. If it weren't for Audiogon and the contacts I've made with dealers where I've gotten some stuff almost at cost and plus the used stuff I purchased from Ago... | |
| Godfather of soul is gone. I saw James in concert several times in my youth at the old Sports Arena in Toledo OH. He always put on one helluva show. His band was "tight" and "sharp". Some of his live performances are legendary and his moves were speedy, powerful and untouch... | |
| Best James Brown CD? There is more than one Live at the Apollo. There is volume I and II. The best is Live at the Apollo V. II. | |
| Integrated amp reccomendations Yes, I highly recommend the V8i. It is a great bargain offering substantial build quality and smooth sonics top to bottom. Referring to the Plinius, i'm referring to a somewhat lean bass. A little lacking in fullness. | |
| Integrated amp reccomendations I don't know why you eliminated the Dussun V8i from consideration. It's 1600 new, with a 30 day money back. It is warm and full sounding. I had the NAD M3- it also has a warm quality and smooth sound and offers great flexibility. (has tone control... | |
| Musical fidelity A5 or Dussun V8I integrated? You will have to watch closely and wait a while to see a V8i in the classifieds. I have seen them once or twice over the past year. I had one home for audition that I returned after the 30 day period. I did not return it because it lacked quality;... | |
| Integrated amp reccomendations I also recommend the Dussun V8i. Nothing hard sounding there. It'smooth and powerful. As Erider says-what do you have to lose with the 30 day money back guarantee? It's a lot more amp than it should be for $1600. Just change out the stock preamp j... | |
| First song to "Blow You Away"... I'm 52 and can no longer remember the fisrt song to blow me away. It's been too many years and too many songs. The mention of Tommy James and the Shondells does bring to mind "Crystal Blue Persuasion." | |
| Subwoofer w/ most SPL's For Music Only System Thanks Tvad: I tried the ACI Titan II LE. And it is high quality and seamless. The only drawback for me was that in my system and room it was too light in the low end. | |
| Need integrated for Tyler linbrook Signature For a solid state integrated, I can hightly recommend the NAD M3. It is powerful and in my setup was somewhat analog, definitely not bright. If you feel the need to use tone controls on some recordings it provides those. I never used them on my M3... |
