| New Component Upgrade Success Rate I've had two new items returned in my journey so far because I could. Others were sideways improvements meaning different not necessarily better. These items were bought used and I stuck with them but that was a good thing. It helped to get the ex... | |
| Tubeyist sounding Pre-amp? I have a Quicksilver full function preamp that can be tubey depending on tubes. I love mine and it's fun and easy to play with tweaking it. It's gonna run you north of 500 hundred but likely less than 1k. I've had mine for 5 years and it's been tr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks guys for the thoughtful and thought provoking responses and warm welcome. I’m not sure I agree with the frogman’s SD assessment of their musical craft being of a different order. But it’s one I shared prior to listening to MD. More listenin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus 10, I have the record as well and I'm pretty sure it's an original pressing. It was giving to me as a gift by a well intentioned family member who got it from a store I think is called Urban Outfitters selling "curated used vinyl" Good vin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I kinda feel like I might be buttin in here, but hey do you guys think Spyro Gyra is jazz. I'm not sure myself and don't think it is to some. But I was just listening to Morning Dance and am pretty surprisingly impressed with the production, it's ... | |
| ________ is an artist I did not expect to like but was pleasantly surprised. Harry James | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? I like a puff here and there myself but a nice cup of coffee done right is what floats my boat. Less occasionally a pale ale of some kind. Going out to see live music is the almost the reverse order with coffee a distant third place. All done with... | |
| Entry Level Interconnect Reccomendations ocinn, I can't help with that question, no experience. If your worried about Stager's being thin and they are, no problem with returning them. I'd love to know what your experience turns out to be whether it's Belden, Stager or something else in t... | |
| Entry Level Interconnect Reccomendations i have the Stager's and love them but that's in warmer tube system. That Belden 8402 cable suggestion seems reasonable and what I would try. There is a 1m pair terminated for way under budget and terminated professionally. In fact buy that We16ga ... | |
| Ry Cooder recommendation... Showtime is also worth picking up. | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables A lot of excellent recommendations that I'm sure sound excellent. It's gonna come down to what your looking to get from a cable. My experience with classic anti-cable was very positive. Very clean but a little lean. But this was to good effect in ... | |
| Best Capacitors for Crossovers @grannyring is that Duelund wire part# 81415? | |
| Your first component that was "special" My first feeling of stumbling onto something special was the result of a combination of a well mastered reissue of Miles’ My funny Valentine and Jobim’s and Getz’s samba record that when I played them through some Mirage Omnisat speakers in parral... | |
| Favorite guitar players not named...... John Abercrombie I just recently became aware of him via The Plot record by Enrico Rava. I look forward to getting into his discography. His style is kinda of an airy, kinda trippy, minimalist jazzy otherworldly deal but still swings. At last it i... | |
| Tell Us about an Album That Took a Long Time to Grow on You I just recently, yesterday actually, put on Ornette's-This is our Music. I am really surprised how much I enjoyed it. Especially considering how I felt about it over 7 years ago when I first picked it up. Id listen to it only very occasionally to ... |
