| Studio gear vs. Hi-Fi gear Is Hi-Fi a ripoff? Rayhall, Since your father produced what was probably the greatest recorded sound of all time, namely "Music For Bang BaaRoom and Harp" (No greater recorded Concert Hall venue sound exists, in my opinion), I would tend to believe anything you migh... | |
| Walking that fine line: What would you do ? Sean,If the Power amp that you sent out, made you FEEL like the music was moving you, and the musicality rate was at a higher, more soul satisfying level, IT is the amp to use.To hell with added detail and accuracy. It is really that simple. When ... | |
| Spades or bananas Funny thing, Detlof. Alot of what Enid stated back when she was writing, holds absolutely true today. What incredible resolving power her ears had. All this when the entire field considered her lunatic. She is responsible for things like component... | |
| "Stacked" Advents hookup Hi Sunnyjim, The parallel hookup was the way I did it when I had them. I did not invert the top pair. The bass of the setup was pretty good and the overall impression was positive of the setup from memory. How they would sound to me today is anoth... | |
| Spades or bananas Hi Eastside, You read it correct. While the Thomas & Betts fork added unnatural artifacts to the sound, the MIT fork did the opposite. It dulled the sound and robbed the system of the NATURAL sound of the reference. The reference being the sou... | |
| Boy am I glad no one bought my albums Rdr4b, The Janos Starker Bach on Mercury Golden Imports (reissue label) that I own,is the greatest Cello recording with the truest image size of the insrument that I have ever heard. As far as Janos Starker is concerned, what can we say about the ... | |
| best budget integrated amp for rock n roll music? No question in my mind. The Cambridge audio integrated is good enough to run $15000.00 speakers within its 65 watt rating. I can live with this item happily if nothing else existed. And I really mean it.............Frank | |
| What speaker to replace ESL 63? Thanks Jtinn. Always thought highly of the Astree label also | |
| Spades or bananas There is no question that I can hear the detrimental effects of a spade fork terminal on my equipment. The first time I knew there were problems, was when Brisson/MIT released the first super high quality gold spade. I saw they were adaptable to 2... | |
| What speaker to replace ESL 63? Jtinn, I respect your opinion of what you heard vs the ESL-63, but I must state as matter of fact, that there is no speaker on this planet, that I have ever listened to, including Infinity IRS-Vs, that I can honestly say is any better than the Qua... | |
| Luxman T-117 Tuner Hello Simply music, I hate to disagree with you, but the $1500.00 Luxman 5T50, of the 1978 Luxman LRS series, was one of the worst sounding tuners in Lux history. The very best Lux tuners were the 1976 T-110U, T-310, and T-88V. The LRS series repr... | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" Gpalmer , the DVM to own, is made by FLUKE. The industry standard | |
| "I am there" vs. "They are here" Detlof, Great mention of a great Impulse recording. "Swing Low Sweet Cadillac" is Dizzy at some of his most memorable. Dont be afraid to get the remastered CD version in the LP styled box. It is very well done. Sorry to drift off topic, but this i... | |
| Crosby, Stills & Nash Album Deju Vu The very first Deja Vu pressing on Atlantic came with a very DARK Brown cover. In my opinion, "4+20" sounds bigger and better on this than MO-FI, But MO-FI is definitely better than the later lighter brown colored covers....Frank | |
| What have you been listening to these five weeks? Radka Toneff/Fairytales CD on ODIN records (Norway 1986). About as far away from our current world situation that can be imagined. More a transport to an unearthly delight (sonically too) than I should have a right to experience, at this troubled ... |
