| What do you NEVER want to hear again??? michael jackson- "thriller" et al. | |
| Coolest looking speaker ever ? get a goldmund catalog and turn to the loudspeaker page.you'll see a series of boxes on a "tree" stand- all mechanically grounded. that pushes all my buttons, except that it's a very large array and would require a room that probably would have to... | |
| I'm frustrated with people who don't ... the other day i had an accomplished finger-style guitarist over to help me unpack some speakers. i asked him to sitdown for a few minutes before we began weightlifting, andlisten to a cd i had on w/classical guitar playing bach.i could hear the at... | |
| Speakers you regret selling walnut ads L-810-II's with stands- sold them to a friend at work for $300. he painted them black the next day- got quite a bit of paint on the metal grills too. i had a quiet fit by myself when i got home. incredible speakers (separation of instru... | |
| vpi jmw tonarm rust yes rust no rust here, but the damping oil for the jmw arm attracted some (desparate) ants- quite a few of them. i got rid of the oil and rubbed a little black flag on my precious plinth!i hope this doesn't screw up the sound too much... i don't want to be... | |
| Record cleaning vs Last Record Preservative i have a huge dark brown bottle of last presevative which smells like a petroleum-dirivative. once upon a time, i put it on a few alblums (following directions as best as i could) and after playing ONE SIDE of the record i had to clean a black tar... | |
| Correlation: Money and Good Sound you get what you pay for- sort of. i.e., i had a hafler300w/ch amp which was much better than a denon amp that it replaced- smoother sounding. but then i lugged home a levinson 23 (200w/ch)-used that was going for a good price.it took 5 minutes to... | |
| Your favorite J.S. Bach 1.the art of fugue-zoltan koscis, piano/philips cd. not a great recording though, but i like the tempo.2.hilary hahn does a (very) nice job on the violin sonatas/partitas and the recording is 1st rate (sony). | |
| Transport for a Levinson 36S DAC proceed pdt-2 or pdt-3, if you can get one, is built like a tank, has very high quality ins and outs, and led the madrigal assault on cdp's before the introduction of the ml #30/#31 (extremely expensive). the pdt looks like a grey bread box though. | |
| I Hardly Listen to Music Anymore i hesitate to admit it, but, while i like to listen to music fairly often, because of the length of most cds, i'll listen to one classical and one jazz/popular cd per session, afterwhich, 100 minutes later, i'm ready to do something else.plus, oft... | |
| Memories........What made you catch the Audio Bug? in a word- reel to reel tape recorders; i.e.-sony/concord/ampex/scully/rogers/teac-tascam/magnacord/crown/revox-studer/stella/nagra/otari... | |
| Wilson Maxx 2 mr. owl,if you didn't like the maxx-I you're not going to like the maxx-II any better. wilson's are appropriately priced IF the sound they make is your cup of tea (as the build quality is the best there is), but they are grossly overpriced if that... | |
| How Revealing Should a System Be? several years ago i bought a jvc boombox for the bedroom on sale (am/fm/cd/cassette). i would play hendrix, led zeppelin, madonna, boston, as well as jazz and classical from time to time.on rock recordings the stereo imaging was incredible, andthe... | |
| Whats the krell sound? i had an fpb-300 amp that1. worked perfectly/looked great2. threw a big 3d stage3. sounded quite good, except that compared to a pass aleph amp, had a slight silvery top end, not unpleasant in any way, but wasn't as transparent as the pass. otoh, ... |
