| Best of "Dead Can Dance"? Kenl; I like DCD too, and I think Labyrinth is my favorite. And if you like them, are you familiar with the CDs by Enigma? There are 5, and not a bad one in the bunch. I don't even know how to describe their music except to say that it's mostly pe... | |
| Rosemary Clooney / Shirley Horn / Peggy Lee Hi Sean; I agree with Drubin re a good Shirley Horn CD, but would also recommend her "Ultimate" CD also on the Verve label. This CD has a variety of Ms. Horn's songs, but I love the ballads especially-- she does "Estate" on this CD too. In the Ult... | |
| Have CD Recorders changed your listening habits? Hi Doug; I had a TT for about 3 weeks a year ago and I did burn a couple of LPs to CD. I used the tape loop out(s) on my pre-aqmp as a source-- worked well. Of course I still ended up with "pops and ticks" on the CD;>)As long as your CD player ... | |

| A'gon transactions: When is it legit to quit? Tk4; Yeah, I agree with the others-- a very strange thing for someone to do. Being charitable, you could say his inexperience and lack of common sense, not to mention courtesy leaves a lot to be desired.Ed; take yourself off the hook and have a Bu... | |
| Need advise for my current system....... I'm with Artemus, Stehno, and Glen on this one;>) (seriously). Cheers. Craig | |
| Raining on My Parade... TTs are supposed to pop, like Model A Fords backfire aren't they? Sorry, couldn't help it-- just slipped out. I'll leave you guys alone;>) Cheers. Craig | |
| OK to place amp on top of subwoofer? I think Jeff is right on. A sub would somewhere between "most likely and surely" raise hell with the musical character of the standard amp for sure-- and possibly the sub too. It even makes me shudder to think about it. Steve McCormack and many ot... | |
| s.s. preamp matchup to mccomack dna1 rev.a Bigwave; I use an SF Line 2 with a McCormack DNA2 Rev.A (Vand. 5 spkrs.) and don't find the combination soft at all-- laid back yes, but also pretty neutral and dynamic. It's my guess that it's more likely an interconnect or speaker cable issue in... | |
| Have CD Recorders changed your listening habits? Over the years I've had various cassette recorders too, and made many a tape from LPs. But this digital recording stuff is different, eg for some reason it gives me a tremendous sense of power or control that I've never experienced before with rec... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! This thread "has legs". I see my last post was in '00. Rc and Gregm; being retired, I have found time to BOTH listen for pleasure each day, and STILL obsess over such things as clean power, vibration control etc. and to that end have lately been a... | |
| Mark Levinson No.36 DAC The 36 is an excellent DAC, especially for the now used price. And built like a tank. Cheers. Craig | |
| Weirdest Question asked when selling gear? Not a question per se' but a MAJOR pet peeve perhaps-- exceptionally picky, anal buyers, and paranoids . SOME BUYERS INSIST ON MINT, NEAR NEW, PERFECT, MINIMUM A'GON 9/10 CONDITION, AND THEY WANT IT FOR 1/2 OFF RETAIL, THEN WANT TO HAGGLE YOU DOWN... | |
| Stereophile looses Jonathan Scull I'm with Trelja in that I really would like to see Stereophile succeed long term and return to what made it quite good. I too miss Dick Olsher-- bought my first good tube pre-amp 'cuz of him. Also TJN-- pretty straight laced, but also no nonsense ... | |
| Amp play a low volumes? This has been an interesting thread-- thanks Jcd. I think I "re-learned" some things I had forgotten, re Sean and Twl. But that still doesn't explain why my (past Vand. 3As) sounded good at low Vol., but Vand. 5s don't.Sean may have hit it though,... |
