| Hottest Wife or World's Best System?? I see this as as an age related thing, and I'd go for Hot Wife from age 21 to 22, Best System from age 22 to 88. By then hearing will be gone, so die in a bordello at age 105. | |
| The best and worst Audiogon poster's John_1: thanks for the kind words. But you've got to know that YOU too are certainly a credit to this forum for your indomitable sense of humor and open mind. I've got to say that adding adding Carl to your "good" list is a class act-- and I agree... | |
| Album of the year? Emmyloy Harris' "Red Dirt Girl" is growing on me. Not everybody likes the heavily processed sound though. Cheers. | |
| need reasonable preamp w/headphone Don't know what you mean by "reasonable", but Sonic Frontiers Line 1 (and all Line series pre-amps) has an excellent headphone out, ie they have Headroom circuitry. The Line 1 can be had used for $12-1400. This pre-amp also has excellent full func... | |
| Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio) A fun thread John. AUDIOGON chat for the last year!!! As an old coot (57), I've been through a lot of hobbies & interests over the years. Trout fishing when I was poor(er); White water rafting and later kayaking; Dune Buggies and dirt bikes (H... | |
| Vandersteen 3A sigs amp advice please ...got to agree with John_1. The Vandersteen 3As are great with McCormack amplifiers. I've used the DNA.5, DNA-1DX, and presently the DNA-2DX, and I strongly recommend the the DNA-2DX. BTW, R. Vandersteen and Steve McCormack used to exhibit togeth... | |
| HiFi is an opinion - nothing more Larry: Like Woody Gutherie-- "I don't wanna die......just want to hear my Hiiiiiii - Fii. Or was it Arlo Gutherie? Cheers. Craig. | |
| HiFi is an opinion - nothing more After reading this highly volitile thread (trolling are we?), and BEFORE reading the responses, I pretty much had the same thoughts as expressed in the above posts. Will DNA2 monos fit in a beetle? Vand. 3As? Cheers. Craig | |
| Love of MUSIC or love of GEAR Interesting thread and posts. And a great comment above-- I've been a "starving audiophile" too-- Mungo Love big amps, heh heh heh. | |
| Attention Deficit Disorder Audiophilia If there were just remote controls for wives, you could..... | |
| How did U get into this expensive hobby? Jadem6; wasn't really responding to you-- more to Leafs, but I do agree that to the end user, ie you and me, that it really is "about the music". But, IMO, Audiogon is much more narrowly focused on "gear" that makes recorded music great, ie that's... | |
| How did U get into this expensive hobby? It's very clear to me that Audiogon is almost entirely a web site whose main goal is to enable and promote the buying and selling of high end audio GEAR-- and the discussion of same. Audiogon is not a music site, and in the "chat forum", there is ... | |
| Sonic Frontiers Preamps - Cold & thin? Hi Kevziek; We once clashed on a thread, but I'm over that, and I hope you are too. I like your thread. I've owned or auditioned (in home) all the SF pre-amps you mention. And I presently use the SF Line 2 in my main system, along with a sweet sou... | |
| How did U get into this expensive hobby? Leafs; your spiteful, negative post was totally uncalled for and definitely out of line. If anyone has "ruined" this thread, it will have been you. As to 3Chihuahuas' thread, I had been out of audio for 10-15 years, when I was walking through the ... | |
| High Fidelity Sex Objects Cwlondon; I'll play. I just purchased a 2nd McCormack DNA2DX amplifier to have them converted to mono-blocs. I talked to Steve McCormack (before 2nd purchase), and he told me that when the two channels of this amp are bridged it will "put out" an ... |
