| what is everybody listening to right now Hi Danvetc; Yep, Etta James, "Life, Love, and the Blues" is one of my favorites-- also Mark Knoppfler's "Golden Heart". My daughter is a BIG Lyle Lovett fan, and I like some of his music. Cheers. Craig. | |
| Best and Worst customer service? Douglas Brown, Tech. Rep. @ Sonic Frontiers is excellent. Cheers. Craig. | |
| what is everybody listening to right now Nilthepill-- I suspect it was me that recommended "Car Wheels....", trks #7 and #12 'cuz I do use them as references. The vocals on trk#7 seem "distant", but the rest of the trk has great soundstaging with instruments and percussion exploding all ... | |
| Who R U? Hi Redkiwi, Hdm, John_1; Nice to meet you on this thread and read your bio-info. I'm a big Junior Wells and Buddy guy fan also, and Hoodoo Man Blues is great-- listened to it last night. I saw Buddy Guy live several years ago. He's a tremendous pe... | |
| 5 ultimate songs on CDs 2die4. Martin; I suspect you haven't gotten a lot of response to this question because to answer it is thought provoking, time consuming, and very difficult. If you asked me this next week, I would likely come up with a different list. That said, my favo... | |
| Vinyl vs. CD Doug; I did consider the mis-match possibility and discussed it with a pretty knowledgeable Audio Advisor Rep. The TT came with the Goldring cartridge ($175.)installed and adjusted, but my vinyl junkie friend also checked it for me. I also got the... | |
| Vinyl vs. CD Hi Rockvirgo & TM12; I just looked up the definition of ANALOG in a new Webster's New World Dictionary. Definition #3 follows: "designating or of electronic equipment, recordings, etc. in which the signal corresponds to a physical change, as s... | |
| Vinyl vs. CD Hi Gmorris; We were posting at the same time, so I missed your comment. No, I would not be satisfied with a $500. CD player after having my present system. But you don't have to spend as much on an analog system to equal HQ CD--IMHO, eg I think Do... | |
| Vinyl vs. CD Hi Mar00; Sorry, I didn't mean to sort of "take over" your thread, but at least all the above is "on topic", and I hope useful to you. John_1; I too had a new LP of CJs "The Trinity Session" and with the MMF-5 TT it had excessive "white noise" tha... | |
| Vinyl vs. CD Doug; seems we've been here before. And I post the following respectfully. I really like my digital system too and would be willing to "put it up against any comparably priced analog system", but in reality, how do we make this bold comparison. Ha... | |
| Vinyl vs. CD Mar00; I just finished doing essentially the same thing you did-- and we're probably going to get "roasted" on this. I bought an MMF-5 TT and Musical Fidelity Phono pre-amp (M. Fremer of STPH, and Listener Mag. both highly recommended this TT). I ... | |
| Best of value-based systems Hi Sd; despite what Sluggo suggests, I've never considered HQ audio a "race"-- it's a personal quest for HQ audio to me; and I've bought both new and used. D99 and Trelja(above) have pretty good lists. I'd just add Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 pre-amp-- ... | |
| Conrad johnson vs. Mccormack Hi Korgwave; Good advice in above posts by G13, John_1, and Lags..... This subject has been discussed a lot here on Audiogon. I agree with (and use) a tube pre-amp (SF Line 2) and SS amp (McCormack DNA-2DX). It's a great combination-- I like the S... | |
| need help on choosing right power cord! Hi Hunglo; I use a Syn. Res. Master Coupler (SR/MC) on my McCormack DNA-2DX with good results. If you don't already know it, The DNA-2 amps use the larger 20 amp receptacle, and not all power cords are available in the 20 amp configuration. I had ... | |
| Who R U? Swampwalker-- yes, eerie to have two "hole diggers" on this site. I've done a few wetland determinations myself. Sdcampbell-- glad to see I'm not quite the "old fart" of the forum. Too bad about the Dawgs this year (a worthy opponent). Yes, I'm a ... |
