| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one “It is very tough to beat Pass. People trying with all these boutique brands, but nothing has the “guts”!”While I happen to be a fan of Pass Labs, it is often times the “boutique” brands that push the envelope and innovate. As a matter of fact, I ... | |
| Medium-priced balanced interconnects for a 6 meter run XLR isn’t presently available in the Coppertone line. | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. Why the insults @sleepwalker65? Have you listened to Robert Glasper? He is an amazing talent, deeply respected in both jazz and hip-hop circles.Your assertions about all rappers/hip-hop artists being thugs/criminals/shooters is absurd. Check out ... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. @chakster @sleepwalker65Your assertions are unfair and inaccurate. I am a rather waspy (without the p) late 50’s music and audio lover. Hip hop is every bit as relevant to those who enjoy the genre as anything you like. For you to take a swipe at ... | |
| Happy 4th of July Those same founding fathers eschewed politics in favor of the greater good of all. They also founded a country where the minority opinion was to be protected at all costs. With the exception of slavery, they were indeed a pretty wise and valiant g... | |
| Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank @nonoise LOL...I just get tired of the double-blind fans yelling from the left field bleachers. | |
| Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank @nonoise I agree with you completely. I admit as well to purchasing premium unleaded gasoline! Hi-end coffee on occasion without knowing if I got the best coffee at the best price. I don't have a clue if the vehicle I drive is approved or not by C... | |
| Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank No disrespect intended, everyone has good intentions, but are people recommending cables because they have heard them with the equipment he lists or because the cables worked for them on unrelated equipment?The OP can buy what they want, I get tha... | |
| Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank @tcatchIt might make a difference but since the original poster his/her amplifier is completely single ended, the xlr question is kindof moot in this case. If you want advice, start a thread, list your equipment and sit back and relax. Someone or ... | |
| Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank Cardas cables are a fine recommendation. The Coppertone is also a fine recommendation. Consider the Acoustic BBQ line of cable as well for a fairly priced alternative. Many with your amplifier have found nirvana with the Auditorium A23 speaker cab... | |
| Anyone at the Devore Fidelity Event? @keithr Hi Keith, wish I still lived on the west coast, I would have been there. Did you hear enough to make you want to hear more? | |
| Why No McIntosh Recommendations? @noromance “@noble100 said it! I find the stuff pretty ghastly to look at -the green LEDs lighting up the small signal tubes being the nail in the coffin.”the green lights under the tubes remind of the Happy Days episode where the Fonz jumped his ... | |
| Why No McIntosh Recommendations? @lalitk That's terrific news. And I'm a fan of Audio Research but its unfortunate it took this long to roll in with a modern digital implementation. McIntosh seems to shoot themselves in the foot digitally by their repeated USB failures. Firmware ... | |
| Why No McIntosh Recommendations? @tlong1958By all means, start any thread you like. I don't own Audio Research gear presently but I have, like McIntosh, owned some in the past, very recently as a matter of fact. While you didn't mention in what role you worked at the dealer, "exp... | |
| Why No McIntosh Recommendations? Jeez, McIntosh is fine equipment. So is Bryston, Simaudio, Pass Labs, T+A, CH Precision, Dartzeel, Nagra, Naim, ASR, Sugden, Luxman, Levinson, Burmester, Chord, etc, etc. on the solid state side of things.If you love what you have and it happens t... |
