| Did you hear Adele at the Grammy's? I think Adele is fabulous. One of my favorite modern voices. But I was shocked at the Grammy performance. It was her worst televised performance ever. I would like to say it was a mic problem, but what I heard was off key for much of the song. The... | |
| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? Sorry avdweeb--been a while. I haven't heard the AVA components and, although I've heard Prima Luna at shows, it was not at length and not enough to form an opinion. I would say that if you pair the Wells up with a nice tube preamp, you will not b... | |
| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? As a dyed in the wool tube fan--the ONLY amp would consider purchasing (under 30k) is the Wells Innomorata. I heard it with Salks in one system and Claravus in another. The closest to tubes I have ever heard. It's also a very nice looking amp IMHO. | |
| Audio Research discontinuing lower lines components? I would not be surprised if ARC lost a fortune in the past year due mainly to the total confusion generated by the introduction of the GS series to "sit alongside" or below the Reference series. Sometimes they even sit above the Ref series---like ... | |
| I am sick of Adele Very cool toddnkaya. Shows it's a good tune. | |
| Gene Simmons says the rock business is dead You are right oblgny. Must have been the 22" of snow that kept me caged and edgy. | |
| Gene Simmons says the rock business is dead We lost David Bowie and Glen Frey but Yoko and Gene Simmons are still alive. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I tried the Ct1s in my system and thought they were outstanding re width of the soundstage, transparency, location of each instrument in its own space--imaging. In fact, I cannot imagine any cable, regardless of cost (with the exception of HFC mor... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Knghifi. Did you place 6.3a 250v fuses in the ref 250 as per Warren Gehl? | |
| Is it really night and day I agree with JMcGrogan. Since most people on this forum (me included) are constantly listening for ANY improvement to their systems, when we hear a marked improvement (ie 15 percent vs, say, 10 percent), we call that night and day. | |
| Onzow Zero Dust - cleaning the cleaner I use it and wash it with mild soap and water. I find it to be very effective. That and my Destat, Demag and Audiodeske System cleaner constitute my standard vinyl hygiene routine. | |
| The one piece of gear you will never sell My Marantz 2270 receiver which I use only as a tuner in an all modern Audio Research/Wilson Sasha system. But that is purely for sentimental reasons---looks, sound and the fact that I purchased it in 1971 as a phase out for $209.00 and it was my r... | |
| Nordost Odin or Valhalla 2 I have never thought Nordost cables were perfectly neutral. To my ears, in certain applications, they can lack body and natural warmth and sound hifi-ish. In other applications, they can sound very nice. But they are not my favorite flavor. Of cou... | |
| Recording Quality and Different Studios martinmanAs much as I like the staff at Music Direct, I have never understood the company's stubborn refusal to properly pack vinyl for shipping. Acoustic Sounds creates that cardboard slope at each end of the vinyl cardboard package which absorb ... | |
