| I need a recording with a good drum solo . Slipknot1, thank you. I'll definitely look into those recommendations. When percussion and drums are done right and played back on a hirez setup, it can be down right spooky.I never had the chance to see Ondekoza or Kodo live, but I've managed to ... | |
| Tube Preamps under $1000 used Damn Marco!!! The way you love your tubes I'll bet you gotta clean 'em after every listen! Be cautious when downloading any pics of 6922s. Pete Townshend got in big trouble for downloading those little buggers.Cmidnight, I used to own Concertinos ... | |
| Tube Preamps under $1000 used Cmidnight, if you think you'd find a soft glowing blue circle, large round cherry knobs and a pair of 6SN7 tubes sexy, I'd suggest the Blue Circle BC21 as well. Sugarbrie knows I love mine. | |
| Brahms and Tchaikovsky Ahh, this is good stuff to know. One of my favorite pieces is Tchaikowsky's Piano Concerto No.1. I also enjoy Rachmaninoff, Scriabin and Mussorgsky as well. Thanks. | |
| I need a recording with a good drum solo . Slipknot1, you're on to some cool stuff. A friend of mine here in the Los Angeles area was trained by members of Ondekoza many years back and is one of the directors of her own troupe called Zendeko. The Rhythm Devils CD is neat too. I also think ... | |
| Musical Sub Suggestions In addition to the above statements, I think your wife will appreciate the looks of the REL as well. | |
| Best bi-wire speaker cables under $1000 Hi Bryan, after trying Analysis Plus Bi-Oval 9 and Virtual Dynamics Audition Biwired, I now am enjoying great success with biwired Acoustic Zen Hologram II. Although I only have about three weeks on them, I can say they are very full sounding with... | |
| A pair of "warm sounding"6922 tub I've tried a few different Siemens 6922s and CCas, but eventually settled on the much cheaper Mullards. The Siemens were very transparent with extended highs, but sounded too lean in my system. The Mullards have a much fuller character with a slig... | |
| Aleph 3/30 Owners: What preamp do you use? Crazy4blues, I've never owned a tube amp, but considering the three amps I've tried recently it seems we have similar goals. The Aleph, Blue Circle and BAT I feel are much closer to what I was looking for than the other solid state amps I've tried... | |
| Best Thread on Audiogon? It's got to be the "Guard Defense Against a Bear" thread. Oooopps, that was from the Underground Mixed Martial Arts forum. | |
| Aleph 3/30 Owners: What preamp do you use? I just thought of something. Is there a reason why you're not considering a Rogue or Cary amp? Is it the price of these amps or the thought of having a whole gang of tubes to deal with? If so, I can definitely appreciate that, and that's the reaso... | |
| Amp enlightenment for a newbie… Hi Tyrone, you're bound to get varying answers, but unfortunately in my experience I've found you can't do both well.In my opinion, to do jazz right requires a system completely opposed to a home theater set up. But everyone's tastes and pocket bo... | |
| HELP with Speakers for a 11 ft X 12 ft room??? I have a 12 x 14 foot room with 8 foot ceilings, and TONS of crap along the walls and scattered throughout, so the effective space may be much smaller.I've had great success with ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures and ProAc 1SC monitors. Huge soundstage... | |
| Aleph 3/30 Owners: What preamp do you use? Drubin is correct about the input impedance issues with Aleph amps.I borrowed an Aleph 3 from Viggen for a few weeks and loved its sound but the 23K ohm single ended only input impedance resulted in some bass loss and dynamic constriction when mat... | |
| Best sounding 6SN7 VT231 for amplifier input Sugarbrie, I think I got a set of Raytheons and Mullards around here somewhere...need to try them out too. |
