| Nightmare Elgordo - Very witty! LMAO! | |
| Slade,Sweet,Status Quo I remember seeing Desolation Boulevard on CD some years ago (I really can't remember how long ago though. I would guess 10 year ballpark). Sorry, this is all I got. | |
| what cover versions are better than the original A bit off topic perhaps, but Cheap Trick's Live at Budokan "covers" of their own songs clobber the studio versions, which is unusual in that most live versions don't appeal to me as much as the studio. | |
| SPICA 's in Home Theater Setup The best thing would be another Angelus. He would probably have to buy a pair, but having an extra speaker around for spare parts would be very good. If he can't fit another Angelus under or behind the screen, a TC-50 would be a good match,since t... | |

| Goldmund vs. Atma-Sphere I am using Talon Audio Hawks, a Wadia 850 w/ Great Northern Reference upgrade, and MIT cables. Tonight I brought home demo units of the S30 and SR2.3. Initial impressions are that the SR2.3 makes sounds that most closely resemble the real live thi... | |
| Please help, obsessive audiophile question In 20 years, you'll regret the time spent fretting about this. In the mean time, kknow that we all empathize with your pain, and just try to let it go. Be thankful that your system HAS a balance control. I would just leave the balance control off ... | |
| Any opinions on Acurus amps? I owned an Acurus A150 and an RL11 preamp. The RL11 remote had serious problems. If not aimed directly at the pre, it would cause the wrong function to activate. The worst was when I wanted to adjust the volume and the balance would change. I'd be... | |
| Talon speakers and Spectron amps? Neal - your description of the Atma-Spheres matches my limited experience with them in an in-store demo against my Aleph (a very good amp to begin with)- vocals were just amazing. I am concerned about equipment that sounds too squeaky clean - this... | |
| Talon speakers and Spectron amps? Thanks for the inputs. Twopippis - I checked out your system - WOW. Regarding the Pass, is your comment in reference to the X series, the Alephs, or both? It's good to hear from other Hawk users. I really like these speakers, and have been surpris... | |
| Golden Tube Audio SE 40 There is a Golden Tube owners group on Yahoo. Very active group with extensive archives. | |
| Big screen LCD TVs Although I'm not a videophile, my understanding is that LCDs are generally not as bright as plasma displays, and may not have as much contrast, either. The industrial LCDs I have seen are back lit with fluorescent tubes. I have seen some LCD compu... | |
| Pass X Pre - Ruthlessly revealling? Interesting answers. I have owned a Pass Aleph 3 for many years, and really enjoy it, so I'm not intending to start any flame wars. I have heard it next to several other amps, and the only thing so far which beat it without compromise was a pair o... | |
| Wadia 861 or keep Electrocompaniet mk2 Interesting thread, as I'm going through a similar hand-wringing exercise now, owning a Wadia 830. Subaruguru - did you mean to say the EC has big bass? Also, which Wadia did you try out? Thanks | |
| Wadia upgrade - Levinson or Naim? Thanks for the inputs. I hadn't really considered mods that much. I checked out the GNSC web site. My concern is that the testimonials all talk about improved soundstaging, iomaging, and resolution. These are all great, but my main concern is in m... |
