| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? +10 @ghdprentice and @oddiofyl . You get what you pay for? | |
| Greatest Songwriter of all time I always thought John Prine did some pretty good song writing, and I like Josh Ritter's lyrics a lot. | |
| Top Ten Tube PreAmp of all time? I've only owned two tube preamps, so I am not really qualified on this subject, but one of mine is the Cary SLP 05 and I like it a lot. I own a bunch of different tubes for rolling on this unit, and certain tubes make me like it more than others ... | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps To my above list, I would add Rebecca Pidgeon, Spanish Harlem, off of the Chesky Raven CD. The Sundays cover of Wild Horses has gave me goose bumps before. | |
| Greatest Songwriter of all time Three best of all time is a pretty high bar, but I certainly appreciate the lyrics by Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Steve Earle. But that leaves so many out, such as Townes Van Zandt & so may more that if I thought about it might be in my to... | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps Margo Timmins/Sweet Jane & quite a few other songs. Suzanne Vega/ the Solitude Standing CD Linda Ronstadt/ Carmelita, Blue Bayou, Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues and quite a few other songs Many of the tracks from Emmy Lou Harris/ the Wrecking ... | |

| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? "Cheap" is a relative term. What I now see as cheap I probably didn’t then. I am sure that many here would consider the stuff I now see in my system as higher dollar to be "cheap." But the first pair of 2 way speakers I bought back in ’93 or ’94... | |
| WILL IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE? @spatialking +10. If you have gone from SS to Tube, what did you buy? What was the most striking difference out of the box and 300 hours in? Did you keep the speakers you had? Back in the prehistoric days of Dolby Prologic, I became more &a... | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? A stock-appearing early Nova showed up at our local track (St. Louis area). 2-tone, white over black, baby moons. Granite City? | |
| Jumped the shark. ??? Like I said you are a fine human being @immatthewj. Time to move a long. No time to waste on the likes of you. @jerryg123 , does this mean that you won't be sending me any more obscene DMs? | |
| I think I just smoked my Amp @rfnoise good to read a happy ending! | |
| Amps for B&W 805 Diamond: Rogue Audio or Krell, Pass labs, ML, Accuphase Yeah, I know the MA252 is very good but it is only 100W. Is it enough for 805 Diamond? Normally I see people use 150W or more amplifier? @truongv0ky I own a pair of the way earlier B&W 805 Matrix speakers, and I do not know if they are a si... | |
| Jumped the shark. ??? @immatthewj you are a real fine human being. Thanks, @jerryg123 , judging from the obscene emails that you used to send me, I thought that you probably felt that way. | |
| Jumped the shark. ??? Just a direct quote from you is all that was. But maybe that was the "stroke" talking. |
