| The criteria for loudspeaker choices. @bdp24 is a well respected contributor who always has something interesting to say. +1. @bdp24 , what do the specs say about the power suggested to drive those speakers? (Unless I missed that even though I did a couple of re-reads. If s... | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For Big open space, with a tv in between. I wish I could figure out the best way to treat that space without my wife telling me it’s ugly, or worse yet, no :). My preamp made the biggest difference. @wjcasey3rd , I had always read that anything lar... | |
| Discount on Internet order A new law went into effect to charge anything sold 3 years ago ebay ,,PayPal even on used items. They now have to give you a statement statement to claim on taxes ,which was not before this. ??? | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For Funny - I thought this was an amp thread til the last post or two. And I thought it was a transformational piece of gear thread. | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For I’d say the only piece I bought that I did not consider transformational was the Cary V12 I bought in the eraly summer of ’01. And the reason I say it was probably not transformational is because I was listening to, at the time, a pair of ARC VTM1... | |
| Best Covers I really enjoy Johnny Cash's cover of Bridge Over Troubled Water from his (I think) '02 CD, The Man Comes Around. | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For I've done that a few times (amps, preamps, CDPs, DACs, most recently speakers) and I have experienced transformation, but sonic transformation can be ("can" being the operative word) like a good drug high . . . it's only good enough for a while. | |
| Discount on Internet order +1 @noromance . | |
| Soundtracks and Film scores, your favourites . . . maybe Forrest Gump. | |
| Soundtracks and Film scores, your favourites I always think of Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid because of Knocking On Heaven's door, but in all honesty I have to say (and this although I really like and respect Bob Dylan's writing and singing) the rest of his work on that left me a bit cold. ... | |
| I guess I need a new multimeter. . . . what I had been thinking was that when turned to mA it automatically defaults to DC mA and maybe when I use the mode button to switch to DC mA that, although it says it is in DC, it is not always actually switching to DC? | |
| Best Covers I've been auditioning/breaking in some new speakers and in the process I have been playing CDs I bought almost 30 years ago and barely listened to, and maybe it's the quality of the speakers or maybe it's the way my listening has either evolved or... | |
| Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To . . . here's another one I bought back in the late 90s that I just played today and really enjoyed, although I probably hadn't played it but a half dozen times (if that many): Dave's True Story, the Sex Without Bodies CD (a Chesky aluminum disc, ... | |
| Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To @simao +1 on that! If I had a TT, I know that I would have a few Patricia Barber LPs. Ten Song Demo is incredible, so amazingly great. @rpeluso , I find it hard to understand why that didn't hit me when I bought it almost 30 years ago! I... | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? IMO, this would qualify as a high quality (sonically) charity price hifi rig for any younger or older person w.r.t small room nearfield or midfield listening. I am surprised that you have not repurposed a mansion somewhere so she could use that... |
