| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For I like your thoughts. I’ll tell her that since we live on a dirt road with horses up and down our streets that I’m just keeping the tv clean. And dust free. @wjcasey, I’ve never done that myself, as I didn’t think I needed to, as when my rig... | |
| speakers and cables An external high pass filter maybe? I bought a M&K external high pass,around 30 years ago, give or take, and I don't recall it costing an arm an leg. Anyway, in a nutshell (if I've got this right from memory) your RCA outs from preamp will g... | |
| Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To I am going to add Van Morrison/Blowin Your Mind. I remember hearing Brown Eyed Girl frequently on AM radio stations when I was growing up in Montana and I thought it was a catchy tune but I never thought much else about it. Then in '91 when I ha... | |
| Soundtracks and Film scores, your favourites I was listening to Leonard Cohen this afternoon and thought of Natural Born Killers. I am late to a lot of parties, and I did not discover Leonard Cohen or The Cowboy Junkies until Natural Born Killers came out on VHS. | |
| The criteria for loudspeaker choices. . . . never mind, I just did some speed reading (TAS), and they quote a suggested 50 to 150 wpc and they say that nominal impedance is 6 ohms (5.6 ohms minimum).. | |
| 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. ... |
