| Favorite driving music Great stuff. Also, for cruising, David Lindley (El-Rayo X) "Mercury Blues" | |
| Meridian 808 or NOT Meridian 808 The Ayre c5xe is a great platform. It is a dedicated 2 channel CD/SACD player that costs well under $7K. It's SACD performance is outstanding, as is its Redbook reproduction. Having said that, as a Redbook player it is not in the same league as th... | |
| Favorite driving music Shadorne, nothing by The Cars? | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? "I used to have BMWs but they don't hold up well."Tbg, curious as to your definitive statement re BMWs. My current ride is - to date - the most reliable car I've ever owned, and I've owned several of the more respected marques, including Porsche a... | |
| Favorite driving music Audiofeil, very compelling (eg, driving) list!Jaybo, how could I have overlooked that classic? | |
| Favorite driving music Some great choices. Some I'll have to check out. I agree about Rory - another great, largely unsung guitar hero. Great in the car.Okay, Paladin, I'll bite: what were the other 'goodies?' | |
| Best driving music. Yeah, a tiny bit happier but that's a tough order to fill. Best? Favorite? You say tomato, I say arugula. What were we talking about? Oh yeah, late night runs to Der Wienerschnitzel......during which I liked to listen to Foghat. | |
| Best driving music. John, great thread! Hadn't seen this before. Interesting choice of word - "best." You could have used "favorite," like I probably would LOL.Okay, on those long stretches of I-5 between Sacto and LA I'd have to agree with your choice of the Allman ... | |
| Meridian 808 or NOT Meridian 808 I agree with Pardales, once you're looking at spending that kind of money you have to hear the cdp in your system before taking the plunge. However, my experience with the 808 was the opposite, it was vastly superior to the G08. That is, (looking ... | |
| High end stores closing do you really care What I'd like to discover is some high-end dealer who is independently wealthy - someone who isn't worried about making his mortgage and has the financial resources to carry a few of the esoteric marques (yeah, maybe even Esoteric, too) as well as... | |
| Have you seen Eric Clapton at his best? The beauty of this thread is that all of our opinions just underscore how influential Clapton, and so many others, have been - not just on us but on other guitarists/musicians. I would certainly have to add that, IMO, Bireli Lagrene has been much ... | |
| Have you seen Eric Clapton at his best? Saw Cream at Fillmore West in 1968. A memorable concert. Ginger was at his absolute speed-freaking peak (don't know if it was the 'atmosphere' or what, but even his extended rendition of 'Toad' was perfect).Having the chance to play with Derek T. ... | |
| SRA VR vs. Ohio YMMV - your mileage may vary. In other words, or IOW (LOL - you must know that one...hah), there are very few, if any, absolutes...witness the difference in listening experience between Larry and I. Neither of us is wrong. This may be one of the m... | |
| SRA VR vs. Ohio Larryi, your experience with an Ultra under an AA Cap begs further information, i.e., what electronics/speakers were downstream - not to mention what music was being played. In my system the results are a polar opposite to your observation. The so... | |
| Isoaltion why so many options? Confusing Chgolatin2, check this site out:www.symposiumusa.com/tech3.htmlPeter Bizlewicz clearly defines the various isolation techniques and devices. As for his bona fides (and we all know that this can ultimately mean little), he won a Westinghouse schola... |
