| I turn the big Half-Century today I enjoyed playing songs reminiscent of my youth, i.e., high school and college years, e.g., Beach Boys classics and "hell-icopter music" (Vietnam War-era rock, a la Apocalypse Now, like Norman Greenbaum's Spirit in the Sky). Dug it then, dig it now. | |
| Audioquest Amazon? I recently replaced my Audioquest Audiotruth Diamond x3 interconnects with Amazons. While the Diamonds were quite bright, the Amazons were less bright, but still on the bright side. The Amazons sounded more coherent, as if the sound had been sligh... | |
| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? Nakamichi recently went bankrupt. I thought they made great cassette decks. | |
| Is the sound quality of bryston 7 much less than.. At this level, there isn't much of a real difference. Side by side, you could likely hear something. Or, if you replace an amp you've had for a while, you could probably tell there's been a change. The best thing to do is go for a listen or arrang... | |
| Please explain Mulholland drive? I got the impression that the Hollywood scene is a confusing mix of stereotypes. The film makers are saying the girl who flew in from Canada could just as easily have been the dead girl in the bed or just as easily the girl who commited suicide. T... | |
| Best CD player directly to Amp? I've had good results with my Mark Levinson 390s, although it might be a tad above your price range. | |
| So WHERE do you go to buy a Shure V15 Cartridge ? Your best deal might be from your local Shure dealer. Try www.shure.com to find your local sales rep to locate a dealer. As a backup, I think www.audioadvisor.com will sell you one of these $350 list items for $275. For spare parts, try www.needle... | |
| Help, moved and very unhappy the sound of the syst Is your wall current up to snuff? | |
| What does this mean? From the ungodly, perverted vivisection on the Island of Dr. Moreau, could it be a balanced interconnect reterminated with RCA plugs? | |
| Levinson or Krell I'm happy driving my W/P 6's with Pass X600 monoblocks. The Pass's have pure, smooth, liquid midrange and treble ranges and are OK if not great in the bass. This is a good fit with the W/P 6 which tends to be a little hot and very revealing in the... | |
| "RECORDING OF THE WEEK"????? My current favorites are Live at Blues Alley by Eva Cassidy (listen for sharp cymbals and huge bass, as well as female vocal) and Tourist by St. Germain (edgy but listenable techno-jazz not for everyone). I'm bringing them to the Stereophile NY show. | |
| Where to buy LP Sound by Singer has a few bins. Princeton Record Exchange in NJ has a substantial collection of used LPs. | |
| Dynaudio or Wison? The WATT/Puppy 6 is being replaced by the W/P 7 this month. The W/P 7 is a complete redesign. Suggest you wait a few weeks then audition it. | |
| Oh where or where have all the buyers gone? Unemployment is up to 6%, and the NASDAQ Composite is down more than 15% year to date. (The S&P 500 is off more than 6% year to date.) | |
| Preamp Selection Sorry I came to this thread so late. You've probably already made your decision, and my comment is only of acacemic interest.I have a Pass Aleph P and also need more inputs. (It was bought before I added some more sources.) I added an Entech Direc... |
