| Future of this hobby? Grant - Just watched "Broken Flowers" last night (good flick) - There are some short scenes of Bill Murray listening to music on his couch...looks like he's deliberately sitting right in the sweet spot...well, those scenes would make a hilarious a... | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? Tube rolling sounds like a pretty intense undertaking.Hey if you can tip cows over at night, then tube rolling ought'a be a breeze! No meadow muffins to look out for either! Because you are talking about a headphone amp that will likely use only a... | |
| Tube Amps with Balanced Inputs You mentioned that these sound close to SET amps. What amps have you compared them to?I've directly compared them to my Quicksilver 300B SET monos and Wright's own WPA3.5 SET amps that utilize the same 2A3 tubes but solo, in a SET topology. The Mo... | |
| Tube Amps with Balanced Inputs I don't think a true 'balanced' output is possible with a single-ended amp. George Wright's Mono 10 amps use a pair of 2A3's in Push/Pull and are one of the closest things to a SET sound I've heard from a P/P. Great little amps, but don't know wha... | |
| Tube Playback for Apple iPod... The weakest part of listening to an iPod using any of these gizmos, or through your main system for that matter, is that you are limited to the performance of the DAC in the iPod, which leaves something to be desired, in my experience, when compar... | |
| Recommend used digital source for $3K used This simply cannot be. Can it, Wc65mustang? Mustang? Mustang??I think I saw him on the evening news leaving town in a white ford Bronco. Marco | |
| What new music did you get for Christmas? One thing I will say about Aerial, even on the CD, the recording/mixing is excellent and her voice does sound great. I just prefer her more dramatic range from the albums I mentioned. This stuff all sounds pretty similar, cut-to-cut, and is very l... | |
| What new music did you get for Christmas? I just received Kate Bush "Aerial" from England on LP. The artwork is stunning and this double album worth the price for side B alone, (as far as I've listened while writing this).I'm gonna' need to listen a few more times to that one. Just didn't... | |
| Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99 Wc65mustang, you are referred to as Bill in your Audiogon feedback, you list an East Amherst, NY zipcode in this ad, which is less than 5 miles from AudioFeil International in Clarence Center, NY. You have mentioned attending Sheas Buffalo theate... | |
| Recommend used digital source for $3K used Wc65mustang, Bill are you Bill Feil, aka Audiogon member Audiofeil , owner of AudioFeil International, and a dealer for Esoteric?I was curious about this as well. I could swear that twice when I've written wc65mustang, the response came from audio... | |
| The best audiophile "gag" gift for X-Mas Hey Albert, the link was to the poster child, sure enough the real deal....But, here's the actual product. You even get a free coin purse to save up your allowance for the next tweakeroo too!! I'm sure you know Fred was one of the original Intelli... | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews ....You can't really see it in the low-rez version, but if you blow-up the "handshake" in the photo I linked to you should be able to make out the handoff of a fistfull of dead presidents and some front-row concert tickets. Little dudes are actual... | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews I just want to know who the peanut-head is who listened to the Von Schweikert speakers line, and pronounced them all "rubbish".Blame this dude! Stereophile's new reviewer. From the looks of this photo he may have a propensity towards horns. I don'... | |
| The best audiophile "gag" gift for X-Mas ....see what you started Albert?! You're nothing but a trouble-maker!Marco | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews Why waste review space on rubbish?!?I'm not sure what you're saying here Nate. I don't see a great abundance of rubbish out there in the high-end (other than perhaps in the wires and tweaks market). Studioray - I hear what you're saying and I can'... |
