| Music for the spirit and the soul I'd heartily second Boa2's recommendation (El Cant de la Sibil la). Montserrat Figueras can do no wrong and has an utterly astonishing voice. Get that specific version as there is one other out there that she did that is not quite as well recorded... | |
| best shippers? FedexGround and UPS Ground are the worst in my experience. A real crapshoot with the odds worse with FedexGround. I'd agree also that you will have to fight tooth and nail to get them to pay attention to an insurance claim and most will give up fo... | |
| SETs vs. Push/Pull Tom- I've had both types of systems running at the same time, one at home, and one at work. My 300B SET's are my amp of choice, and have been for some time. Power's never been an issue for me with LaScala's. If you've been listening to SET for tha... | |
| Tubes - The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Hi Jim-Your preamp was built around the 6H30P tube which is a souped-up, and allegedly improved, substitute for the much more frequenly used 6922 tube family. The Telefunken tubes you have are likely NOS 6922 tubes. They could be genuine Telefunke... | |
| Fidelity Needless to say, I'll take 'enjoyment' as my priority every single time. That may in fact lead to someone else's resemblence to accuracy, but it sure wasn't my motivating factor.I felt the need to explain that further as I didn't turn any music on... | |
| Fidelity Many have already noted that that, ENJOYMENT, rather than ACCURACY or true to the original, is a better goal. Of course we'd like both... WHY?!?! Why would anyone need anything more than ENJOYMENT?!?! That's a head-trip...a mind-game. I've been in... | |
| Fidelity I'd hope that all of us, at one time or other, has had the experience of pure enjoyment of music, whether from a transistor radio, or a Hi-Fi which sold for more than a year at Yale. Accurate reproduction of anything does not necessarily lead to o... | |
| Enjoyment Don't even go there; that road leads to obsession, isolation, and financial ruin. 9/10 eventually turn to I.V. drug use and live concerts. Just say "no" to accurate reproduction. Start a neighborhood watch in your own community and learn to read t... | |
| Fidelity "The Original", Viggen, was conceived, performed, mixed and recorded by humans who all have put their own individual signature on it, which will manifest itself in whatever way it will as far as how it is preserved and presented on the media itsel... | |
| Fidelity Prpixel - Let us all know if your ding-dong makes it to the top floor after the procedure. If not, you may want to go back to your source and have them burrow a few extra caveties, insert some carbon-fiber tubes and you can fill'em with lead shot ... | |
| Fidelity I'll go with Reubant to block, Bob. He said it plain and simple...get out while you still can, ignore these neurotic freaks, and enjoy the music! Be happy. The idea of an objective anything is patently ridiculous. Our senses are as individual as o... | |
| Mcormack DNA.5 vs B&K reference 4420 My friend Jon uses that exact setup too. He doesn't follow the forum threads regularly, but you could ping him off the list. He is Agon member BibassetMarco | |
| Recommendations for "pure class a" amp under 1K For just a bit more you should be able to find a Pass Aleph 5. Outstanding SS amp...closest thing to tubes I've heard coming from anything SS. Sounds best when it's been puttin' out that class A heat for about 48 hours. At that point you should be... | |
| Speaker Cables - Optimal Length I tend to go with the rule of thumb that says the optimum length should be long enough to go from the terminals on your amplifier to the terminals on your speakers. Any shorter and you'll be sadly disappointed.Marco | |
| the best way to display albums as art You may have to do a bit of searching on their website, but Light Impressions has all kinds of storage envelopes for archiving, as well as presentation. I don't know what their selection for LP's might be, but they are worth trying. You should be ... |
