| Best Speakers new/used for around 2k Thanks for the advice and agree. Do you love or hate any of the aforementioned? Just trying to narrow down the field a little. The only direct experience I have with any speakers on your list is with the Zu Druids which I tried in several differen... | |
| Getting Started That PSB Image T65 has to be a serious contender at $799. If I went with that speaker, would a 50wpc amp such as the Peachtree Decco or NAD C326BEE be sufficient? Or should I stick with something more stout (such as the C355BEE mentioned earlier)?... | |
| Getting Started That sucks. I'm sorry to hear of your experience at the retail level. That kind of attitude gives the hobby a bad name, whether on the retail level or just person-to-person. The tough part of your question is the clean slate - there are literally ... | |
| airport express questions Just supporting/echoing your post, Rbsthno...sorry I didn't make that clear. | |
| Best Speakers new/used for around 2k I don't know about that Joe Blow dude either. I've seen him giving some pretty shaky advice here as well. You might want to choose your new amp at the same time as the amp>speaker interfaces is absolutely critical. You might also consider that ... | |
| airport express questions the computer can do this and much more if you have a decent machine. when you stream your music, how much cpu are you using? are you telling me that you are maxing out your cpu? the computer has to do quite a bit of work to get data off the disk, ... | |
| Any suggestions for good obscure music? I'll second a vote for Buckner's early work, especially Bloomed. Sorry you didn't click with Focault...for me I prefer his stuff over Buckner's, especially from a songwriting standpoint. Buckner's definitively darker overall. I'll check out archiv... | |
| Top 2009 recordings I like your resolution, whatever your 'w' reason is. To more directly answer your question, in no particular order, here are my favorite releases from 2009 that I continue to enjoy beyond just a flash in the pan:Antony & The Johnsons, "The Cry... | |
| Any suggestions for good obscure music? for some reason, sufjan stevens reminds me of yanni.He runs hot and cold for me, but I do like that particular song. Now that you've gone and polluted my mind with that thought, I'll never listen to him quite the same! :-I | |
| Any suggestions for good obscure music? Oh..and one more that comes to mind...Sufjan's hauntingly beautiful and simultaneously chilling song, John Wayne Gacy Jr.. It comes to mind as one of my favorite Jurado songs is equally as creepy...a spoken piece titled, "Amateur Night." | |
| Any suggestions for good obscure music? I sifted out a couple of vids that actually have OK sound to get some idea of these two recommendatons:Alexi Murdoch, "All my Days"Alexi Murdoch, "Orange Sky"Jeffrey Foucault, "Northbound 35" Sings with his wife Kris Delmhorst in this vid. Wonderf... | |
| Any suggestions for good obscure music? Dude, LOVE Richard Buckner - though last time I saw him live he was in a particularly dark state of mind...yeah, a bad day. The earlier albums are better...last one was getting into the Nick Cave meets Damien Jurado territory. I've never heard of ... | |
| Any suggestions for good obscure music? i've also been listening to the epynonymous cd of a guy named john davis, who's the majordomo of the successful power poppers, superdrag. apparently, he was driving drunk one night when he found god and decided to make a "christian" record. now, n... | |
| Firewire DACs? But USB is....TERRIBLE. Just listen.SOME USB is terrible. Not all. It really depends on how it is implemented. Another Firewire option if you don't want to drop large coin on Audiophile gear is the Focus Saffire or Saffire LE ($299), which is a pr... | |
| Whats your current Reference CD at the moment? I've been using Melody Gardot, My One and Only Thrill, lately. |
