| Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade If power cables do not make an audible difference, will it affect the sound if I cut mine in half? ;)John | |
| drive by truckers Thanks Marty! Just ordered The Reivers' last album (75 cents + sh on the Zon!). They were out of Austin. A little more alt and a little less country, perhaps, than some mentioned above, but very nice (speaking of the Velvet Underground, male lead ... | |
| drive by truckers Have fun shopping, Marty. :) Jbc is right that the Bottlerockets are very worth a listen (I like "Brand New Year"). For my money, the best St. Louis Bands are no longer active: Uncle Tupelo, arguably among the most important American rock bands of... | |
| drive by truckers jbc: Stephen King plugged "Gimmie Back My Dog" in one of his books. Slobberbone offered him a free ticket on their website. | |
| drive by truckers If nothing else, you gotta like the band name "Two Cow Garage".As the name might lead you to suspect, lots of witty song writing from TCG. Definitely worth a listen, Marty, if you like the Truckers.J | |
| Who's Enjoying the Pure Music App Besides Me?? On a fairly brief listen, I seem to be finding v1.72a considerable more resolving, and with more like like timbre than 1.65, my last version. Anyone else having a similar experience?Lots of value for the investment here, IMO, though I've not tried... | |
| drive by truckers "Decoration Day" my fav, esp. the Stones tribute "Marry Me."If you like DBT, you might check out Slobberbone, out of Denton, Texas, esp. "Everything You Thought Was Right Was Wrong Today."Also in the conversation is Two Cow Garage, out of Columbus... | |
| Front port vs Rear port A fair number of speakers are designed to be "near wall" compatible. The VSA VR-33 is a recent example. Front and rear (and bottom, I think) can be made to work. You might try searching here for "near wall," and also companies like North Creek and... | |
| Good news for tinnitus sufferers Good news if you are a rat, certainly. I remember hearing a researcher who had developed a promising cancer treatment in rats saying, "All I'm wiling to claim is that if you're a rat with certain cancers, we've got something very promising to offe... | |
| YG Acoustics vs. Avantgarde Duo series comparison? What I meant to say that both speakers are so so different sounding that you cannot compare them.There arent enough words for me to express how much I believe that YG is better than the Avantguarde. Call me crazy, Argyro, but it sounds like you ju... | |
| How loud is loud, What DB is actually loud? there are vehicles now that score well over 170db in these competitionsI had absolutely no idea this was a realm of human aspiration. I must not get out enough."Takes all kinds to make a world," my old man used to say. :)John | |
| Experience with North Creek Speakers As all of you must know, Norths are hard to audition. (One reason I'm hesitant to go with them when I move from my Eskas). I wonder if people would like to get a home audition list going here? I'm in st. Louis, and would be happy for people to che... | |

| Best Towers Under $1500 for beginner system Fritz Carbon 7's might be worth adding to the mix. Have not heard the towers, but the monitor version is very fine at 1700 (I believe Fritz sometimes has breaks on demos ). Maybe not the most rocking, but highly musical. I believe Fritz will do in... | |
| Speakers after GMA Europas I agree with Rockadanny that Fritz's Carbon 7s are lovely at the price, and also compete with considerably more expensive pieces. I've enjoyed talking to Fritz too.However, they may be a pretty different animal than the GMAs, if the Eos and Eos HD... |
