| Your First System 1975, Technics reciever, Yamaha tape deck, Project-1 TT and Bose speakers.That system could rock! Cops would come visit when I played LA Woman.... | |
| How do I keep my cats off my amplifier? Cats in the house? Yuk. | |
| I need a female jazz vocalist. No Krall, No Norah Etta James. Her Jazz album, Time after Time 1995. I listen to it over and over and over. Sings Blues, Funk, and Rock too, with feeling. Can't take Norah, like fingernails on a blackboard... | |
| Best preamp/ Amp combo or intgrated amp?? Brand new Marantz PM7200 is worth considering. | |
| How about a new addition to every posting made? Great way to find new tunes. Etta James = CD = Live from San Francisco = song#4 Sugar On The FloorThis song has emotion. Had the pleasure to see Etta a few times in Monterey. | |
| Life expectancy of Interconnects & Speaker Cable? Quality speaker cables and interconnects need a good break in period. After that they deterioriate quite quickly.You only get about 5 minutes of quality listening on most good cables.P.S.Please send me your old cables. | |
| Need suggestions for new speakers under $5K I vote for second hand Sonus Faber Cremonas. Have heard them with the Mcintosh, seems to work.Talk about a gorgeous system..... | |
| speakers for krell kav 400 ix I heard the Spendors with the Krell at a Hi Fi show in Bangkok. Thought the sound was excellent.Hooked up my B&W S805s and it was a bit hard or edgy to my ears.That brite red display is a bit much. You may want to cover it with duct tape. | |
| A guide for Audiophiles and Marriage I have a trick. Take the price tag from the ($400)interconnects and glue it to the ($4000)CDPlayer box.Worked for me. | |
| Best monitor for bookcase ? B&W makes a wall mounted speaker, similar to the 805s.I've seen it in the Signature finish but have not had a listen. Look here: http://www.bwspeakers.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/products.models/label/Model%20Signature%20SCM | |
| Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage? $20,000 speakers in a $20,000 cabinet. Very nice. | |
| Cd player for the Levinson 38,332 and B&W S805? You might save yourself a few dollars if you give the Electrocompaniet a listen. | |
| "Wife Friendly" full range speakers I think most would agree the Sonus Faber Cremonas sound good with the Mcintosh equipment. Ya gotta love the woodwork too. | |
| Bed room systems? The Mcintosh integrated MA6500 could be the ultimate bedroom amp. Has a loudness button for low level listening.The nicely lit display of course.I'd match that with the Quad 11L speakers.Sugden has a mini system I see that should be a winner. | |
| The best CD Player for the money I am very pleased with my Electrocompaniet EMC 1. The finish, the feel, the sound are excellent. Has a professional quality to it.(except the crappy remote) |
