| Recommendations on Christmas Music?? Ever since I found it in a bargain bin in 1976, hands-down it's Ellington's Nutcracker Suite. It is loved by all and never gets old, dated or out of place. Seasonal, musically secular and such a treat.If you can find an original Columbia pressing ... | |
| New Springsteen Box: Opinions? I got the LP box last week and have listened to the first four albums and the first LP from The River (once each). At work right now and cannot write in detail, but I can say that while not all are over-the-top perfect, there are many significant ... | |
| So long, Paul Revere and Mike Auldrige Mike Auldridge passed in December of 2012.More than a few happy nights seeing the Seldom Scene at the Birchmere and way back at the long gone Red Fox in Bethesda. Anybody who does not care for bluegrass should check out "Live at the Cellar Door". ... | |
| Cary cad120s running 4 ohm speakers? Brf-In my experience, I can wholeheartedly agree with you up to a point. I auditioned five amps, none of which could drive them well enough. I almost gave up on them before I settled in with the Cary, although bottom end was still a little bit loo... | |
| Cary cad120s running 4 ohm speakers? Agree with Polk432, you should not have any problems. For two years I ran my Totem Mani-2's with a Cary CAD-120S Mkii, and they are significantly less efficient the the Elements. If your pre is not of a significantly higher gain like Polk's you mi... | |
| Broken Bells- Columbia or Music on Vinyl? I cannot speak of the merits of the MOV pressing, but I was nothing but disappointed in the Columbia pressing. My copy sounded flat, muddy and lifeless. The CD, which while ultra bass heavy, plays with much more detail and spark. I felt there was ... | |
| Did You Get a Ticket for Kate Bush's London Gig? From the looks of it, you and everyone else are victims of ticket scalpers using automated software to snap up tickets the instant they go on sale. It's a chronic issue in the US. Maryland has a bill going through its legislature right now that wo... | |
| Review of Cullen Power and Speaker Cables Not hijacking the link but in all fairness I recently received an email from Steve at RAC(formerly MAC)saying he and his site are back up and running. So, unless things have changed very recently he apparently is not out of the biz. No connection ... | |
| Best Christmas music, CD or album on your list ? For me, hands down, it's Duke Ellington's Nutcracker Suite. I stumbled on a copy in a cut-out bin in 1976 and it's been my favorite ever since. I've since found an original 6-Eye and now I'm even happier. Nobody who hear's it doesn't fall in love ... | |
| Integrated Recommendation Mdooty-I went through five amp auditions before I found the W4S, and then the Rogue M-180s. My only advice is do not (and you can underline that or put it in bold caps) skimp on power. Chayro is 100% correct, the Mani's will leave lower power amps... | |
| Integrated Recommendation Before I settled into my Rogue M-180's I was driving my Mani-2's with a Wyred4Sound STI-500 (550W into 4 ohms). It had great, tight bass control which, if your environment is anything like mine, the Manis will love. The upper end was razor sharp i... | |
| My Audio Cables gone? Steve is still in business, but he's changed the name of his business to Rite Audio Cables (RAC) Cables.For some reason I cannot find the website, but here is his email address which should be good as we worked together just this past July.steve@r... | |
| Can you identify this piece for me? classical musi It's called "Olympic Fanfare and Theme", composed by John WIlliams for the 1984 Olympic Games. | |
| High powered amps for low sensitivity Audiotomb-You didn't say if you were looking for a tube or an SS amp.It took me more than a few auditions and a while to find what I was looking for to drive my low sensitivity Totem Mani-2's (85db, 4 ohm), but eventually found contentment with, f... | |
| what tubes for my Rouge 99 Mswobo-At the recommendation of the fine folks at Rogue, I upgraded to a pair of RCA clear tops. The first thing that presented itself to me was a pronounced difference in the clarity and extension of the mid-highs and highs over the stock tubes. ... |
