| Your greatest high end audio purchase!!! What "ruined" me was the Audio Research SP 6. Bought it in 1978. Loved it. | |
| Steely Dan UHQR So, I just had to look. In my stacks I currently have three copies of this record with the AB 1006 stamper. One is a yellow wax version. One is a really clean (looking) regular wax version and #3 is also very nice in regular wax. Completely forgot... | |
| My High End Audio Gear As A Long Term Investment!!! I have been happy and stable with my system for some time now. I too have had to face old guy hearing issues. Not too bad yet but enough to make me realize that doing the swap out of gear just because is a silly proposition. Until now. I have beco... | |
| Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others? Emmylou Harris Steve Earle | |
| What’s the most underrated used Audio Research gear? +1 ozzy62 SP6 was my long time favorite. | |
| What was your first record? First I ever bought with my own money was the 45 Monster Mash by Bobby "Boris" Pickett. Walked to the record store on a Saturday morning and laid down the $1.00 profit from my paper route. Man I loved that song. | |
| Audiogon, meet Buddy Miller. Attended an Emmylou concert some years ago where she and Buddy were the only performers. They went through so many of Emmylou's classics. An amazing show. Great venue with excellent acoustics. I am a big Emmylou fan and her work with Buddy opened ... | |
| Have There Ever Been Fake Koetsu? The reply from mulveling is why I stay around this forum. Thank you for your time and effort to make all of us a little, or in my case here, a lot, wiser on this subject. | |
| As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This? Very early 60's I had a Sony R to R. I taped the mic to my Sony FM radio and recorded as much music as I could. The start of it all.. | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? You are screwed. If you make the trade you will always wonder if your old speakers sounded "better". if you don't make the trade you will always wonder if that was a mistake. I speak from years of experience. I would do it just to scratch the itch. | |
| Is simpler better? ++cd318 I am down to a streamer (not an expensive one) my 8 year old integrated Hegel unit and a Cambridge CD player that is seldom used. I rely on Qobuz and a pretty extensive collection of digital FLAC files. When I hit retirement age and bu... | |
| What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs? A while ago I worked on my Music Collector software and cataloged my vinyl collection according to genre. I have been keeping track of my records on this software for quite a long time but I decided that the time had come to add ratings and subjec... | |
| Did the Old Receivers Sound Good? Worked in a couple of stores in the 70's that sold a wide selection of receivers from most of the "hot" electronics companies of the day. There were definite levels of quality in build and also in sound between brands. It wasn't all that difficult... | |
| Anyone else have issues with Tidal? I made the move because at the time I felt Qobuz had more titles that interested me. Haven't looked back. I see no reason to either from all of the comparisons I have read over time on these forums. | |
| Wilson to Tekton to ???? I bit of a different road for me. In the 70's I sold a bunch of Yamaha for a high end store. Always loved the receivers but never brought one home. Couldn't stand it recently when I say a mint unit on Reverb for a great price. Snapped that bad boy... |
