| What’s wrong with Diana Krall? @ rannyring I always thought of Van Morrison as one of the greats. Between LPs and CDs, I have nearly all of his recordings and love them all.I can't imagine anyone, with a nice system, who could kick back with a smooth drink and listen to "These ... | |
| The most musical sound in my 40 year's Audio history. @shkong78 Wow! the line-magnetic looks and undoubtedly sounds incredible. I remember, many years ago, auditioning a pair of the large Altec Lancing horns - what an incredibly huge and dynamic sound, but, after some consideration, decided that, eve... | |
| What’s wrong with Diana Krall? @michael8 Diana Krall; One of the worst female popular vocalists??? WOW! That's harsh!I never thought of Neil Young, Bob Dylon, Van Morison or Bruce Springsteen as being great vocalists, but in terms of being great artists, recording stars, story ... | |
| What’s wrong with Diana Krall? I have never had the privilege of hearing Diana Krall in concert, but I have (and enjoy much) several of her recordings. Do I enjoy as much as Nora Jones, Sarah Brightman, Allison Krauss, Jane Monheit, Jennifer Warnes etc, etc? Not sure I could ev... | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K +2 for Spatial Audio, M3 Triode MasterA huge beautiful sound stage, very open detailed, yet musical and a miser on power. Also are very room friendly.The only thing missing from some of the best speakers already mentioned - a fancy box and high pr... | |
| The most musical sound in my 40 year's Audio history. @shkong78Do to the downsize in living space, I conceded to the idea that I'd have to trade down my Quad, ESL 63s and abandon my plans for the Apogees. After trying several of the small speakers in the lines of Focal, B&W, Monitor Audio and oth... | |

| The most musical sound in my 40 year's Audio history. So good to hear of your audio journey. You’ve truly had a very nice assortment of equipment over the years. Over the years, I’ve had and seriously auditioned many fine speakers and have to agree - the Apogee Duetta Sigs. would have to be near the ... | |
| Clean Power without the drawbacks of Conditioning Filtering. Advice? @lowrider57 I guess nobody noticed my recommendation at the top of the thread.Would probably work fine for intended purpose, but why spend $20.00 when you could spend $10K......Jim | |
| Clean Power without the drawbacks of Conditioning Filtering. Advice? @lowrider57..... Yep I think this thread lost OP. I don't think he had $10K power re-generators in mind when he ask for a simple solution to gaining an extra 8 ft of extension from his outlet to location of equipment. No filtering, no power condit... | |
| Speakers positionning With my little Maggie 1.7s, I find my best sweet spot and out of the sweet spot listening is with them very slightly toed in (about 5 deg.) 5 ft. apart (about 6.5' from center to center) 42" from front wall, with the tweeter ribbons to the outside... | |
| WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES THINK YOU ARE BRAGGING WHEN YOU ARE SHARING? Wolf, there’s a song about You and Elizabeth (or at least your satire) "Oh Lord Its Hard To Be Humble" Mac Davis, 1974Jim | |
| WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES THINK YOU ARE BRAGGING WHEN YOU ARE SHARING? Judging from the many threads of late, suggesting that us lowly, lower ranked audio enthusiasts, or the public in general, somehow despise both, those with the means to buy the most pricey stuff and their uber expensive systems - I’d say it seems ... | |
| Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene @asvjerry "Don't Drink the Graphene!" "one-molecule strand across a doorway would slice one in half"WOW! You just gave them two wonderful, or not so wonderful, new ideas for the use of Graphene:A Powdered Graph... | |
| Accuracy vs. musicality A while back, I had a chance to audition several, highly reviewed and totted speakers. One of the speakers that I spent some time with, was a $12K pr. of Raidhos - a smaller 2 way with dedicated stands. With their ceramic drivers, the little Raidh... |
