| Dark Side of the Moon - Is MFSL really all that? SACD | |
| Top five live Rock And Roll Albums U2 Red Rocks deserves mention. The Who Live at Leeds is more than a live album, it was a seminal revelation as to what Rock could be. Transcendent. | |
| What is going on? No-one buys good stuff priced right. There may not be a single reason for this. My experience has been that from 2009-2013 I was able to buy a lot of great gear for far less than it’s available for now. For example I found an ML 26 for $400 and that included 3 sets of CAMACS. Lots of... | |
| Upgrade my DAC or buy more weed? Best thread ever. | |
| What is the single best pre amp you have ever hear ML 26 if you can get past the CAMACS... | |
| Ortofon Red vs. Ortofon Blue I've owned the Red, Blue, Bronze, and Black. (Unfortunately only able to listen to the Bronze for a little while due to its becoming a casualty to the cleaning lady's dust rag. Imagine my surprise when the cartridge hit the vinyl.)I'd say they a... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? "Remember to kick it over. No one will guide you. Armagideon time" -- The Clash, Armagideon Time (although it is a cover)"F*** it all and f***ing no regrets" - Metallica, Damage Inc."Given a choice between you and me, you pick you, and I'll pick... | |
| Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends? There are tons of speakers at tons of price points (I guess that goes for all the gear). That is one part of what is the beauty of this hobby, albeit that it can seem very confusing until you get into it a while and realize that there is no commo... | |
| Top Ten Rock Vocalists As a collector of rare concert footage, I have seen a fair amount of Guns 'n' Roses live footage, and it is pretty clear that there must have been a lot of studio takes to get an on-key performance. He appears to be pretty tone-deaf live. Simila... | |
| Austrailian rock and roll INXS? Their first album is pretty darned good, and they had a lot of hits after that...Oh, and The Saints - classic 70s punk. | |
| Lo-Fi, Mid-Fi or Hi-Fi- What's your system and why? Mid Fi: Wyred 4 Sound DAC2->Mark Levinson ML26->Rogue Magnum M-120 monoblocks->Magnepan 3.3rs (recently recapped and reglued)+REL Brittania Subs. According to the mags, that system would barely be on the radar since it didn't require a HE... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Lights Out is a classic. Not exactly HiFi, but hey, sometimes you need something that just moves you! | |
| Whats playing on your system today? A mix of modern punky stuff - Franz Ferdinand, Strokes, Jesse Malin, Benjamin Booker, a few others. Have my server set on shuffle to a mood I've named "Good Comp, Bad Comp." I like vinyl, but there is really something to be said for putting time... | |
| Do 180g vinyls sound better or is it a myth ? My take: a 180G pressing means that someone at some point at least thought about representing it as higher quality, meaning there is a greater probability that care was taken with the record production and pressing. But that is all it is - you ca... | |
| Any suggestion on DAC below $1,500 Wyred4Sound. And they're upgradeable! I've received excellent support and the sound is excellent. |
