| A song murdered by someone. Sometimes "murdering" a song can be as much about changing it as it is about doing a really bad rendition. In the case of Cohens Hallelujah, you may have seen the video of the little school girl in Ireland (?) who redid it as a Christian song. It ... | |
| Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday! It was a real bummer when Sony decided to stop supporting the big SACD players that they produced in the late 90's. I bought one of them. At the time, I thought it was great that "Sony" got into the fray with high end because certainly, they will ... | |
| What were your humble beginnings on the path to high end audio? This must be the humblest of all posts on this one. There was an ad on the back page of Parade magazine ( you know, basically a sunday paper insert). It was for an ELECTROPHONIC stereo system. Wow! It was crap of coarse but man, I put the headphon... | |
| Help with advice for high end speaker cables for my system! Elizabeth! Kimber 8TC are very nice cables! Snell used them for the Type A Reference as a proprietary harness. It would be difficult to get more bang for the buck. Happy listening. Joe | |
| Anthem or Emotiva If you don't require all the bells and whistles that the latest Anthem offers, consider the Anthem MRX710. I picked one up for $900.00. A steal! It blows everything away that I've tried at least in sound quality. Good luck. Joe | |
| Suggestions for an amp I own an Anthem MRX710. I picked it up for $900.00 It is SWEET. It delivers more detail than I had hoped for. Look for one! Good luck Joe | |
| Hard to sell my Klipsch Heritage Speakers for a possible Harbeth upgrade. I've bought and sold three sets of Snell Type B's due to sellers remorse. Speakers, especially large ones, are the most difficult of all components to sell (and sometimes replace). | |
| Highest detail cartridges There was a PBS program about the Library of Congress called "Save Our Sounds" (I have it on video tape). They look at each LP through a microscope and determine what type or shape the original cutting stylus was. They use the same shape playback ... | |
| What is this odd little box I've been storing for years? It's a gonkulator and as you know, WE make the best gonkulators. | |
| Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3 One thumbs up for Monitor Audio is the fact that they have been around a long time. Once a speaker manufacturer goes under, their product TUMBLES in price AND it can happen to anyone! (Wanna buy some Snell Type A 5's?). Joe | |
| What is this odd little box I've been storing for years? My first thought was "maybe it's part of something like the B&W bassalignment filter". Look at one. Joe | |
| insurance and shipping with UPS LTL shipping can be a nightmare in itself! A stereo shop in Florida thought they would do me a favor when I bought a set of B&W subwoofers, They put the subs in a large box with a minimum of packing. They obviously thought that the subs would... | |
| insurance and shipping with UPS It seems that all carriers have tightened their purse strings these days. I think it's necessary to well over pack all fragile items. I sent out a JVC video projector this year. I think the overall size of the box was three times larger than the p... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn - A dangerous pre! I always touch my metal equipment rack. It does the job of grounding. I also use a PS Audio line conditioner. It keeps things like stray voltages at bay. Joe | |
| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR Nothing in this hobby looses value like speakers! That's great if your looking to buy. In many cases top notch speakers sell for less than 20% of the original retail price. Look around. There's deals a plenty. Good luck Joe |
