| Your First System Some kind of boombox, I forget what brand. I then bought a cd player but ran it through my ex-girlfriend's Onkyo reciever so I guess that doesn't really count. I guess that makes my 1st truly real system a Rega Planet, a Bryston B-60, some kind of... | |
| Blue Note RVG Editions remasters, sound better? I would also recomment checking out the Verve Master Editions, easy to find, excellent sound, nice packaging, regular cd prices. | |
| Blue Note RVG Editions remasters, sound better? You can by the direct from Fantasy Records at this linkhttp://www.fantasyjazz.com/html/20-bits_main.htmlBut I usually just buy them at my local record shop. | |
| Blue Note RVG Editions remasters, sound better? I may sound like a broken record, but don't forget the K2's, same mastering chain as XRCD's for normal cd prices. A great deal, I'm collecting 'em all. | |
| Hum and s-video cable? It has nothing to do with your s-video cable it is a ground loop hum probably related to cable television. I'm assuming you have cable tv, if so get a cheater plug from any hardware plug to check, if the hum disapears when the ground is lifted you... | |
| Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner Wow, who knew this seemingly innocent thread would ruffle so many feathers? I have to say to Tireguy and Fmpnd that Audiogon would be lessened by your absence. However perhaps everyone is being just a bit touchy here. Lets remember, we're talking ... | |
| No posting from me for awhile Travel safely Albert! Italy is my favorite country to travel to, point your camera at some of those ultra-stylish Milanese women if you can. | |
| Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner Rob,I must say you really left us hangin' there. You say it's easy to tell the two apart, you give a great description of the Wadia and say you prefer it, and then not a word about the Meitner. How is it different, what did you like about it, what... | |
| Do You Remember Your First CD Player? How embarrassing. This shows both how young I am and how poor I was for a rather long time. I got my first cd in 1994 when a store I was working at just out of college was selling off a few cd's it played in the store for a $1 each. Even though I ... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? I've had great success with RS Cables Illume`, a silver cable in teflon insulation terminated with Eichmann Silver Bullet Plugs. It's really a remarkably transparent, neutral cable and it retails for $149 with a money back gaurantee. It replaced a... | |
| Music you would like to turn someone on to. The Asylum Street Spankers. Easily the best band any of you have never heard of, try www.asylumstreetspankers.com. No affiliation, just a big fan. | |
| Moving from SS to tube system Lvb,I would have to say that my Cary 300b's are neutral and well-extended in the treble and not dull at all. It may of course be a relative thing, if you're used to bright and edgy solid state perhaps you might think the treble dull, but even then... | |
| Moving from SS to tube system What are your speakers? I have Cary 300B monos with Alon Lotus speakers and the combo is indeed magic as Ken has suggested above. The Cary's can be had for around $2K and I've seen the Alons for as low as $1500, which is a shame considering how go... | |
| Remembering Jerry Garebear, I knew that!, where "happy birthday" came from I have no idea! How embarassing. Anyway, hopefully you got the idea. The Grateful Dead were my major in college and so I owe Jerry a lot. 65 shows just wasn't enough. Peace. | |
| speaker for golden tube se-40 amp For just a bit more look for a used pair of Alon Lotuses. I've seen them in the $1200 range and they're awesome with low powered tube amps. Good luck! |
