| Favorite scream in rock? How about Johnny Winter on Muddy Water’s Hard Again Album? Mannish Boy cut & others. Turn that up loud on a good, powerful system & you’ve got some real blues fun! | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers The generally larger physical size & often non symmetrical overall shape w/ outboard motors or arm boards of the better turntables necessitates that dust covers are not in play when the table is in use. That said, there’s likely a reason thes... | |
| … "And the government shall be upon his shoulders" Wrong forum but who truly thinks we have separation of Church & State? The repeal of Roe V Wade is proof we do not.. The Catholic Church owning half of Boston & pays no taxes is another one…. | |
| What Speaker Cables Taught Me About Audiophiles If you think about it, other than a live performance of symphonic music in a good hall w/ good seats, when do you actually experience layers of depth in live music? I have been fortunate enough to attend Symphony Hall in Boston for BSO concerts ( ... | |
| Magico - Wide vs. Narrow If I recall correctly, the Snells had an overall bigger soundstage w/ a wider sweet spot but the Proacs had better image specificity & depth. To be fare though, the room I had the Snells in before I switched to the Proac did not allow me to pu... | |
| Magico - Wide vs. Narrow I owned & really enjoyed the Snell A- III’s back in the earlier 80’s & they were excellent in many ways. Amongst many other things, they used only average quality ( for the day) drivers that they carefully individually tested to ensure ver... | |
| Is the microwave the perfect model for audio marketting? It’s interesting to note that most high end audio equipment, other than newer combo preamp, streamer , DAC offerings is generally very simple & easy to use albeit may require some patience & tweaking to sound their best. Wrong forum bu... | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? I found years ago that big band jazz is pretty easy to enjoy & “ understand “ for someone unfamiliar w/ much of jazz as I was. It’s generally more structured w/ less improvisation. stuartK’s explanation of jazz is excellent & it may sound... | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 The only two DACS I’ve directly compared in my system are the PS Audio Direct stream Mark II & the Bricasti M1 Series II. It wasn’t close as the Bricasti was better in every way from build quality to sound quality. The Bricasti is built very w... | |
| Shrink Totem 1's? Great answers!! If you do cut them down, don’t worry about those two brass colored round things sticking out the back or the other funny looking electronic things connected to them probably just on the other side of them, they’re not really that i... | |
| Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup You may want to consider a pre - owned Rogers High Fidelity tube integrated amp they offer direct w/ their full lifetime warranty. They offer a free home trial too. I compared their EHF 200 Mark II to the top Prima Luna & it was in a completel... | |
| Do you have a perfect digital marriage? Innuos Zenith Mark III into a Bricasti M 1 Series II. Probably all I’ll ever need or have until I get really old & someone makes a really good all in one speaker, amp, streamer, DAC . Looks like Focal / Naim is on their way. | |
| My wife weighed in…she wants piano white tower/bookshelf The newspaper sh PS audio speaker line is available in white & they’re very good. Worth a look & listen. | |
| Should I use Audiopoints under Aerial 10T spikes on hardwood floor? Nice speakers! I users to own them years ago & the they like & need lots of power especially in a big room if you play them loudly which they are very capable of doing. I don’t see many folks here mentioning this & I'm sure many wo... | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit I would think a tube power amp would eat tubes much more quickly than a preamp? And big power tubes are generally much more expensive. If anything, I think a tube preamp combined w/ a really good solid state power amp would be the best combo if yo... |
