Amazing stuff.Stacey Kent: Let Yourself Go. Very fun collection of Fred Astaire tunes that swings with great piano. I nev... | |
| Ryan Adams-more than hype Hey, I'm new to this thread, and I'm new to Ryan Adams. I started listening to Demolition, Gold, and Whiskeytown's Pneumonia without knowing there was any hype surrounding him -- I didn't know about the Gap ad or Elton John etc. The more I listen ... | |
| replace/substitute 8" bextrene woofer? Actually, I do curdle with fear at the prospect of tinkering with the crossover. I really can't say just what's wrong with the woofer. No visible damage that I can see. Just the buzz on that bass solo. (I switched speakers and the buzz went away o... | |

| jolida 202 or 302? Yes, my speakers are inefficient (maybe around 86 - they're Tangent RS4s). But I have auditioned the 302 and the modified 202 with them, and I've not heard them sound so good before. So I'm sold on the tubes. It's true that I couldn't really crank... | |
| jolida 202 or 302? Thanks. I'll get a chance to do a head to head of the stock 302 and 202 next week. I've been inclined to follow Crazy4blues advice and get the 202 spend the extra money on tubes, etc (in part, I admit, because that extra $ is easiler to slip by wi... |
