| Looking for Silent Fan Cooling f my ARC Tube AMP As for quiet fans, I found this site a while back that sells ultra quiet fans for PC's. I've never dealt with them so I can't attest to the quality of their service, but you might check out their catalog and see if there are products available tha... | |
| Music industry troubles caused by radio? Lugnut - As to your point about the rise in popularity of CD's in the 80's, I believe that your assertion that they sounded worse than LP's is somewhat incorrect. For 90% of the music listeners, the CD player represented an enormous advance in aud... | |
| Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music? Absolutely! Macallan 18 and (if company permits) a Davidoff Millenium, or a good Zinfandel with Lindt chocolate. | |
| Smooth, "Film Like" Treble: Happiness At Last... Last year a bought a small Panasonic Tau TV for the bedroom. In the store, this set stood out as having the best overall picture of the bunch, and was reasonably inexpensive as well, so I took it. After getting home and hooking it up, I realized t... | |
| Here, there a Chick, Where else a Chick Corea ? Doh! I'd completely forgotten about Mad Hatter, and I have, and love this album. The disk is outstanding from start to finish, and sports an absolutely fantastic collection of musicians playing at their peak (Steve Gadd, Joe Farrell, Eddie Gomez, ... | |
| Here, there a Chick, Where else a Chick Corea ? Oddly enough, I just finished listening to an old copy of "My Spanish Heart", which is a very nice double solo album that he recorded in the mid 70's. In addition, one of my all time favorites of his is a quirky, fun album done about the same time... | |
| Is Remote Control Important? Remote controlled volume is very important to me, and does play a part in what components I consider for purchase. | |
| Turntable/Cartridge/Phono Stage questions Sound aside, the 4002 is a *very* nice looking turntable, and worth keeping in the system for aesthetic reasons alone. If you search Google for "B&O Cartridges" you'll find several stores that stock B&O cartridges and should be able to pro... | |
| Latest Peter Gabriel I haven't picked it up yet, but I did spend a little time listening to it at local music shop. I wasn't entirely impressed with it, although I did like a few of the cuts quite a bit. I agree with you though - its great to hear Peter Gabriel's voic... | |
| Press release Musical Fidelity 308 Ack! The first thing that makes me run for the hills when listening to a description of any piece of audio gear is "it will blow the pants off of equipment 10 times its price". This is like saying "better than the leading national brand" or "accor... | |
| What do you know about the Pro-Ac Subwoofer????? I spent a bit of time a few weeks back listening to the ER-One with the 1SC's and came away a bit disappointed. Generally, I thought the bass was a little flabby and didn't extend to the lower frequencies very well. I played with the crossover a t... | |
| have u heard Conrad Johnson's tube CD player? I've used a DA2b for a year or so and have found that the unit is very sensitive to the tubes it uses, but once dialed in will sound wonderful. Also, its very sensitive to jitter, which means that a good transport and digital cable is needed to ge... | |
| Why Not Semi-Automatic Style Turntables? I'm with you 100% on this one Peter. Both lifts and remotes are absolute necessities for me, and I can't understand how a simple lifting mechanism can increase the cost of a multi-thousand dollar turntable in any noticeable way. The same goes for ... | |
| Diana Krall - What is your favorite CD of hers? "All For You" and "When I Look in Your Eyes" are my two favorites, although I have most of her recordings and think they're all excellent. I agree with Tireguy about "The Look of Love" - the engineering isn't really up to par with the rest of her ... | |
| Frankenstein System, but trying to make it work Another choice of remote volume control for the budget minded is a Creek OBH-10. I've never heard one, but the reviews of it, and the OBH-12 at AudioReview are very favorable. |
