| Anyone familiar with "White Stripes" ??? Definitely a fun band worth checking out. More information at the link: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=Bjpx1z81a1yvo | |
| Are You Happy? Seandtaylor99 - I agree with your percentages - that's exactly how I'd break down my CD collection. There are definitely CD's I'll never put on again, but it's a small %.I disagree that alcohol can't improve a bright, overly-compressed recording. ... | |
| Deciding on the right huge speaker I'm a Dynaudio fan through and through - if I were truly going to purchase speakers in this caliber, I'd have to be convinced to buy something other than the Temptations.I recently heard the LAT2's ($10K monitors) - they weren't very impressive so... | |
| Ebay auctions referenced at AudiogoN? I don't mind any of it - when I'm looking through the classifieds, I expect a large number of ads I'm not interested in - most of these just fall into that category. All in all, A'gon has a high percentage of quality ads, but it's the nature of th... | |
| rock/jazz fusion Well then don't take this list over to www.allmusic.com and start hot-linking from these groups to related groups - your budget will never recover! On the other hand, for questions like this one, that site will give you more ideas than you can eve... | |
| Deciding on the right huge speaker My room is 14x18x7.5 and would clearly not be appropriate for any of the speakers I (or anyone else) has mentioned. Again, I'm asking out of curiousity for the process, not because I'm going to go do this right now.Phantom1 - you're absolutely rig... | |
| Are You Happy? Maybe it's musical genres that make the difference too - I went to see Tool in concert a couple months ago and it was awesome. I play Tool on my home system (their CDs are exceptionally well recorded) and it raises (almost) the same level of goose... | |
| Are You Happy? Not trying to be critical, but how do you amass 3000 CDs and find 90% of them unenjoyable? I'd think you'd stop after a few hundred.I have about 1000 CDs. I like the vast majority, though I'd only call some of the them excellent. Still, I attribut... | |
| Deciding on the right huge speaker I really appreciate everybody's advice. I have to clarify that I'm not currently looking to buy a pair of huge speakers - my room wouldn't allow for it, my finances wouldn't appreciate it. I read a lot of reviews of speakers, and comments on forum... | |
| NEW Musical Fidelity DAC Where would you advertise if you were Creek or YBA? There are obviously companies that try to go word-of-mouth for their advertising, but if you're going to run print ads, don't you pretty much have to go through Stereophile, or maybe a combinatio... | |
| NEW Musical Fidelity DAC Upscaleaudio - lots of good points and interesting insight. I wouldn't, however, liken anybody's assertions to be conspiratorial to the point of being ludicrous. If nothing else, even if MF is the greatest value / gear ever made, what's up with co... | |
| Can you help or do I have to get divorced? How are you planning on using a speaker like the Spendors? Your original post suggested that you couldn't put them on stands and seemed to imply that you had very little flexibility on placement. They're great little speakers, from all reports, bu... | |
| Can you help or do I have to get divorced? A couple of years ago somebody introduced some speakers that were basically planars with a small cone speaker that were covered with famous art and were made to be hung on walls. They were claimed to sound pretty decent, but that was just by the s... | |
| Experience with Thiel 1.6 I found the TAS preview (they said it wasn't based on enough exposure to constitute a full review yet) was amazingly positive, especially given the flak they created when they made less-than-positive comments about the 7.2's. This one is "an insta... | |
| Hobby or Lifestyle? If you're looking for a tax writeoff, it doesn't matter if it's a hobby or a lifestyle, neither is deductible. You could start a business of equipment "reselling" and, as long as you showed a profit some % of years, could keep a lot of gear going ... |
