| Adding a Herron VTSP 3A/360 Preamplifier to the system. @vinylvalet - when I ordered mine from Keith, he asked me whether I wanted a faceplate that said 'Reference' or one that said '360' (preamp identical, just different text on the faceplate); I went with '360' - it still says 'Reference' when it boo... | |
| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 One thing about the Fritz speakers - they took a LONG time to break-in, but they finally got there and sound beautiful and they ROCK! I'd say they are more 'rock and roll' speakers than Harbeths are.... I also had to adjust my seating distance so ... | |
| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 Interesting comparisons! I've got a pair of Fritz Carrerra BE's and Harbeth Super SL-5; right now the Fritz's are what I'm using in my 2-channel system. I don't know whether I'm going to keep or sell the Harbeths.... | |
| The Good Stuff There are simply two kinds of music - one that a particular person likes and one that that particular person does not like. I like a lot of rock and pop, and I could list hundreds of examples of GREAT music, but that list would be too long. I don'... | |
| What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey? WHFS - Bethesda, MDWCMF - Rochester, NYKOME (from '74 - '75 - all prog rock, all the time) - San Jose | |
| Looking for a headphone amplifier recommendation for Sennheiser HD 800 S headphones I just recently upgraded my system and sold my Quicksilver headphone amp - I think it is fantastic value for the money - super well-made and heavy, and sounds creamy-smooth with the right tube compliment and headphones like the Utopia... I do not ... | |
| Rock musicians with musical education. If Schubert don't like it, it's garbage, end of story. Better start throwing out my music collection.... | |
| Adding a Herron VTSP 3A/360 Preamplifier to the system. I've had the 360 and the VTPH2a phono preamp for about 6 months now, and they are wonderful. Give it a few weeks to break in after you get it and the sound will continue to improve. I used to run an MSB DAC into my MSB S-200 amp and that sounded g... | |
| The "British Invasion". A question for you old farts out there. Actually, I remember the much bigger 'rivalry' was between the Beatles and the Monkees. Any DC 5 rivalry would have been over pretty quickly... | |
| Top 5 Reaons to NOT BUY A TURNTABLE. I sure enjoy watching Steve's (and many other YouTube reviewers) videos a lot more than reading certain posts on Agon forums. I enjoy reading most posts, though. | |
| RME-ADI-2 owners, do you use all the features? I had that DAC for awhile in my headphone setup, just because I liked its stock sound better than the Hugo 2 I had been using; I didn't use any of those features, and I just sold it, in fact, as I replaced it with a DAVE + M Scaler, which I then r... | |
| The "British Invasion". A question for you old farts out there. I liked most of what I heard on our local AM radio station and wasn't really in with any cliques, except most of what I liked was British and/or psychedelic. Then went on to prog rock, metal, punk, post-punk, indie, reggae, and Grateful Dead, and ... | |
| If someone looked through you music (records, CDs, etc.) what would surprise them? That I've got the complete collection of all Grateful Dead live box sets, even though I'm mostly into heavy rock, punk, post-punk, indie, prog-rock, reggae, and even some hip-hop.... | |
| Who are the Stand Up Guy's and Gals in this Audio Industry? @arafiq + 1 on Fritz Heiler!! Hung out with Fritz at my place for about 3 hours when he brought by a pair of Carrera speakers for me a couple of months ago - great dude - Fritz rocks! | |
| How do you listen? Louder on headphones than on speakers as I wish to remain in my apartment! But I generally prefer 'really loud' at the venue itself rather than the sound reproduction.... |
