| Favorite Guitar Solo Lots of great choices here. As my favorite guitarist is Buck Dharma from Blue Oyster Cult, most any of his solos are my favorites - all very tasty stuff. Otherwise, I got weary of the whole 'guitar solo' stuff around the time that punk came in in ... | |
| All New Totaldac D100 Loudspeakers....The HOLY GRAIL OF SPEAKERS ?! Sounds like something their marketing department might say.... | |
| Lack of Female Representation This has always puzzled me as well; it's not like women can't tell the difference in sound quality of various gear, and I'd think most of those would prefer something that sounds better than something else. So I don't know why this seems to approa... | |
| Where are the young audiophiles? All about demographics and disposable income. And a lot has to do with the fact that a phone and earbuds is perfectly OK to most of them. As they get older and have more money to spend, some of those might decide to see if they can get the music t... | |
| transistor pre with the sound of tubes I've got tube gear, so you definitely do not have to be mature! | |
| How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to? I've got about 500 or so; used to have way more than that before I sold a bunch when CD's came out. Most of what I have are ones I got for free when I was in the record business in the 70's and early 80's. Sometimes I look for newer things, but no... | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system I just recently upgraded my vinyl setup with a Technics SL-1200G with a Clearaudio Charisma MM cart, going into a Herron Audio VTPH2a phono stage and a Herron Audio VTSP-360 line stage; never knew vinyl could sound like that before!!! | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? I used to listen to digital exclusively for many a decade; had records, but they just didn't thrill me on the system I had. I recently upgraded my analog system, and it's like listening to those records again for the first time, they sound so diff... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Hard to say - I've got a few hundred records and I like to just close my eyes and pull them out at random; I come across things I haven't heard in many a decade that are surprisingly good, especially with an upgraded vinyl system.... | |
| WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? Side 2 of Lou Reed's 'Metal Machine Music'.... | |
| Brand Synergy It can't hurt! Personally, I like to do it; I've got an MSB power amp, DAC/preamp, and Universal Disc Player, and Herron Audio phono stage and line stage preamps... | |
| Favorite obsolete formats..... Edison wax cylinder, of course! | |
| Preamp for Herron VTPH-2A BTW, Keith has upgraded the VTSP-360 to the VTSP-Ref; I just bought one a few weeks ago, along with a VTPH-2A. Both sound AMAZING going into my MSB S-200 power amp and Harbeth Super HL-5 speakers, and they're still a long way from being fully brok... | |
| I must be old I didn't understand the big deal about vinyl - I had a Rega TT with an Exact cartridge, and I got no thrill out of the vinyl I had and would go years without playing a record. Just recently upgraded my vinyl system with a Technics SL-1200G TT, Cle... | |
