| What about Dan Clark? If you want to know about headphones, I'd suggest going to a forum like head-fi - there is not much action on this particular one compared to that.... I guess most A'gon people don't do cans, or at least talk about 'em. | |
| Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K I like Marten speakers from Sweden. When auditioning against Dynaudio Heritage Special and YG Tor, the Marten Oscar Duos hit me immediately as better rockin' speakers; I ended up going for the even higher model, the Parker Duo, just because the up... | |
| Steely Dan Aja cover ... and I gotta say that all these years that always seemed somewhat flaggy red white and blue. Nice to see what it really is.... | |
| Steely Dan Aja cover @asvjerry - ever see Woody Allen's 'What's Up, Tiger Lily'? That's kind of how that works.... | |
| Your greatest high end audio purchase!!! That would be my MSB S-200 power amp; it's my one component I've not thought about upgrading, and I've had it for over 10 years. | |
| It's attention, not money, we should budget 30% room might be good if you have a dedicated listening room, but I think it's a bit much for a room that serves a multitude of purposes.... | |
| Your Not-So-Obvious Best Fidelity LPs One of the best sounding records I've ever heard is ABC's 'Lexicon of Love' and its amazing production by Trevor Horn; for me, it's right up there with 'Aja' if not even better; I'd sure like to see a UHQR double-45 of this one.... | |
| Lowest priced MC thats better than a Premium MM? @lewm + 1 - dunno if there are many 'cheap MC's' that are on a performance level with my Clearaudio Charisma MM. Good question, though, as I'm interested in getting a headshell with an MC or MI just for a change of pace.... | |
| Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice I recently acquired a pair of Marten Parker Duos and matching stands for about that much, and I am extremely happy with them. I auditioned them at a dealer along with speakers from YG and Dynaudio, and the Marten sound appealed to me more for rock... | |
| Vinyl is back for good and that’s exciting I buy LP's because I like the sound of well-mastered, well-pressed ones, but even more important to me is the 12x12 physical size of the object; some people DO care about things like being able to see the artwork and be able to read lyrics and cre... | |
| What to ask when buying used speakers? I would ask if they were broken in yet or were still relatively new? That way I'd know what to expect from the sound over weeks or whatever.... | |
| Preamp headphone amplifier @soix + 1 - and even if the built-in one is not 'really bad', it would likely still be noticeably inferior to a relatively inexpensive but good separate headphone amp, so I would suggest looking into one. | |
| Technics SL-1210G Headshells, Record Weights, and Mats I might be mistaken, but I seem to recall that Technics tables are not designed to be used with record weights; don't know why. But I've got a 1200G and I don't use a record weight and don't feel a need for one. I do use a Clearaudio Charisma MM ... | |
| Bass lovers - Bela Fleck - Flight of the Cosmic Hippo @minkwelder - thank you for that correction; been a long time since I've seen or listened to them. Yeah, Victor is an amazing bassist, and I didn't realize he was FutureMan's brother - I love that instrument that FutureMan plays!! | |
| Bass lovers - Bela Fleck - Flight of the Cosmic Hippo That's FutureMan on the bass; he is really something.... |
