| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 @arafiq - it's amazing the amount of good sounding bass that those little Fritz speakers can put out. Certainly more than my Harbeths. The only problem I had with them was it took about 2 months or so before they were broken in properly and sounde... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @holmz - So selling you my Harbeth speakers would be out of the question then, yes? 😆 | |
| Bit the Dollar and bought headphones. @smatsui - great set of headphone gear you've got! I've got Susvara, Utopia, VO, and LCD-5, though I've got the VO's up for sale - great headphones but just didn't click with me and I don't want to deal with pad rolling. I also use an Auris Nirva... | |
| How much “suspension of disbelief do you need?” No such thing as an 'exact representation' anyway. From what vantage point? The sound will be different for every one.... 2 feet from the performer will not sound like 15 feet from the performer. Orchestra level will not sound like the balcony. Go... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @holmz - Heya! No, I've got some speakers and headphones up for sale, but not any TT.... | |
| Bit the Dollar and bought headphones. I'd also recommend the Quicksilver if you're looking for a tube headphone amp at a great price - I think it's just about $1000, and sounds like it should cost a lot more than that - hand-built in the US, too. Upgrade tubes for it are relatively in... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @holmz - I was just listening to The Streets a couple of nights ago - his first album, 'Original Pirate Material' is also excellent.... I got to see him perform here in San Francisco about 10 years ago or so... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @denverfred - heya! just wondering what does being able to read music, a vocalist's ability to play an instrument, etc have to do with anything? Plenty of great 'musicians' just bore the crap out of me because they're more concerned with showing o... | |
| NFL Playoffs Starts - What are u listening to? I'm not interested in drowning out the announcers - they know more than I do, and I like to know what's going on, and most are quite enjoyable for me. But before the game, I put on some good pounding metal to put me in the mood - Manowar is genera... | |
| I believe I experienced great PRAT for the first time @mijostyn + 1 - Great point; I've never understood it when somebody says a great system will get their foot tapping. Their foot wouldn't tap to the music on a lesser system? Hell, when I was a teenager, never took more than a handheld 1960's trans... | |
| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 @arafiq - you are right; my listening area is relatively small and those Fritz speakers worked very nicely there... I agree with your descriptions, too! | |
| Detachable Head shell or Not? I've got a Technics SL-1200G; it's got a detachable headshell and I'm perfectly happy with it.... |
