| Nad M3 non repairable i've always called 'em Not Again, Damnit--their reputation for unreliability and bafflingly unresponsive customer service is richly deserved. Virtually every time I pick up a NAD piece it misfunctions, usually in some small but hugely annoying way... | |
| Most overrated bands roberjerman, i don't wholly disagree about the stones. although they still could crank out the odd great song thru the early 80s, some girls was their last essential album, and even some girls did not match their beggars banquet/sticky fingers/exi... | |
| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers i agree with the foregoing sentiments (which makes me re-think why i'm posting...). more watts, as opposed to higher-quality watts, won't really help. your yamaha seems like a good match for your speakers; you seem to enjoy it and i'd be inclined ... | |

| 1980s Nakamichi Separates Advice needed if you look at ebay sales, the pa7 and ca7 still command lofty prices ($800-1000 each)--those pass designs have a lot of fans. you can get quite a bit of potentially less problematic, more modern gear for that, which would be my inclination as well. | |
| Killing Joke anyone??? a logical progression from kj are the comsat angels, whose first three classic records (miracle, sleep no more, fiction) are for some mysterious reason not widely available--more melodic and not as frenetic as kj, but equally angsty--think of a jo... | |
| Killing Joke anyone??? in a parallel universe hi-end audio stores would use killing joke or fugazi for test cds instead of the inevitable diana krall or patricia barber | |
| Best Budget CD/SACD Player? imo, the best values are in pre-bluray universal dvd players such as sony es, integra (8.3/10.5) pioneer elite (79/59)--you can find 'em for as little as a hundo and they're very serviceable as transports, esp. since you're getting a dac | |
| Favorite Dylan? song for song highway 61 may be his best, but blonde on blonde is, to me, the best sounding, best sung record he's done. i'm not as big a big fan of his post-john wesley harding stuff (and always thought blood on the tracks was a tad overrated), b... | |
| Entering the world of audio, help with first setup- speakers to pair with Peachtree 220SE strolling through the classifieds here i saw a pair of dynaudio focus 260 and also some dunlavy iii, both excellent. no relation to the sellers. | |
| Best Music Streaming Hardware Options for streaming most here will recommend the bluesound node 2, which is around $500, sounds vg and is very user-friendly--you can also find the node n100 for around $300. the cheaper solution would be the chromecast audio ($35) + a modest dac like t... | |

| What Bookshelf / Stand Mounted Speakers To Pair With Vintage Electronics? i always thought that vintage receivers play best with speakers of the same era, so i'd look for a/d/s (710, 810, etc.); ar is also a good rec | |
| Killing Joke anyone??? i never thought of the nirvana connection either, but it is spot-on (allmusic actually cites kj as influencing nirvana, as well as helmet, ministry and soundgarden). the most frequently-cited influence on nirvana is the wipers, who were sort of an... | |
| Killing Joke anyone??? sorry you disapprove, psag. did you have anything to offer? |
