Squeeze Concert including one odd tidbit
o well. it was a good thread while it lasted. 
Squeeze Concert including one odd tidbit
marty--in deference to your response i relistened to sfp--what's curious about the song is that, at least by squeeze's standard, it's largely unadorned/unarranged--until you get to the bridge it's really just difford (tilbrook?) and his acoustic g... 
Squeeze Concert including one odd tidbit
marty, on your sayso i listened "some fantastic place" critically. it's a poignant lyric and i can see why you're so moved by it. very personally, tho, it didn't grab me as much melodically as say. "vickyverky" or my beloved "up the junction"; dif... 
Squeeze Concert including one odd tidbit
good story, marty. to me, tho, their great lyric is "up the junction," which is like a great tragicomic novel in three minutes. 
Recs for solid state integrated, $2-3,000 range
just heard a parasound halo integrated--awfully impressive for the 2k pricetag, with every bell-and-whistle 
Help Equipment for media room
poncho, you're probably best served getting an avr--virtually all the major players (denon, marantz, yamaha, etc.) make networking/wi fi receivers which have all the requisite audio/video connections and let you connect wirelessly to pandora/spoti...

did you try replacing the fuses on the rear panel and the internal fuses? (unplug the unit first) 
Tone of Muisc, SF - worst hifi experience. Yours?

Tone of Muisc, SF - worst hifi experience. Yours?
you got to feel some sympathy for the b&m dealers, who are forced to deal with the ever-increasing number of "customers" who are there merely to audition gear to buy on the internet. on the other hand, there is still a significant class of peo... 
Anybody into 80s big music?
not exactly the glossy, symphonic sound contemplated by the original post, but i just dusted off two 80s guitar bands which blew me away, both from alabama (of all places) and both available on spotify: primitons and carnival season. primitons, in... 
"All Things Must Pass"-Tower Records Documentary
at various times i lived or worked near the sf, chicago and broadway towers and they really were the epicenter of my existence. as a retailer, i always had my qualms--they were pricey and sorta big-box impersonal--but they had a fantastic selectio... 
Anybody into 80s big music?
alot of the glossier, new-wavy stuff hasn't held up that well, but i still reach back to the slightly edgier, guitar-oriented english bands of that era--echo, chameleons uk, icicle works, smiths. also the sound, comsat angels and lucy show (somewh... 
Your Help with Media Player
i ended up with an oppo 103 after trying a western digital wd live media player. probably needless to say, the oppo's an impressive piece of machinery which sounds great--you really would need to spend a lot more money to get much better. that sai... 
Peachtree Audio Nova - No subwoofer connection
it looks like your sub has speaker level connections--why not try using them (i.e. amp to sub)?
