| Mordaunt-Short loudspeakers i'm not too familiar with their recent offerings (aviano,mezzo etc.), but i've owned their avant and (80s) MSxx and been impressed---per br3098 they are extremely high value propositions and very well reviewed in the uk. their high-end performance... | |
| Stick a fork in Dylan, he's done. dylan's the best-ever lyricist who's earned his critical reverence, but it's time tell the emperor he has no clothes. personally, i rarely feel compelled to listen to his post "blonde on blonde" stuff, the overrated-but-still-great "blood on the t... | |
| Home theater with hard drive music - Totally lost. rl, i don't think the oppo will stream apple lossless--would the OP be better served with something like an apple airport express (which can be controlled with the imac) and a garden variety bluray player? | |
| Low budget, just for fun i like your 1. because of shipping costs, you're probably locked into craigslist for receiver/speakers.2. unless you need a remote, i'd opt for a vintage receiver, maybe something like a modestly powered yamaha or pioneer --much more aesthetic tha... | |
| B&K Web Pages taken down 12/12 i believe that the urc rx700 is the same remote as the b&k sr10.1--you might contact urc to get your software. | |
| what Fi? interesting, if ultimately unsolvable question. in the auto world, lines are cleanly drawn on the basis of cost; thus a $15k Toyota Corrola would be considered entry-level (lo-fi), the $33k Avalon would be mid-fi and the $70k Lexus LS would be hi-... | |
| need suggestion for which speaker matchs NAD M2 psb and nad are owned by the same company and i always see them auditioned together--the psb synchrony line is great. | |
| Why does my receiver volume go from -db to +17db my amp goest to 11... | |
| "NEWEST'" Favorite album ghost, since you're now a spirit of eden devotee, check out comsat angels "waiting for a miracle" and "sleep no more"; also roy harper's "hq". lemme know what you think... | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... i can understand that the op would be unhappy about a reviewer dissing/devaluing his very expensive amp. what i'm puzzled by is the other posters objecting to a reviewer publishing a negative review--esp. since stereophile is oft accused of being ... | |
| "NEWEST'" Favorite album a couple i'll toss in:talk talk--spirit of eden. always thought of these guys as middleweight duran duran wannabes, but this record, however, is incredible--trippy, intense, hypnotic. i bet radiohead spent alot of their formative years listening t... | |
| Hoodoo Gurus suggestion i've got spy v spy on my list. a couple other ozzies to check out:1. orange humble band, assorted creams--virtually perfect pop written by the guy from lime spiders (a good but not transcendent band), but sung by ken stringfellow from the posies a... | |
| Are you still playing CDs after, comp based syst? i'm aware as i write this that i've lost my integrity as audiophile, but like bondmanp et. al., i've become addicted to the convenience of SBT and to MOG. these days i listen to CDs mainly because i feel guilty about having so many shiny discs sim... | |
| What, if any, component to upgrade? Advice? simao, you speak of wanting more "presence", thus i'm surprised that no one has suggested adding a sub--your monitors only extend down to 60hz or so and might benefit from more low-end depth. hsu subs are awesome for the price, i also like mirage ... | |
| George Harrison - '' It Don't Come Easy '' there's an acoustic george harrison tribute album (i believe just called 'tribute') by yim yames (a/k/a jim james) from my morning jacket, who i've opined is one of the best singers of this era. found it on mog. candidly, i never conected with geo... |
