| guitar solos where less is more on dwight twilley's "i'm on fire" there's an incredible three-second guitar break (shortest on record?). on the same lp, sincerely, check out the solo on the title track, which always brings tears to my eyes. | |
| Bose 901 series VI & Yamaha A-S2000 almarg is unquestionably the smartest person on these forums. possibly in the world. therefore, you should follow his counsel. | |
| Your perfectly produced/performed studio rock song "expecting to fly", the buffalo springfield song. its producer, jack neitzche, is best known for beating up neil young's ex-girlfriend, the actress carrie snodgrass. | |
| Need advice on upgrading amplifier for Paradigm S1 fwiw, i heard the paradigm s1s mated with a naim nait integrated (50w) and it sounded great--all the resolution, dynamics, etc. you seek | |
| What more possibly could they offer consumers? i think the focus is going to be less on developing new products than on developing new ways to sell--the traditonal model of walking into a bricks-and-mortar store to discover and purchase things will continue to decline and avenues like groupon,... | |
| Reciver/Integrated same sound? obviously, merely being made by the same maufacturer won't cause the integrated and receiver to sound identical (any more than a lexus will perform like a scion). assuming the integrated and amp have identical power supplies, transformers and othe... | |
| Changer if you want to save some dough, the denon dcm380 has a (remote accessible) variable out and actually sounds very good. not exactly a paragon of build quality, but you can find 'em real cheap on ebay. the older sony c70es (in addition to the models... | |
| Magnepan or Carver??? drumhead makes a really good point--you need a ton of power for either the maggies or the carver. another consideration is that many people (myself included) feel the maggies need a sub or two (they don't go as deep as the carvers). yet another co... | |
| Which band's vinyl catalog is consistently great? Pinebender!!! A criminally underrecognized Chicago band. Sort of a lumbering drum sound, but I dig it. Major props to Kevvwill for invoking them. | |
| Considering Sonus Faber Liuto, Revel F52, JM labs manitunc, you've got an enviable shortlist. my $.002:1. the revels are outstanding (i have the lesser f32s)--transparent, huge soundstage, wholly non-fatiguiging--but need a ton of high-quality power, so make sure your amp is sufficient2. the psb ... | |
| What is the function/pupose of music plyr/streamer 246, according to logitech the squeezebox touch does play apple lossless as well as flac (you are correct that they are different codecs). i've been using my touch for a week or so now and i've become a fan--it's quite addictive once you get past ... | |
| What is the function/pupose of music plyr/streamer i just posted with many of the same questions regarding my recently-acquired squeezebox touch and learned the following:1. my squeezebox does play flac (apple lossless files), which a number of other media players won't; if the device doen't state... | |
| Smooth/Musical Bookshelves upto $1500 - $2000 totem model one, psb synchrony or dynaudio focus might fit your bill | |
| how much power esp. with your reasonably efficient speakers, it's the quality, not the quantity of power they're fed. the weak point of most avrs (incl. denon) is the amp section--one of the most significant night-and-day improvements i've made was bypassing the... | |
| Budget Chinese Tube amps - any good? i recently bought a yaqin for the same reason as the op states--to try tubes for cheap. as others have posted, build quality ain't great; however, it sounded surprisingly good--it made me want to buy better-built, snazzier tube gear. now, i enjoy ... |
