| Sun Kil Moon "Admiral Fell Promises" caught kozolek live in chicago last weekend at lincoln hall a very nice, new 400 or so capacity venue. very weird show. he stuck exclusively to his nylon string spanish guitar and played brilliantly--the expected mix of new and red house painter s... | |
| Cassette Deck?? kudos to martinmobile for carrying the cassette torch. like him, i've hoarded a gazillion cassettes over the years, including alot of cool stuff which'll never get released on cd, and thus still cling stubbornly to the medium. tapes aren't intrins... | |
| opinions on Rega RS1 speakers depending on your room size, placement, etc., you might not need a sub (your call, of course)--i'd guesstimate they go down to the mid 50s or so, which isn't earthshaking, but what low end is there is very tight and musical. when i auditioned 'em ... | |
| opinions on Rega RS1 speakers mcgarick, as glene opined your first impressions are spot-on--the regas are a really, accurate, well-balanced speaker. i suspect they're overlooked because of their low price, unassuming looks and light weight. their key attribute is they're imper... | |
| Does anyone have info on a Denon dcd-3520 I'm currently using the 3520 as a transport in my main listening system (with an mf v-dac) and i couldn't be happier. smooth, built like a tank, reads everything i throw at it, and (unlike modern denon gear) bulletproof. as a standalone player, it... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... richard stacy, that weeknd disc is very cool (as well as free). thanks for the heads up. | |
| It was 44 years ago that... i gotta agree with rockadanny--sgt. pepper was certainly eagerly awaited and massively hyped, but aside from more lavish production didn't really do anything musically that different from rubber soul or revolver (or for that matter, from pet sound... | |
| Bowers & Wilkins - B&W blackm, this may be a blinding glimpse of the obvious, but why not buy used? there's a number of cm-series speakers listed here on agon at deep discount off SRP; you could also run an ad in the "wanteds". | |
| What is inside a sound bar? a pal of mine has a jvc soundbar + wireless sub + wireless rear setup and it sounds very decent for tv and movies--genuinely immersive surround. i think he paid around $450 online. obviously, a quality conventional wired ht system is gonna sound a... | |
| Review: Polk Audio SDA-2 Speaker i just picked up a pair of sda2b, found this thread and like others was fairly amazed at how "modern" (and quite exceptional) they sound--as stated above, airy highs and very deep and tight low end. i'm left wondering why many current speakers can... | |
| building on a budget--looking for amp advice at your price range, choosing between nad/rotel/cambridge is sorta like choosing between camry/accord/altima--they're all very functional. personally, i've had trouble with nads, so i might look at cambridge 650/640 or the above-reccomnded rotel; ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? 1. loudon wainwright iii, album ii--alternatively sad and hysterically funny; best one guy with a guitar folkie album by someone not named dylan. as far as i know, never released on cd. "motel blues" (later covered by big star) is on this record.2... | |

| Newbie question: Amplifiers, Volume, Clipping? Almarg, while admittedly I flunked high school physics and can't always grasp your technical discourse, I always enjoy you're posts--they're unfailingly polite, patient, positive and informative. Thank you for being you. | |
| New Von Schweikert VR 33? generally speaking, i'm with onhwy61--uniformed/idiotic posts are usually best ignored. however, i think a quality manufacturer like vs deserves better than a dismissive putdown. all the vs stuff i've owned or heard is beautifully built and finish... |
