| Headphones for iPod. Do they need to be earbuds? If not, Grado SR60s are the obvious choice. | |
| A musical "heads up" to any and all... Well, I picked up the new album today and gave it a long listen- boy was I disappointed. They seem to be using their bluegrass roots as kitch and trying to break into the rock mainstream. The lyrics are more vicious than before and not nearly as i... | |
| A musical "heads up" to any and all... When I first started listening to Nickel Creek, it was a little too saccharin for me. As I've gotten to know their work, I have more and more respect for it. Fantastic stuff, can't wait to pick up the new one. | |
| Looking for a romantic sounding monitor Silverline SR15's are great, but I wouldn't call them romantic per se. Maybe a bit on the warm side, but nothing like a Sonus Faber. SR15s are indeed wonderful, in any case. | |
| another vinyl shipping question Rshak, thanks for the response. So we're just talking about the aesthetics of the case, not any 'smushing' action, as the amusicdirect people claim. Weird. | |
| Celebrities A/V systems - any interest? A book about the origins of band names would be a helluva lot more interesting to me than a book about celebrities' audio systems. | |
| 6 Moons Reviews Zu Cable Definition Speaker Tvad and opalchip: reviewers pay way less for everything, not just the Zus. They compare pieces of equipment in exactly the same way we do, simply with less money involved all around. Srajan as the opportunity to buy a helluva lot of speakers at d... | |
| Dead 83-yr old sued by recording industry Elizabeth, I agree with you in principle, but don't you think claiming that your personal buying habits compensate for an entire generation's obsession for downloading is a little ridiculous? | |
| Does a listening room help or hinder? I think Newbee's point is the most salient. You're obviously not enjoying listening to your music. Find something new that really graps you. | |
| Reducing room TEMP. when using tube equipment. A potential problem with portable air conditioners would be the noise. You might be throwing out the baby with the bathwater. | |
| Mini monitors? You might consider a high efficiency/SET combo. Little comes close at low volumes. How about the Omega speakers? Cheap and musical. | |
| Benjamin Britten Songs Or you could just get Peter Grimes! It's a great work, easily available and on the used vinyl market for no more than a dollar or two. I got to hear Simon Rattle conduct it live with the Berlin Phil in April! What an experience.Rushton: are the so... | |
| Rachmaninov for beginners I don't see Schnittke as the next place to go after Prokofiev. I love them both, but I wouldn't 'prepare' someone for Schnittke with Prokofiev. Are you drawing a specific musical connection between the two? | |
| Rachmaninov for beginners As others have stated, the 'twos' are great: piano concerto and symphony. Ashkenazy is indeed an excellent choice for the concerto. There are many, many excellent performances of this piece out there. If you like the Rach cello sonata, check out t... | |
| Looking for the king of mini monitors under $1500 Check out the Silverline SR15s. For the most part, fairly easy system matching. These are my favorite speakers in Silverline's range, they have more PRAT and detail than any of the other reasonably priced speakers they sell, and still have that fa... |
