| New game with active speakers AFAIC, these days active speakers are almost always the way to go. My Swiss-built high-end professional PSI A21-M active studio monitors are entirely analog, no DSP jiggery-pokery, and they've completely extinguished my upgradeitis itch. They'd be... | |
| ls FM radio even listenable any more? @ yyzsantabarbara CFNY-FM out of Toronto kept me musically au courant all through the 80’s. Phenomenal station at the time, since trashed. I still have about four dozen 2-hour cassette tapes of the station that I made at the time. They’re still pl... | |
| Sexy singer(s) and/or song(s) Hands down and far and away the most *erotic* music I've ever heard was sung by Najma Akhtar from her album "Qareeb." Can't understand a single word; she's singing ghazals in Urdu. Ghazals are subtly erotic poems from South Asia & Arabia which... | |
| John Prine, singer, songwriter, legend - Dead at 73 from COVID-19 The Mt. Rushmore of topical singer-songwriters includes Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, and, of course, John Prine. John Prine is one whose work has profoundly influenced, indeed impacted, everyone, even those who never knew his name. | |
| to fb or not to fb... that is the ? A short story: Ten years ago or so, I thought it might be interesting to get an account on this new Facebook thing. So I went to sign up. First question was my name. OK, that's reasonable. Next question was my birth date. They DON'T need to know t... | |
| I have to downsize big time, any ideas on integrated amps and smaller 3 way speakers If you wish to keep things very stripped down and small, yet very high end, you may wish to consider a Mytek Manhattan/Brooklyn DAC/Pre. They’re top-of-the-line DACs which include a fine phono stage, and then pair them with active speakers. Myself... | |
| Saxaphone vs. Trumpet...Which do you prefer? OK, so how about we split the difference? I vote for the saxhorn. It’s a real thing, you know... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxhornhttps://youtu.be/Ed9P9w-Lt-w | |
| Digitizing Vinyl; Suggestions Please @1grabber2 OK, you’ve obviously got some exceptional LPs there. And certainly many historical recording have been trashed for several reasons, not only as a result of the "loudness war," in the remastering for CD. But transcribing and converting t... | |
| Digitizing Vinyl; Suggestions Please If you manage to sell the LPs, by far the best suggestion here is to then purchase CDs of the same music. First, as many others have noted, digitizing hundreds of LPs will take a ridiculous amount of time, effort, and, to do it at all well, money.... | |
| Gentleman, get yer credit cards ready... Nutz to all that! I'm sticking with my good old Lirpa TT. It's got real history... | |
| Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers @lonemountain Exactly! I often get the sense that some people in these parts are simply EQing their system by other means. The clarity and lack of distortion with top quality active speakers/studio monitors may well tell some people more than they... | |
| Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers Both lonemountain & theophile: Hear! Hear! Precisely. | |
| Thiel CS 2.2 Speakers... What you all think? @prof. "What are you even doing on a site like this?" Not much, actually. I get Audiogon's e-mails. I'll sometimes notice a topic of interest and will occasionally toss in my 2¢. Thiel 2 2s are of interest. Balanced AC and active monitors are others. | |
| Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers @gosta. Interesting. Those "trash can" stands may account for some "interesting" resonant bass interactions and effects. You may not need to spend the dime for Quested's stands, but something better should be a priority.I've no special insights in... | |
| Thiel CS 2.2 Speakers... What you all think? I've been running Thiel 2 2's (no decimal point...) for 25 years without the slightest urge to "upgrade." Whenever I hear other speakers that I think sound "really good," I come back to the Thiels and realize they they're as good or better.That sa... |
