| Best Nancy Wilson CDs You know, back to that NW and Cannonball Adderley album...I listened to that on a tiny 'suitcase' like record player which was by my bed, as a kid of 12. I'd put it on and listen, falling asleep (putting it on repeat) and wake up to turn it off in... | |
| Most agreed upon best speaker? Atmasphere,Just read about field coil technology. Everything old is new again.This makes incredible sense to me.Since loudspeakers are the greatest producers of distortion, essentially due to a lack of control over the moving mass--(over simplific... | |
| Linn LP-12 still competitive with the very best? Thanks Drubin,Sometimes, actually, most of the time, I wonder if I sound like some old geezer on a park bench, or worse yet Forrest Gump telling these stories. They're from my perspective to be sure, and I try to be complely faithful to the truth.... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Pjwd, Why not heed courtesy on this site and not be so antagonistic. Generally, the markets are flooded with used products which have sold this well--which doesn't portend dissatisfaction as much as the wonder lust of audiophiles.As to coloration,... | |
| Most agreed upon best speaker? Paul, have you heard the Sound Labs in a serious audition? | |
| Linn LP-12 still competitive with the very best? Yeah, but you should have seen the analog shi* hit the fan when I picked up SOTA a couple of years later.They could abide my carrying Rega and a couple of 'lower fish' along with the Linn, but wow, it wasn't pretty.Of course I'll never forget what... | |
| Most agreed upon best speaker? Ok Atmasphere, Most horn devotees snarl when we mere mortals speak of 'horn sound' or 'horn artifacts', as if that phenom doesn't exist. I'm not sure that I do either, but they definitely have their own 'flavor'. You say that these have the same i... | |
| Most agreed upon best speaker? Not me, I am too old and have a bad back. I could bite I suppose, but then I don't know where Paul has been! | |
| Most agreed upon best speaker? Good one Paul | |
| Linn LP-12 still competitive with the very best? Now that everyone's heated up,let's look at some more of the "Linn picture".Back in 1983, I opened an audio store. I wanted to carry the 'best'.I selected, from products of the era, what I thought to be among that 'best'. One product that I wanted... | |
| What components are manufactured in the U.S.A.? All of the speakers listed, have a VERY GOOD chance of having caps, coils, inductors and boards made by foreign suppliers. For that matter, the electronics parts also have that same good chance. Plus some if not many loudspeakers use international... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Markphd,Well, there can be a 'best' for a given moment in time, if not by acclimation, by performance. Though, to get this group to agree on that, or even on what day it is would be impossible.Anyone heard the DarTzeel? It's $20.5K including a pho... | |
| Narrowed speaker selection down to 5 choices The Apogee's are not electrostatic but I think I know where you're going. Actually, the Sound Labs that I owned were VERY dynamic--not bass thumping as in a subwoofer, but PLENTY realistic enough for my musical tastes. Plus I was using them in a r... | |
| Narrowed speaker selection down to 5 choices Any thought to used Sound Labs, or do you feel that your room is better suited for 'dynamics'? | |
| Best Integrated, period. Has anyone heard the new DarTzeel Integrated in any environment other than show conditions? |
