| Can anyone recommend an FM Receiver that would play into a relatively high end system? A great value is indeed some of the better Sansui FM tuners. If you are on a budget I agree to seek out one of those. Note: I sold many of them in my early retail days. Really nice sounding, never a problem, should be a solid vintage tuner for ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Coincidentally, just this past Monday I placed on backorder the Allman Bros Live at the Fillmore East. This one is the Mercury, QRP pressing, 200 gram, 4-record set. I have never had this album in my collection so I figured the best choice would... | |
| turntable recommendations @stantheman2 About 6 months ago I bought a Raga Planar 10 with Lyra Delos. I also bought a better phono stage than what I had and chose the Manley Chinook. This combination is fantastic! I am amazed with the sound quality and mesmerizing effe... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Blind Faith The super-group that made just one album. I have the original, with the 12 year old girl, nude top half of her body, on the front cover. It's a classic cover. Not the best recording quality, but the music is excellent.The Motels ... | |
| If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living? @arro222 now that is a great story. Your "15 minutes" is a life-long keeper. I hope you enjoy that memory for many years to come.And just for fun sake, 222 is my lucky number. It was my dorm room number at college, too. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Slaw, how is the SQ of that Mo-Fi 45 RPM Cheap Thrills album? Is it worth the cost and record flipping, or is it really no better than the reissue from Simply Vinyl? The original recording wasn't spectacular but maybe Mo-Fi did a great job on th... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? You guys retired for the evening rather early. I watched a movie (Edge of Tomorrow; Live, Die, Repeat. A great sci-fi thriller) and then played a few albums until about 1:15 AM. I got the new Dynaudio Contour 60i speakers on Thursday. Played t... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @nicks25 best to you and an excellent rehab outcome. You will get out of it (the rehab) by what you put into it. Be diligent and follow the direction of your physical therapist. You can get back to 100% if you do so. I have had my unfair share... | |
| If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living? I was fortunate enough to have seen most of the Classic Rock groups listed in this thread. And many of them multiple times. I won't even begin to make a list. However, these are 6 notable ones I will mention.Janis JoplinJefferson AirplaneJethro... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? To answer the question, I ordered the Dynaudio Contour 60i in Piano Gloss Black. Though I wanted the Gray Oak High Gloss, that would have clashed with the Zebra Wood I have in my listening room. High Gloss Black works well with other appointment... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Been out of it for a while, other stuff going on.Yesterday I found time to play something I have not listened to in many years. Chicago, first album, 'CTA'. I had an original in high school that got trashed on my parents Magnavox console. A yea... | |
| Manufacturers And also Manley Labs. I bought a Manley Chinook (phono stage) and it had a catastrophic failure in one channel, within a month. I got a new replacement unit from the dealer, approved by Manley Labs. After about 2 weeks the owner, EveAnna Manley... | |
| Manufacturers I have had the same high quality experience with Balanced Audio Technology (BAT). One of the owners (Steve), and even the primary design engineer (Viktor) have spent time with me on the phone. Excellent advice, tremendous help, very personable, ... | |
| Manufacturers I don't care how small of a company you are. Too many opportunities were given this speaker company for all of them to be ignored. Once or even twice would likely have a good explanation. But from what the OP described that speaker company is s... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Well, my mistake after all. The Bob Dylan album is a brand new copy and it was a gift back in early 70s. However, it is not from the first press as I had thought. It's a 1975 press, and is from Columbia Records. It's very quiet vinyl and the r... |
