| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... My understanding is the main parameter regarding the cabinets that affects the sound (degree of bass extension possible) is the size/volume.Along this line, I believe the newer cabinets tend to be taller to achieve a particular volume/level of ext... | |
| Pink Floyd Pink Floyd a modern Bach?Mahler would be a better analogy though still a very loose one perhaps.The Beatles are the only rock act that are a lock to retain a place long term musically up there with the classical and other masters. Pink Floyd might... | |
| SS amp for Merlin VSMs? I'd like to hear the Tube Audio Design 125 Hibachi 2 amps with Merlin VSMs, if I had a pair. | |
| Does long hair destroy the soundstage? I heard machina Dynamica will be coming up with a wig for audiophiles shortly. It will be one of their most brilliant innovations! The chicks will love it too! | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood A post on another audio site says it was a Teac X-2000r, which is a gorgeous device! | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood In Pulp Fiction, when John Travolta picks up Uma Thurman at Marcel's house, the entertainment is music sourced from a reel-to-reel tape player in plain site. Next time I watch this I'll try to figure out what the make and model was. | |
| New Album from The Cars "Move Like This" It's on my listen to list but haven't yet.The Cars do not get the level of respect they deserve. They really were a major factor in tilting the rock music landscape in a different direction back in the late 70's and into the 80's, at least in the ... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? Also I gotta mention that I thought Haley's duet with Tony Bennett was one of the high points of the grand finale for me. That came off extremely well, the older legendary crooner and the hot young bluesy siren interacting beautifully in perfect h... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? I think the show did a better job overall coaching the rookie contestants in a more consistent manner week to week that yielded better results in the end, ie a large group of talented rookie singers delivering at a pretty high and consistent level... | |
| Review: Tube Audio Design Hibachi Monoblocks TAD 125 Amplifier after some initial time listening to the tads i can say without doubt these amps can really sort through and deliver the music and represent a steal for their going price. everything i throw at them sounds very "musical". There is a natural ease t... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? "content that makes it difficult to watch for 20 and ups"Not so much for women or even men with wives and kids.I probably would not watch if not for them, but I enjoy watching it with them. Its one of the only shows we all sit down and watch toget... | |
| how close in sound can a tube and ss amp sound ? I think Unsound, Timlub and I are hitting on the same point that there are many difficult load speakers as Timlub describes that few if any tube amps can handle properly. The result is tonal imbalance and often weak bass regardless of volume/loudn... | |
| Pink Floyd No doubt Deadheads are a special breed! | |
| Why not horns? Back on the positive note regarding horns, I just picked up a pair of TAD 125 Hibachi 2 monoblocks that I am acclimating to in my 2 channel a/v system currently.I suspect these are probably the first amps I have owned that would seem to be overtly... | |
| Why not horns? I am not sensitive at all about negativity, except if delivered in a malicious manner. Its a fact of life that there is probably nothing that is immune from being disliked, even Scotty McCreary.Its a slippery slope to do anything that discourages ... |
