| What's your favorite lyric from a song? "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans"- "Beautiful Boy" by John Lennon | |
| My NAD reciever has no sound , Any suggestions If it powers up but no sound and all settings are correct most likely internal fuses have blown.Also try unplugging it for 30 seconds and then plugging back in and trying again. Sometimes computer controls in modern gadgets get into an abnormal st... | |
| What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009? The main difference between speakers back then and now is that well built speakers that are large and solid enough to deliver full or near full range sound clearly with muscle behind it in larger rooms in particular will cost a lot more new these ... | |
| Good Country recordings Johnny Cash "The Legend" 4 disk box set has fantastic sound quality throughout. It covers all but his American Records years pretty well. The song selection and packaging is excellent to boot. I think anybody who has taken a liking to any of Cash'... | |
| Beatles Love, should I run? I think Love is the only Beatles album I have not heard yet.Its on my list of things to listen to someday but I just have not gotten too excited about to-date.I generally do not care for over the top Vegas shows, but I suppose if I had to shell ou... | |
| What's best amp for around $2000.00? I don't know but the Musical Fidelity A3CR I have used in my system the last year or so continues to satisfy. It cost me only $600 used on ebay and was a steal. | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 5 Series 3 Speaker Spike,Wow, thanks for the compliments, but I can take credit for the photo only I suppose.They are standard issue refurbs I acquired direct from OHM. TTBOMK, they are original F cabinets with OHms standard improvements and tweaks to match the new ... | |
| Do you ever wonder? There is/was (may have gone under) a Radio Dead IO internet radio station that I tried a few times recently with my Roku Soundbridge's Internet radio source option thinking I will get to hear a lot of Dead stuff that I've never heard before and fi... | |
| What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009? "Cant believe the Accapela room has not been mentioned. .... And, you can own this system for about $300K!"I think you answered your own question.For $300,000, I would expect an out-of-body, dreamlike experience, every time. Reality just doesn't ... | |
| Do you ever wonder? I'd toss "Mars Hotel" and at least side 2 off "Terrapin Station", the full side "Terrapin Station" suite, which is fabulous. | |
| Dylan live now Saw Dylan live last about 5 years back at the new arena in Philly. Not sure exactly who was in his band then, but that is one band that I could have sat and listened to jamming all day. They were like a machine once they got into gear on a riff. S... | |
| Do you ever wonder? Though I like a lot of their stuff over the years, way more often than not (given the quantity of material available these days), I do not get The Grateful Dead when others seemingly do. A lot of the live stuff released in recent years just seems ... | |
| Fatigue reducing interconnect? I have found DNM Reson ICs have the attributes you are looking for at very modest cost. | |
| What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009? Spl,Were the speakers in the Blue Circle room their own Pennys?If so the Walsh driver used would surely help account for a wide, deep soundstage more so than the amplification perhaps, but again one can only assess the system as a whole. Its hard ... | |
| What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009? Jaybo, OHM E's (vintage entry model OHM box speakers, $200/pair 30 years ago) might be an interesting dirt cheap choice with a SET tube amp perhaps, at low to moderate SPLs, in the right room if low end extension is not a concern. I've never heard... |
