| Sexiest Pop Song Ever? Try "I Need Love" by LL Cool J. Seriously. Some years back, I saw Luka Bloom do an acoustic cover version in concert that - judging by the reaction of the women around me - must get him endless action.MartyPS - in a related vein,"Tonight I'm Gonna... | |
| Praise for DacMagic I currently own both a Benchmark DAC 1 and a DacMagic. I use both in my main system. They're both very good (and the DacMagic is a very good value, to boot), but they sound quite different from each other.The Benchmark is noticeably leaner soundin... | |
| QSonix First Experience Jim,Sorry I missed your post and didn't respond in a timely fashion. To clarify, my rips are lossless WMA - this is the QSonix default lossless file format. QSonix didn't do FLAC, so I also maintain a "shadow" compressed library for my Sonos distr... | |
| QSonix First Experience Aging,I haven't downloaded any HD material yet - so no comment from me on that one.There were several reasons I chose QSonix over Sooloos. They were, in order of importance to me:1) TAS preferred the interface in their review. This is, IMHO, the k... | |
| Recommendation for Louis Hayes cds? Siliab,Thanks for the heads up on "Blowin the Blues Away". I'll chase it down ASAP.Marty | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? still you angle for your optionsYou argue for your caseYou wouldn't know a burning bushIf it blew up In your faceJohn hiatt | |
| Good stores in LA Bongo,Maybe a little harsh, but overall, nicely put.44,You might want to see if anyone's playing at McCabe's Guitar Shop (on Pico in Santa Monica) the evening you're here. A great, intimate space for inetersting performers. You can walk to Valenti... | |
| SET vs OTL Paul & Larry,Thanks for the input.MartyPS Paul, I have a different view of crossing subwoofers, but I'm really interested in trying a 45 SET full range, anyway. I'll explore the Audionote further. | |
| SET vs OTL Paul,I understand that SPLs will be limited when using a 45 SET amp full range. I am willing to restrict my use of such a system accordingly. I am, however, intrigued by the idea of an SET that can deliver the mid-range I have come to expect of su... | |
| The old timers give the young'ns tips on the 60s. One other significant record that reflects the style of the era is the 1972 double album "Something/Anything" by Todd Rundgren. | |
| SET vs OTL John,Glad to provide a laugh.Your last comment is interesting in that I had posted earlier looking for info on loudspeakers that provide:A) Appropriate sensitivity and load for a 45 SET ampandB) Sufficiently flat and extended bass response to even... | |
| SET vs OTL Robert,I fear you may have misread my sarcastic comment which was nominally directed to Johnk. Perhaps with a little more experience you will understand....my post.Marty | |
| SET vs OTL Atma, thanks for the recommendation.Pubul, thanks for your insight on the VSM/M60.Johnk, please keep your naive, baseless (or is that "bass-less") ramblings to yourself - they take up valuable space that could be better used to accomodate the abso... | |
| SET vs OTL Atma,Couldn't have said it any better. I guess I found those early iterations of both the S-30 and the VSM SE slightly less "forgiving" than I'd prefer. Not "ruthless", or even "unkind", but maybe a touch "strict"?MartyPS I think my S-30 was one o... | |
| SET vs OTL Atma,I know what you mean. I also wonder if the steep impedence spike of the VSMs (@ app 1Khz) is audible via SET and contributes to the sense of dynamics from the SET/VSM combo. Nevertheless, the cumulative effect of pairing this speaker with the... |
