| How to improve Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill?" @teo_audio - thank you! You absolutely nailed the landing! You captured the reasons why the Meg version misses out and how cleverly crafted and Kate Bush's original is. thanks for posting the link to the Extended HQ mix. I re-listened to my CD and... | |
| Where in the US to send my Linn Sondek LP12. Thanks for the clarification Tom. This is kind of exciting for me to get back into vinyl. I want to mount my old Sound Organisation turntable stand to my plaster living room wall but right now I cannot locate the wall studs in my 1959 plaster and ... | |
| Thiel Owners I’m also chasing the last 10% with my Thiel CS3.6’S which sit on Sound Anchors stands (about 1”) off the floor. I’m using 1 spike in the front and 2 spikes in the rear for each stand. Right now, the speakers are sitting g on top of the stands with... | |
| Bryston BDA-3.14? I have the BDA-1 in my system and run my Sony XA-5400ES CD player through the digital coax into it. I’m also running an old iPhone 4 with iTunes into a Wadia 171i, then into the BDA-1.I’m curious to know what the reviews on the BDA-3.14 will say.... | |
| Brighteyes or Conor Oberst recordings that are the least garage band-y Thanks @larryi My CD’s are randomly organized, haha... I need to collate all my Bright Eyes CD’s in a stack and evaluate which ones I have. But I know there are no Bright Eyes vinyl LP’s here, yet. When I talked about bad recordings sounding small... | |
| Brighteyes or Conor Oberst recordings that are the least garage band-y Hey @reubent - masi61 is the same name I use at bikeforums.net, my other favorite forum. And yes, I have a 61 cm Masi Gran Criterium from 1978. My first ever road bike. It is black with yellow detailing, a lovely bike that I don’t ride much anymor... | |
| why the limited number of Stereophile recommended components in the A and B class ? Thank you @simao for the link. I have read this review of the 7Bsst2. It is 10 years old and essentially a negative review of their amps. I would think Bryston themselves could send a set of the 7Bsst3 mono amps themselves to Stereophile for a fre... | |
| Where in the US to send my Linn Sondek LP12. Just an update: I have been visiting the Linn turntable forum where ThomasOK posts frequently. This has been really a good resource and I am saving my $$$ for the LIngo 4 power supply and I hope to get a deal where I can get that and the Karousel ... | |
| Do power conditioners “burn-in” & thus improve with age? I don't have any routers, streamers or wifi on my power conditioner. I did get my speakers positioned better in my room. I had my Bryston amp on a cheap glass shelf tv stand and it got shifted to the floor. It was sitting directly on the carpet bu... | |
| Surge protector vs wall debate for amps @mike_in_nc …. you beat me to it. I have a Bryston 4Bsst2 with the Bryston BIT-15 and the combination seems to work well. As far as I know Torus manufactures power conditioners for Bryston. Bryton just individualizes the product by using their own... | |
| Where in the US to send my Linn Sondek LP12. What a great bunch of responses folks. I was out of the loop of this corner of the audiophile hobby for 2 decades. I spoke with ThomasOK and had a very nice conversation with him. I got a price quote on the Lingo 4, and got some info on the replac... | |
| I'm interested in hearing what "the best" systems sound like, where to go? You don’t say where you live. In my area (Dayton, OH) there are still audiophile 2 channel brick and mortar dealers where company reps will have shows occasionally and permit critical listening to some fantastic medium expensive and ridiculous, ou... | |
| Where in the US to send my Linn Sondek LP12. I mainly am interested in playing 45’s. I know that here are aftermarket kits that a British audio store sells but I could probably swing for the Linn Lingo 4 that I have only a little bit of information on. I’ll be calling the Ann Arbor Linn deal... | |
| Isolation Cones vs Cheap Cables I just check some of my old CD’s from artists that I really like that didn’t quite hit a home run sonically but where the songs themselves have great merit. I’m a huge Cure fan and a more recent album of their’s - “4:13 Dream” is fatiguing to me d... | |
| Isolation Cones vs Cheap Cables Optimizing your 2 channel home audio is a worthy and necessary thing to do. It takes some inspiration to set out to improve your sonic performance for the better. The audio hobby rarely offers instantaneous fantastic clarity/power/detail/authority... |
