| Does your pet listen to your system? My new puppy - Zeppelin at 12 weeks just cocks his head and tries to figure out "where the other people are". My last dog would sing to Chet Baker, but only Chet Baker. Coulda been the heroin addiction, not sure. | |
| Poor Fritz I've only heard Fritz's speakers at Capital Audio Fest but they were a top 3 standout that the $1m Vac/Von Scweikert didn't best... | |
| RIP Eddie Van Halen. What was your first stereo you rocked to VH on? Man, I'm bummed out by this. Although he's not one of my favorite guitarists he still has to be in the top 10. Eddie expanded the guitar lexicon in his era just as Hendrix did in his. In '78 I was 3yrs old so was at the mercy of the parents car ra... | |
| Wild Fires, Air Purifiers and Sound Systems Just this week I installed an Air Scrubber into the house-wide HVAC, as such it's no louder than the HVAC itself. I'm not sure it will completely fit your needs, as I bought it for a new puppy who turns out I'm allergic to, but worth checking out. | |
| Good entry level cables If it needs to be in-wall, check out Kimber Kable. | |
| What do/did you do for a living? Knead WineMiddleburg,VAone hour west of DC | |
| What do/did you do for a living? I’m a Master Sommelier who’s worked in restaurants and wineries since I was 14. I’m blessed to be one of the lucky few to be opening my own place next week instead of closing them. Due to COVID there will be no “things going back to normal” for th... | |
| Your vote for greatest (covers) album A full on cover album is hard to come by. Early Stones and Zeppelin covered (or "borrowed") extensively. Jeff Buckley has the single greatest cover of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah.Current favorite/fun covers are from Lake Street Dive. A better quest... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Why not start with a demo from a company that makes BOTH great tube and SS and form an opinion from there before branching out to other producers. The name has come up several times in this thread - Luxman, although Conrad Johnson comes to mind an... | |
| What was your most disappointing album purchase? Completely agree about Ummagumma.Completely disagree about Pearl Jam "10" and Tool. | |
| Best debut album Hard to argue with Zeppelin and Hendrix. Also not yet mentioned, I'd add Jeff Buckley. | |
| Fritz Carrera BE review link! I heard the Fritz Carrera BE's at Capital Audio Fest last year. I must say they are the most impressive stand mounted speakers I've heard for my tastes. Also kenjit, oh never mind I will never comment on your drivel. Hopefully others will follow s... | |
| Most amusing album or song titles "Put the "O" back in Country" - Shooter Jennings | |
| Love it when it snows Wow did this thread get derailed (even after an admin peepee slap).In any event @jond it's currently snowing on the mountain 1 hr west of DC, hope we're still on to spin some tunes tomorrow. The good news is if millercarbon's next coming of the Ca... | |
| Considering simplifying my system... talk me down (or whatever) If you're happy don't break up the band.That said there's some truly amazing integrateds out there at all price points from Nad to Hegel to T&A to Soulution. Since you already have an Audio Research Amp maybe their new VSi75, although I don't ... |
