| Solidsteel racks any good Well I've decided to go with the H-6. I'm convinced enough that these will have some sonic advantages in comparision to the offerings fro BDI or Salamander. The Billy Bags I want is 2X the price, but would take up a lot more space, and wouldn't in... | |
| A trick with Scotch Whisky Edesliva,I think I had the very springbank you mentioned, and my dear god was it good. I recently was given a bottle of the spring bank bourbon finish, but I'm not much on cask finishes myself. I have to say that I was impressed with the cask stre... | |
| A trick with Scotch Whisky I'm a BIG fan of several types of whiskey, and while I agree that putting liquid smoke into scotch whiskey to give it a peteier taste is odd, I've heard crazier things. I consider myself somewhat knowledgable, and have taken vacations based around... | |
| Help requested from Tom Harrell fans Hopefully that jolly b-stard remembers me this year, because last year I got "The Art of Coal" by S. Claus.I'm thinking an avid acutus would do the trick...c'mon..get those elves workin! | |
| Help me pick an amp for under $5,000 Stew: you are correct, however, if you go to the store they actually have little Rowland in stock, compared to the other brands they push (Mc, Meridian, etc.).So no votes for the Bat VK-250. Any VK-250 owners care to chime in? I mean, I'll be usin... | |
| A trick with Scotch Whisky I've been making a drink recently that's a modified version of an Old Fashioned, but instead of Bourbon you use a nice strong Islay (a single malt from Islay, for the uninitiated) and some fresh rosemary. I've named it: Old Smokey. I find the Oran... | |
| Moon I-3 and Totem Forest? Ah, I didn't realize you were still breaking in your Forests as well. You don't need to play them at excessive levels to break them in, but you will need something above a whisper. I don't know if this is an option, but you can leave them playing ... | |
| Solidsteel racks any good Sgr and Rello: thanks for the info. I think they're the way I'll go. It seems there's not really anyone who makes a 60" three shelf rack that's got good isolation for a reason. Well, billy bags does custom stuff, but I think the cost would be proh... | |
| Help me pick an amp for under $5,000 So here's a long list of replies.Ejlif: I'm very interested in the JC-1s, but can't find a store in NYC that sells them, nor one that would let me demo them in my system. I know you can order through AudioAdvisor and then return, but I want to dem... | |
| What is the best sounding HDCD? My first HDCD, and still one of my favs is Beck's "Sea Change." In some ways I prefer it to the SACD. | |
| Most significant WAF Audio Sacrifice you made.... Boa2: I don't know what to do with this woman!I'll tell you what to do: renew your vows.Well as a single young guy, I've decided to get my system perfect first, and add the tweak of a wife later. I make it pretty well known to anyone I date how mu... | |
| Help requested from Tom Harrell fans I agree with Herman's post, but think it would still be worthwhile to check out Tom's other records. I'd start with "The Art of Rhythm", which is pretty stellar. Go to allmusic.com and search by artist to get his discography, with pretty competent... | |
| What Is Best Speaker for $8000 - $10,000, used ? I would see if you can find a pair of Fidelio Parsifal Ovations. You can reverse the lower cabinet so that they're front or rear firing depending on your distance from wall (and personal preference). They may be small in footprint, but in terms of... | |
| Moon I-3 and Totem Forest? Sorry, let me clarify: to break it in you'd want ot keep it playing so that a whisper of sound is coming out of your speakers. From what I understand the sound level isn't an issue, but it can't be on mute. (I wrote the other post in a rush, so it... | |
| Moon I-3 and Totem Forest? If you can just leave it running 24/7. You don't need to have the sound coming out of your totems, just so long as there's a signal coming in, that should do the trick |
