| Critical listening and altered states There is a special place for any music that can give me an adrenaline rush; but, there is a cherished (perhaps even sacred) place for any music that can give me goose bumps, regardless of whatever equipment that I was listening to at the time. How... | |
| Who will soon be going to a live concert? I saw King Crimson a few weeks ago. It was my first concert in 2 1/2 years. I'm glad it was an outdoor show that was only around 75% capacity. | |
| Are all amps being built wrong? When I was doing some research, I came across a comment in one of the Coda related Audiogon threads that states Coda makes the Sanders Magtech amp; but, Sanders than tweaks it for use on their ESL speakers. | |
| RMAF 2021 Cancelled I've been meaning to read the book "Predictably Irrational." Thanks for the reminder! | |

| Considering a POSSIBLE replacement for speakers. Opinions? There's a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 300's listed on Audiogon for $1,049 (which is a great price); however, it is for local pickup only. But, he is in Phoenix, which should be doable from your location in Dallas. Good luck on your quest! | |
| Speaker suggestions please - going to the BIG city The Music Room (TMRaudio.com) has a pair of Acoustic Zen Crescendos (MK II) for $8,999 + shipping ($499). They retail for $22K. Should be a good match for your cables; and, TMR has a "buy it, try it" policy; so, you're only on the hook for the shi... | |
| So done with audiophile fuses "Will you walk away from a fool and his money" is from the song "Come and Get It," which was written by Paul McCartney.....but, first recorded by the band Badfinger,. It was probably Badfinger's biggest hit, and the song was also produced by Paul ... | |
| Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship? Lots of great advice so far; but, here's some first hand experience to consider...Many years ago my house took a direct hit by lightning and it fried many things, including my Sim Audio amp. I took it to a local Sim Audio dealer who then sent it b... | |
| One Cord To Rule Them All + 1 on Cullen Cable. The only downside is their product rarely shows up on the used market and there is probably a 3+ week wait if you order something directly from them. I have no experience with Pangea products; but, a friend of mine who works i... | |
| Any good experience in discovering new music via TV or movie recently ? + 1 on American Utopia. I was also impressed by a recent feature that CBS Saturday Morning did on Michael Kiwanuka. | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? @crimsoniter, I've seen almost 500 concerts (am about a dozen short); but, "almost a thousand concerts," now that is impressive! |
