| Selling my dads top of the line system @Traveldonkey; based on your 7/26 post that you are "keeping some of the other pieces" of your Dad's system, it sounds to me like you've figured out a way to make this a "win - win" situation for you. I was wondering if your Dad had an Audiogon ac... | |
| Selling my dads top of the line system First off, I'm sorry for your loss. I can assure you that whoever buys your Dad's equipment will appreciate something that good. I'm sure you have a lot of your plate right now, so if you are pressed for time The Music Room (TMR Audio) might be yo... | |
| Tribute bands or bands/artists making a comeback..any favorites out there?? @moofoo; no I have not heard the new Alan Parsons LP. I've checked every music website that I know of, and no one has any song samples to listen to. That is both rare and strange; and, perhaps a bad omen. He played two songs from the new LP at the... | |
| Tribute bands or bands/artists making a comeback..any favorites out there?? I saw the Alan Parsons Project earlier this year on a whim, because the ticket prices were less than half of what that venue normally charges. Turns out they were really good. I wish more venues would do that. | |
| Tribute bands or bands/artists making a comeback..any favorites out there?? I've been impressed by YouTube videos of The Musical Box, Britt Floyd and Live on Mars (Bowie). I have multiple friends who have seen all three of them (and whose opinions I trust) and rave about how good they are.I'll vouch for The Zombies. Have ... | |
| anyone have experience with "replacement cost" insurance, and Allstate? You've received a lot of good advice so far from insurance industry professionals. I had a lightning claim myself many years ago that damaged (repairable) a few of my audio components, plus a laptop, printer, microwave oven, alarm system, etc. So,... | |
| How many of us are truly satisfied with their systems? It is not easy to exhibit financial restraint when it comes to our hobbies or passions (in our case, music & audio). However, retirement or impending retirement will certainly force one to do so. If you are in that boat, I hope that after 40 -... | |
| Used vs New vs Vintage vs Floorstanding vs Bookshelf vs ..... OMG! Ty; if you are going to buy used equipment:THE MUSIC ROOM: Pro's: They are the only used outlet that I know of that you will give you a trial period where you can listen to what you bought and then return it if yo... | |
| Used vs New vs Vintage vs Floorstanding vs Bookshelf vs ..... OMG! Tykozen:If you like watching movies or concert DVD's thru your audio system, then finding a multi - format player is a good idea. But, in doing so you'll probably need to add a stand alone DAC in order to get a higher level of sound quality. Compa... | |
| Used vs New vs Vintage vs Floorstanding vs Bookshelf vs ..... OMG! Based on my recent speaker shopping experience, some of the older speakers that you are likely to encounter probably are outdated.I tend to replace my speakers every 10 years. My last speakers were DALI Helicon 400's. They initially retailed for $... | |
| Music lover or audiophile? The definition of an audiophile is: "A person who is especially interested in high-fidelity sound reproduction."Is that a bad thing? I think not. I agree with many of the posters who see no issue with being a music lover and an audiophile; and, th... | |
| Newbie looking for speakers + 1 on what audionoobie said (good advice).My suggestion is to build your system in "stages," so that you can buy the best of what you like and can afford at that particular time period. Doing things this way will satisfy your itch to upgrade your... | |
| Best 80s New Wave Here's a few more 70's - 90's bands of note.Rhythm Corps: A Detroit band who only released 2 albums and a local EP. They were originally called Rhythm Method; but, they lost a legal challenge for that name (which is a shame because if that is not ... | |
| Best 80s New Wave @jplunkettj Your two compilation recommendations look good. I recommend the "POPTOPIA: Power Pop Classics of the 70's - 80's & 90's (3 single discs put out by Rhino Records). Excellent songs, booklet and packaging on all three. | |
| Best 80s New Wave @yyzsantabarbara I had the first 3 Pursuit of Happiness records, and I thought their debut ("Love Junk") was by far their best effort. My favorite cuts from that were: "She's So Young," "Tree of Knowledge" and "Ten Fingers." |
