Integrated amp for Legacy Focus speakers It seems to me that the biggest challenge that you're facing will be finding an integrated amp with enough inputs and a built-in DAC. I've seen multiple I/A's that I almost recommended, except they had a built - in phono stage, rather than a DAC. ... | |
Integrated amp for Legacy Focus speakers Lots of good suggestions so far. I recently helped a friend get back in the game and he went with a Vincent SV - 237 (hybrid: SS amp with tube preamp), because of his budget limitations. The BAT hybrids were out of his price range; but, BAT has ye... | |
IsoAcoustics GAIA The Gais's are one of the most expensive tweaks that I've tried. After installing them I had instant regrets; and, not because they were bad. My results were so good, that my regret was not trusting my instincts and trying them sooner. Of course,... | |
Looking for a new Subwoofer @mike4597 You didn't mention if you liked your Definitive Technology sub. If so, it would make sense to look at the GoldenEar SuperSub XXL ($2750) or two of the SuperSub X's ($1750 EA). I'm also in the market for a new sub. I've only owned Vel... | |
What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find? @ozzy , check out the website for Culture Factory Records. Around 10 years ago they released remastered CD's of the first 4 Rod Stewart solo albums. I have all 4 of them and they sound very good (96 Kz - 24 bit). An extra bonus is that they use a ... | |
What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find? @garebear , a friend of mine confirms that there is a studio ("demo") version of George Harrison performing "It Don't Come Easy." He also confirmed that it was never commercially released; so, finding it on a bootleg (which is what he has) looks l... | |
What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find? @rockysantoro , There a couple of best of John Stewart cd's on Amazon. One is called "Gold" and the other is called "Turning Music Into Gold." Both appear to have most of the songs from "Bombs Away Dream Babies," which was a very good album. | |
What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find? @bbarten Original Capricorn releases on CD from the late 70's tend to be hard to find. However, there's a label in the UK called BGO Records ("Beat Goes On") that have released remastered CD versions of a few albums by former Capricorn artists lik... | |
What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find? @whiteknee , I read Jerry Shirley's autobiography called "Best Seat in the House." It is one of the better rock biographies or autobiographies that I've read. Plus, major style points for the title! | |
What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find? @garebear, I think I remember hearing (and liking) George's version of "It Don't Come Easy;" but, I don't remember how or where I heard it. Both the Smithereens ("Attack of the Smithereens" or "Covers:) and Bettye LaVette ("Interpretations - The ... | |
What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find? @judsauce I found "Hot Smoke & Sassafras" on a compilation CD called "The Psychedelic Sixties," which is on the FUEL label. There are currently used & new copies of it on Amazon now at reasonable prices.. | |
What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find? @thecarpathian I heard it a couple of times on WKLS (96 Rock) in Atlanta back in the 70's. I didn't hear it again until around 15 years ago, when I heard it on KGSR in Austin. So, I'm beginning to think that it was some kind of limited promotional... | |
What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find? I'm looking for a cover version of "Chest Fever," which was written by and originally performed by The Band. Currently, the best known cover versions of that song were done by Three Dog Night and Widespread Panic. | |
I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? The OP needs help making a decision; but, he'd be a fool to reveal the speaker that he's considering because someone more decisive could swoop in and buy the one that is currently on the used market. So, a tough mess to untangle. @emergingsoul... | |
