| Most overlooked LPs in the last 20 years Slaw, no need for an apology. You started the thread with a specific perspective. It brought something else to mind for me and some others. No big deal and all pretty mild in terms of internet forum discussions. My LP copy of Toots & The Mayta... | |
| paranoid listener, bad recordings Are you playing CD or LP as source material?If LP, the record may be damaged from either prior use, dirt or it may even be a defective pressing. Tone arm and cartridge setup can be an issue and so on. There are a lot of things to check. CDs can al... | |
| Compressed vs. "Remastered" CDs Klipschking wrote:Any way to avoid the "loudness" without buying first??There are a couple of possibilities. One is to go by label. For example. In the rock & jazz world, Rhino is overall quite meticulous about sound quality and almost always ... | |
| Compressed vs. "Remastered" CDs "Remastering" is a catch-all term that covers a wide range of possibilities. For some recordings, it may mean the original multi-track recording was re-mixed. Each individual track may have its own EQ and other effects applied uniquely to that tra... | |
| Powered sub suggestions to mate /w Harbeth P3ESRs REL subwoofers have a reputation as a good match with Spendor and Harbeth speakers. Looks like there are a couple of units in your price range listed in the Audiogon classifieds. | |
| Most overlooked LPs in the last 20 years Slaw, you seem to have taken a difference of opinion on a subject and turned it into a personal affront. That's not what was intended. When someone talks about "overlooked" music albums, I tend to think of material that is bit further off the beat... | |
| Most overlooked LPs in the last 20 years Whoa, slow down! There's no need to overreact to a good natured poke. However, look at your own thread title - it says "Most Overlooked LPs..." I like the Pretenders and Chrissie Hynde just as much as most other people, but never considered them p... | |
| Most overlooked LPs in the last 20 years The Pretenders?Hmmm, I thought you were looking for something unusual, like Rockhouse Annie and the M&M Girls "Live At The First Street Alley" or Toots & The Maytals "Reggae Got Soul". ;-) | |
| Audio Research VSI 60 Input transformer noise Input transformer? Do you mean the AC power transformer? (The one in the middle.) If so, I think its a bit unusual for a modern amp to have a noisy power transformer. I assume by noise you mean a mechanical humming or buzzing. I would not take tha... | |
| logitech transporter vs. Squeezebox+PS Audio DLIII Does anyone heard the LAvry D10 and the stage IV DLIII on the same system?While it isn't real hard to find people who have heard one or the other, it can be difficult at times to find a person who has heard two specific units back-to-back in the s... | |
| logitech transporter vs. Squeezebox+PS Audio DLIII I would get the Touch ($590)Not sure where you got your price. My understanding the official price is $299. | |
| logitech transporter vs. Squeezebox+PS Audio DLIII I have the SB3 and a Lavry DA-10 DAC which I settled on a couple of years back. I also auditioned a Transporter at that time. The choice of the SB3/Lavry was mainly cost driven; it was about $1,000 cheaper since I already had the SB3. However, the... | |
| Looking for a good Stevie Wonder CD Why don't you just get a vinyl version and copy it yourself to CD format? I find that CDs produced this way sound very much like the original LPs (and it even gives you the chance to get rid of some of the clicks and pops.) For me, much of the dif... | |
| Length of speaker cable effect bass response? Did the speakers get moved during the redecorating? If so, the new location for the speakers is probably far more responsible for any change in bass response than the wire length. This assumes the wire is an appropriate gauge for the speakers and ... | |
| Tube matching: 30 hours vs 0 30 hours is only 1% to 2% of the expected useful life of a typical output power tube. Tube parameters usually are very stable through the life of a tube, which is where the cathode emissions are greater than about 70% of the original value.Given t... |
