| Cover songs that are better than the originals. +1 on Hendrix's cover of Along The Watchtower -- according to Bob Dylan, the gold standard of his song. In fact, +1 on all of the songs that Jimi covered, such as Wild Thing, Johnny B. Goode and Like A Rollin' Stone! | |
| Any Audiophiles Here Have Experience with Hearing Aids? @skywachr, really? I thought that the vertigo was the defining symptom of Meniere's, along with telltale low frequency hearing loss and tinnitus. I wonder if you may have something else (hopefully). Without the vertigo attacks, I would just forg... | |
| Any Audiophiles Here Have Experience with Hearing Aids? @skywachr, the tinnitus is always there, but sometimes I just don't notice it. It's the vertigo attacks that are the real problem. First, I feel lightheaded -- slightly dizzy. Then, my eyes start flicking back and forth (nystagmus), then I can'... | |
| Any Audiophiles Here Have Experience with Hearing Aids? I made the rookie error in thinking that I was the first person to post about this problem. There are indeed several threads that discuss the problems/benefits of certain hearing aids. High end Opticon seems to be the type of choice. I'll be in... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money Although I have not heard cables that are $10,000, nor do I probably have a system or ears that could really hear the difference, my general experience in moving up the expensive ladder of audio gear is that most times, one is chasing a 10-15% dif... | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? @joeeuro, I don't mind the new format . . . I think it takes a little getting used to, but I sort of like the pictures with each product. Why don't you like it? | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? @glupson, my Siamse cat that I had for 19 years through college and many years after was named Moto or motoman. Now that cat liked HEA! He'd sit on my lap whenever I put the stereo on and never messed with it. I also am into motorcycles -- I rid... | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? @glupson, I take it all in stride. Lead a horse to water but can't make him drink. My stepson seemingly appreciates my HT setup, and definitely loved to hear some of my favorites, like Jimi Hendrix' Electric Ladyland, on my music system, so I re... | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? This thread made me reflect on the generation gap. When I was in high school and college in the 1970's, music and audio was the focal point of a lot of social interaction. My friends and I spent countless hours listening to the latest albums by L... | |
| DSOTM on Vinyl DSOTM has been a "go to" test album since I listened to my first stereo system in 1974, so I have always been a little OCD about which version is "the best" I have the following on vinyl: original USA release and the original MoFi 1979 release (e... | |
| Which DAC as a preamp? You don't say what your price range is, but I got a MSB Analog DAC with volume control and eliminated my preamp and the MSB is excellent. | |
| Which Subwoofer would you choose? In your price range, you may be able to find a REL Strata . . . They are excellent and great for a music system. I have one and am extremely pleased with how it works in my 2 channel system! | |
| Anthony Bourdain dead at 61 Hit me hard this morning too. His show is one of our regularly watched shows. They are timeless and entertaining. We actually visited places that Anthony had been to after seeing his show.Despite the outward appearances, he must have had some s... | |
| Anthony Bourdain dead at 61 I hung out with Anthony a few years ago when he came to Miami Beach. A truly nice guy, down to earth and humble. To have everything, yet not enough . . . RIP Anthony. | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? If I don't see you no more in this world, I'll see you in the next one, so don't be late! Jimi Hendrix, Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) |
