On-Line Concerts for the Virus Age
YouTube is incredible, with the information, and, the music, that is available. I enjoy the early Pink Floyd performances, particularly " Echoes ", Pompeii, parts 1 and 2, which, if you are a fan, is great. I am also enjoying, besides SO MUCH musi... 
what's your opinion on the magazine 'stereo review'??
Read all of the magazines, and enjoyed them all, for different and various reasons. I liked the Rodriguez cartoons. 
JBL everest?
Klipsch KPT Cinema Grandeur with KPT 1802 
Dumb break in question...
My master bedroom and listening room, are at opposite ends of the house, so besides keeping my gear on 24 / 7, I leave my FM tuner playing through the system, 24 / 7, as I find the system sounds better and more consistent this way, for when I am r... 
Modern Fusion - worth a Listen - Aaron Parks
So much great music stated above. I, too, am not sure how far we are going back, but Weather Report's " Heavy Weather ", played a significant role, with my intense lust for Jazz / Fusion. I was in the audio business when it was released, and it wa... 
Power Amplifiers
Sold 75 % of my amp collection within the last 3 years, but still have a dozen or so lying around, all being occasionally rotated in and out, most of them tweaked up a bit. ADA, Soundcraftsmen, Hafler, GAS, Yamaha Pro, Citation, Adcom, Nuforce ( S... 
Bose 901
As I mentioned in my 1st post, I am very familiar with the set up of the 901s, as I was professionally tutored by a Bose staff member, of the delicacies and details of proper set up, and, the importance of a high quality, high output power amplifi... 
Bose 901
richopp, if you do not understand plugging a speaker into an electrical outlet, instead of an output stage of an amplifier ( using an ac plug, instead of spades or banana plugs at the amp end ), I do not know what to tell you. Comparing an old tra... 
Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000
Stereo5, I made the comment, based on another poster's description, which I repeated above, and questioned. She deleted her post, because I called her out on it. I do not feel I bashed McIntosh, in this particular instance, and you, are not asking... 
Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000
I need to ask a question. Since when, does Mcintosh have lightning fast dynamics, and a high damping factor ? None that I have heard, and I sold, and installed them, for years. My buddy has a 452, and I would not describe it that way at all. It is... 
Bose 901
2 points......try plugging your speakers into an electrical outlet, and see what happens. Maggies ? Do some things well, however, compromised in many ways. Radio Shack Minimus 7s ? Before, or after, a crossover rebuild ? Ignorance is bliss.... 
Bose 901
Terrible ? Really ? I am sure, many here, who are downplaying the 901s, never heard them, set up optimally, with upgraded cables, to and from the eq, with the proper ss amp, to drive them, and, did not know, or understand, what dynamics, and scale... 
High Sensitivity Speakers
The fact that they are 17 years old, should not matter, imo. However, after that long, I would agree, that you have an itch to try something else. I have heard the uno’s, gen 1, on several occasions, and the only weakness I can detect, was a dispa... 
New Santana Album "Africa Speaks"
The cd is selling on the Bay, new, for under $5, inclusive with shipping. I do not stream yet ( I am still looking into it ), but the cd, sounds good on my system. The music....., wow. I know it is a very processed studio album, but as I said many... 
Bose 901
I have installed many pairs of these ( the 901 came in series 1 thru 6 throughout it's time ) in my early days of audio, and owned a pair, connected to a modified GAS Ampzilla amplifier. I suspended them from the ceiling, in all cases ( inverted, ...
