| Recent Ambient/Electronica? Zero One: "Prorotype 2" is an all-time classic. | |
| No Turning Back Now I've done the same, and it's a truly awesome experience - lots of folks use these projectors in this way. One thing to be aware of - the bulbs can run several tens of percent of the cost of a new unit. Just an example: an average Infocus brand pro... | |
| Praise for Audio Refinement, Boltz and Wharfedale Awesome - thanks for sharing these stories, I really enjoyed reading them tonight after a week when I had little of this sort of good news to report! They reminded me of the great service I've had from some manufacturers over the years - most nota... | |
| FedEx, and HELL VTL to the rescue Danlib1 - wait until they stack something on top of your pallet that is clearly marked "DO NOT STACK", regardless of how well banded or over-packed it is. Or when they run forks through your pallet it in a warehouse. Neither have happened to me wi... | |
| So YOU can't hear a difference in cables Gunbei - I detect lots of AU24 lovers in this thread. The prevailing sentiment in this thread is that people seem to hold the AU24 in a special light, and that those who cannot hear it that way must be wrong, or their systems poorly-matched. I par... | |
| Lots of Rogue Audio M120 mono blocks And the Magnum version M120s, which were upgrades over the original M120s. There are alot of these amps out there, and with those upgraded/newer products, it's a buyer's market. I'd recommend them, they're one of the better buys out there for the ... | |
| DK-Girl In The Other Room, anyone heard it? Damn, I thought you were talking about a Dead Kennedys album I had somehow missed.Er, nope... haven't heard it. | |
| old components for new small system ST202 - a nice classic B&K, and I concur with Reubent - sure you can reuse these for good (maybe even great) effect. But the 202 is what, 140w or so? And a little soft and slow perhaps. A nice and comfortable sound from solid-state, but if you... | |
| AR Turntable Website going online today Did you set your TTL to zero a week or more before the launch? | |
| what's your favorite album cover? I've always enjoyed most of Eloy's especially "Metromania" and "Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes". Very 70's prog - lots of great ones in that genre. On the YES theme - "Olias of Sunhillow" by Jon Anderson. Killer gatefold. | |
| Review: Classe Audio 70 Amplifier I have several pictures from the insides of a Seventy I owned last year. I loved the amp's detail, but it didn't produce enough useful low end, and I thought it sounded brittle when pushed. Quite frankly, I'm glad to be rid of it. I can email the ... | |
| New Metallica Box Set on Vinyl Almost a historically accurate selection of their best recordings. The debate over when Metallica jumped the shark (do you include "And Justice" as a classic album, or do you think it's carp?) is a biggie in metal circles. In my opinion, Puppets w... | |
| Hi-end CD 5-disk Changers? The Rotel (rcd-1055) has a full-size removable IEC type... I don't think the Marantz does - that's one reason I also looked into the Rotel. I'd have been happy to buy the Marantz, but I really don't like cheap captive power cords with my gear. I'd... | |
| Eerie, Ethereal, Moody, Involving Soundtracks Popol Vuh's soundtrack for Werner Herzog's brilliant late-70's remake of "Nosferatu". Eerie, ethereal, moody - all here in spades. A minimalist "krautrock" masterpiece. It's quite an adventurous instrumental album - if you're the type that plays i... | |
