| Are You Old Enough to Remember Those Jaw-Dropping Manufacturer Demos? My memory is a Dual demo, but it wasn’t the turned upside down one. It was playing the Telarc version of the 1812 Overture with real canons. I think it was an early digital recording. When the canons blew while playing on a “normal” counterba... | |
| Audiophiles in the Wild - They're on to us... Great stuff here! Although I made the grave mistake of starting it, and when I saw it was pretty funny decided to restart it and bring my wife in to watch it with me. Then it got to the part of the “secret credit card” and it got pretty awkward…... | |
| Upgrade to PS Audio Direcstream Mk1 and Mac Mini? Hi Malcolm - I don’t have much to input on your question on pre-amp or not (although I prefer using my BHK Pre vs going direct), but if you stay with the MK I, I’d highly recommend removing the Bridge2 and going to an outboard streamer (I have the... | |
| Looking for a great front ported bookshelp speaker recommendation I’d recommend an option to check out would be the older version of the Vienna Acoustic Haydn Grande. They have a front port. The newer model has the rear port, but the older model as a used option would be a good consideration IMOH. | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. Best I can come up with is Leon Russel’s Carney. Don’t know why, but I keep coming back to it. High Wire is a great song but then you have some weirdness and then you end with Magic Mirror - a great reflection on society putting us into what other... | |

| Share MYSTICAL, HAUNTING songs See a few Neil Young entries, but mine is - Soldier. The fire crackling and the lyrics always entrance me. | |
| What Is The Most Romantic Song That You Have Ever Listen To? Hands down most romantic -“Cuddle Up” on Carl and the Passions “So Tough” album | |
| MG12 QR Maggies with Mye stands, or 1.7i's with stock stands? Thanks for the reply. My room is in the basement with low ceilings (sadly) and oddly shaped - one wall opens to a stairway. Basically 22' by 15' across, with 5' of it 6'3" ceiling, and the other 10' with 7'3" ceiling (darned plenum!). I have the... | |
| MG12 QR Maggies with Mye stands, or 1.7i's with stock stands? Thanks - glad you are enjoying your speakers. I'm wondering if I'd get close to that level of satisfaction with just adding the Mye stands to my 12 QR's. They seem to be pretty close to the 1.7's - albeit a little smaller. Have you compared you... |
