| When did it all start? When I was growing up in downtown Milwaukee we lived in a two family house. We were quite poor and only had an old tube bakalite radio. My mother always had it tuned to the 'Christian' radio station so I never heard any other music. One day I was ... | |
| cones or sorbothane or both? This is a question which cannot really be answered. As bizarre as it sounds, each of the isolation devices has a sonic signature. Aurios bearing sound different than navcom feet, and brass cones sound different than sorbothane. The only thing you ... | |
| Solid state amp ultimate stop... I have the Krell FPB 200 and I am very happy with it. BUT... if I had the chance, and/or the money I would gladly move up to the bigger FPB 600, or maybe mono blocs! Why can't I dream with someone else's money??? | |
| WOW SACD machines really do need time to break in. Maybe your Police SACD needed to be broken-in. I find most CDs sound better after several playings... or was that glasses of wine??? | |
| Soundstaging and imaging are audiophile fictions. Detlof is correct, if the hall is bad the sound is bad. The original statement is rather silly though. When I listen to live music I can close my eyes and hear where the musicians are and what instrument they are playing. I can't understand the po... | |
| 8 Time Grammy Award Winner? For Real? I enjoyed the CD, which actually surprised me. I bought it based on the recommendation of a fellow AudiogoNer. Actually I think it is right up there with most Grammy award winners... nothing special!!!I don't know what the industry is looking for,... | |
| Vinyl manufacturers don't stand behind product? I just bought a copy of Dark Side of the Moon for my brother-in-law. When he unwrapped it there was the residue of a sticker including glue and paper on the LP. The VPI 17 would not remove any of it. I brought it back without the receipt and the p... | |
| Recording Industry Dirt It's sad how many copies of old favorites I have bought over the years because the new releases do not interest me. Is it possible that the new 'Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Doors, Jethro Tull, Gordon Lightfoot, ____________ (insert your favorite here) ... | |
| Rush remasters- thumbs up. The drum solo you're thinking of was on 'All the Worlds a Stage" but I can't remember what song it's in. | |
| Rush remasters- thumbs up. Did these albums come out on vinyl too? | |
| Recording Industry Dirt I've wondered about this many times. Why are sales off so badly?Is it because the baby boomer rush is past and there aren't the young people to fill the gap they left when they stopped buying new music??? I know there are many 35+ people who bough... | |
| Need speaker suggestions please I suggest a darkhorse. Try a pair of Sony SS M9 or a pair of SS M7a. I know the name doesn't do anything for you, but these are great American designed and built speakers. They sound great and nobody knows about them. They can be had relatively ch... | |
| Best bang-for-buck purchase you have made? Best bang-for-the-buck, that's easy. I paid $1100 for a pair of Sony SS M9 speakers. I have been saving for a pair of Wilson Watt/Puppies or a pair of Soundlabs. I had twice that money saved but after hearing the Sony's I'm not sure I need them an... | |
| Are two dedicated lines better than one? I have also done the same as several of the other responders. Two lines; one for the front-end, and one for the amp. The cost is minimal, but the impact was worth it! I would not go back to one circuit again. I also recommend 15 amp for the front-... | |
| Every make a purchase you truly regret? Fortunately mine was software. I bought a UHQR from a jerk in Chicago who totally misrepresented the LP. Rather than 'mint' it was fair/good. Box was beat up and LP had a skip. $100 was too much for this LP! |
