| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Monk is Picasso, Klee, Pollack all rolled into one gleaming, delightful, attention grabbing musician. Even when I toss on records I've listened to a hundred times before I find myself guessing where his next strike will be, or hitting the rewind... | |
| New Sony Firmware For HAPZ1ES Player I've had the Hap for a while now and I must say that I'm quite happy with it overall. Good intuitive interface, useless remote, but easy enough to work from my dedicated iPad. (Which was on its way to the graveyard before I got into streaming/serv... | |
| Albums you can listen too all the way through and it's all good Went old school Sunday and listened to Radiohead's Moon Shaped Pool all the way through. Pretty damn good, kind of like Dark Side Of The Moon in that it keeps my attention all the way through. Good stuff. John Hiatt's Terms Of My Surrender is als... | |
| What has your audiophile experience taught you about yourself? Unfortunately I have learned that I cannot tolerate inferior sound almost anywhere I go. In other posts on the site I've mentioned how I have set up my girlfriend's house; Marantz 2250b receiver, Meadowlark Kestrels, Pro-Ject TT and Marantz cd... | |
| Five "Golden Rules" of HiFi? I've pretty much broken every rule purported here so I'll simply admit that I keep looking because I'm bored - and curious. While I'm not quite ready to scribe a "bucket list" for fear of tempting the fates, there are many pieces of equipment th... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...I'm using a Primare R32 phono preamp as well; so far the mating of the B. A. T. with the Primare is a very solid match - particularly with vinyl. The separation is practically magical. The Primare is still barely broken in as I've been b... | |
| Subwoofers I've been using the Rythmik L12 sub for about a week now and so far I find it very close to what I liked about my Rel. Although this doesn't have the neutrik connects like the Rel - a very easy hookup - it integrated into my system easily enough.... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...of course! | |
| Thiel Owners Mega millions NY jackpot $330 million. Tuesday drawing. I wagered $1. If I win it I'm buying Thiel. Not a pair of Thiels, Thiel itself. | |
| Tube integrated amp under $1000 I've had some of my vintage stuff checked out/repaired by a guy named Scott who owns SG Custom Sound in Douglaston NY. He's a musician, tech, and carries Jolida products. I was interested in a piece years ago and when I asked him if I should be ... | |
| Magneplanar .7 speakers. Have you heard or own them?? Sunnyjim...I haven't had an opportunity to listen to Scansonics as New York - which does have a few remaining bricks-and-mortar stores - doesn't appear to have a dealer. I've decided to add a sub into my Maggie .7 setup, in this case a Rythymik L... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? I would purchase a legacy Thiel over the new models. The new ownership has gone in a direction that is contradictory to Jim Thiel's designs. | |
| Any Bluetooth wireless speakers that you like? Mapman...I have both Deepblue's, the original and the 2. When I bought the 2 I moved the original to my office since I'm there about 5 times a month. I use the 2 at home on my deck, which I usually strap to a tree about ten feet away. I simply hoo... | |

| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? Thiel or Magnepan. Probably save some money, too. Probably a LOT. |
