| A great, great talk by Robbie Robertson on all things The Band. Imagine The Band without Robbie Robertson? How about Little Feat without Lowell George or The Beach Boys without Brian Wilson? They were all interesting bands that produced high quality music without their former chief songwriter, but they are e... | |
| Audible illusions need Balanced output You could use external Jensen transformers between the AI preamp and ARC amp. | |
| I am sad A public display of self-pity. MAN UP SOLDIER! There's no crying in High End Audio. | |
| Why Energize the Whole Room/Virtual Reality Audio? Confirmed. | |
| Why Energize the Whole Room/Virtual Reality Audio? CDC, I don't know the answer to those questions. Deep333, I don't think you understand the premise. | |
| Joey Molland has passed away I didn't know who Mr. Molland was until an old interview with him came up on my news feed yesterday. He talked about how watching Elvis P. inspired him to play guitar and how he wasn't really interested in joining Badfinger because they weren't h... | |
| Do you grade your albums? I rate by how much I like the music with sound quality having no consideration. One to five stars plus an added category of "All Time Best". The recording quality thing just eliminates too much great music. I'd rather listen to a primitive qual... | |
| Is there an 'Audiophile' Reel-to-Reel Machine for Under $1,000? You can find good quality Pioneer, Sony, Akai and Teac decks for under $1,000 on CL. Plan on spending an equal amount getting them refurbished. It's not as expensive as some of the above replies state. | |
| Best Exercise To Improve Capability Of Handling Heavy Amps Even if you are strong and fit it's best to move heavy stuff with a helping pair of hands. Use common sense. | |
| Any comments on the T+A PA 2000 R integrated amplifier? Just because it may sound somewhat better doesn't mean it will be more emotionally engaging. You'll only know if you swap them out and listen. Is there solid factory/distributor support for the T&A where you live? | |
| Do you agree with John Atkinson (and me)? Purchasing and using physical media is a commitment by the user. Streaming doesn't require that same level of emotional input. As an analogy: I go to a restaurant and order a steak. It looks great, smells wonderful and tastes like something fro... | |
| Do you agree with John Atkinson (and me)? How do you know you have 110 million tracks? Did you count them or are you so gullible as to believe what THEY tell you? There's massive fraud in streaming! | |
| "The room can totally wreck, or make, a system" I think the title to this thread overstates the issue. Obviously the room is very important, but it's only a make or break situation if the listener makes seriously unwise choices in loudspeakers. It involves trade-offs. If you want full range ... | |
| LoFi I recently got a WiiM Amp for the bedroom. It feeds a pair of old NHT floorstanders. The loudspeaker positioning is determined entirely by practical room considerations and not by sound quality. There are no room treatments. The source materia... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Another Robert Altman film with a great soundtrack is "Kansas City". It has a cheesy plot, but the highlights are jazz at the Hey Hey Club scenes. |
