| Odd shaped Amps and preamps H2O, MSB and Nagra all made distinctive, non-box like power amps. I'm sure there are others. | |
| DIY/Home Brew Taking A Risk Please post pictures of your system. | |
| Meridian DSP 7200 - How good is this compared to.. Meridian makes excellent systems. They take a fully integrated approach which for most audiophiles doesn't work. Expensive and not particularly a good value, but capable of outstanding sound. If you're not an audiophile and you wanted top tier sou... | |
| Best rock bass player Everyone I would nominate has already been mentioned, except for Jimi Hendrix. | |
| Wet speaker cables No first hand experience with this cable, but from looking at pictures I don't see how letting them stand in water (assuming no chemical contamination) will hurt them or effect performance. As long as the terminated ends weren't in the water you s... | |
| Manufacturer Repairs? What is a reasonable time? Three months is a long time, but it's not outrageous. Before going nuclear make an effort to clearly express your displeasure to the proprietor and offer them the opportunity to make it up to you. A firm return date is what you're looking for. If ... | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi That's a great response Charles1dad. Knee jerk conspiracies are lame, but somehow the NYT and NPR are behind them and free choice is about to be taken away. You've said it all! | |
| Why does most new music suck? Rather than all the good melodies already having been used, could it be that all the intelligent statements about music certain people refuse to acknowledge, let alone comprehend, have already been posted? | |
| Great Overall Career Arc -- Group/Solo I think Robbie Robertson's solo work is of superior quality. I could see where some people would add Levon Helm to this list. I also rank Jack Bruce's solo career higher than Eric Clapton's, but both pale when compared to their work with Cream.How... | |
| Great Overall Career Arc -- Group/Solo Some nice calls, but also some clunkers. My criteria are great group and great solo careers.Hendrix - undistinguished before the experienceTodd R. - were the Nazz a great group?Kim Carnes - a great solo career?L. Rondstadt - the Stone Ponies a gre... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Here's a list from 2011 from the magazine NME. It's their 150 best tracks of the past 15 years. It doesn't matter whether you agree with their selection or not, but it does represent a nice collection of recent pop/rock music. If you are truly int... | |
| Why does most new music suck? No I am not calling you degenerate. That would be completely uncalled for based upon anything I've read from you. It would also be rude. What I've done is quote someone who has pointed out that good manners and civility are a method used by one cl... | |
| Why does most new music suck? To paraphrase Edgar Quintet -- civility and good manners are ordinarily the last refuge of a degenerate nobility.One aspect of good music is knowing the rules and when to break them. The same applies to good conversation. | |
| Mix RCA With Balanced ?? Get rid of the CJ and get a fully balanced preamp and use balanced cable throughout. I've never heard the CJ, it has a great reputation, but so do other tube based balanced preamps (Atmasphere, ARC, BAT, EAR, etc.). | |
| Why does most new music suck? Frogman, you're statement about modern "country" music is not surprising. The majority of today's country music sounds like soft rock from the 1980-90s. It's a long way from Hank Williams.Byroncunningham, thanks for alerting us to the threat to ou... |
