| Song intros that really grab you? ? Most notable one chord (if you wanna call it that) intro! - Hard Day's Night. | |
| Best Quality Recording On Vynil I listen to a lot of classical vinyl, and am often shocked at how bad some of the "pro's" recommended recordings are. I suppose if all you ever listen to is Mercury, Columbia, RCA, Philips, and London, then Living Stereo, Living Presence, and FFSS... | |
| ELP laser turntable - any comments? Arthur Salvatore has a somewhat informative page about the ELP: http://www.high-endaudio.com/RC-ELP.html | |
| Buggtussel Question I had the same problem, among others with my Solitarious (which I didn't keep for long). I emailed you privately about this, so as not to create a "stir".All I can say here is, I was thrilled when they were gone. | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr. re: Hasn't the original poster... Because it's never too soon to start thinking about your NEXT speaker purchase! | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr. I think a major point is being missed. The original post stated, "I listen to primarily Jazz and other acoustic music." Is there anybody who really thinks that the vr4jr's are going to be better at that? Rock, yes. Large scale Classical, maybe. H... | |
| Sibilant test ? "Trust in Me" Successive sss's sure sounds simply sibilant sometimes! | |
| Thiel CS6 to Von Schweikert VR4 JR - Am i Crazy? Yes, you're crazy. VR4 Gen. III se's maybe, VR6 maybe - not VR4jr's.But then we're all crazy, or we wouldn't be spending so much time here! | |
| Dahlquist DQ-20 Fan club Rant By The Way, since this thread revived here. I was able to do a side by side comparison of my DQ-20i's and Alon V mk. III's for a full week in my living room - thanks to a very nice fellow Audigoner who was selling the Alons locally. I rigged up a ... | |
| Spica TC-50/REL Strata II vs. GMA Europa? If you really like the Spicas and just want them to play louder and "rock" a little more, it wouldn't be crazy to pick up a reasonably priced pair of TC-60's. They're ported and so have more punch than the 50's, I believe replacement drivers are s... | |
| Treatment for rubber speaker surrounds? Here is what you want. I used to rebuild and restore inflatable boats - and this is the ONLY product to use on rubber. You can get samples from the company absolutely free. No kidding:http://www.303products.com/main.php?infopage=freesample | |
| Spica TC-50/REL Strata II vs. GMA Europa? I'm a long time Spica fan, have owned them for almost twenty years and love them for certain things, but for rock my opinion is that they suck. No doubt a REL in the equation would help. But the problem I find with TC-50's is that they don't handl... | |
| Dahlquist DQ12 As an experienced DQ owner, I pretty much agree with everything Vortex says. The more power the better. I'd say 100 watts (solid state) is the bare, bare minimum. If you're on a tight budget, a good sounding, cheap amp which mates well with DQ's i... | |
| Proac 2.5's-something not quite right- ideas? Audiophiles and especially those who market to them love to sweep one of the most important foundations of modern science under the rug: Occam's Razor. "Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem" - loosely paraphrased as, "the simplest exp... | |
| VR-4jr or Gallo Nucleus Reference 3 I agree with Zog - neither of these would be on my list. These are both heavily advertised (and therefore hyped by reviewers for the pubs in which they spend their ad dollars.) And this spills over into Audiogon - because there's a lot of people w... |
