| New Audio Research Reference 150 SE Herb ...How's you 150-SE doing at this point?? How about you, Bif?? | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Dweller ...I'm sure the REF-5se is much better than the REF-3 that now resides in my system. For now, it will have to do. I forget the brand of Scotch Bob brought over, but man, was it good. Nice and peaty. One you should try is Glenfarclas. Nice ... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... My pleasure, Bob. I wish you could have stayed longer. There's something magical that happens when the new amp is on at the three hour point. I continued listening after you left, and wow ... just wow. I'm looking forward to hearing your system. I... | |
| Glenn Campbell - new found respect And talkin' 'bout country artists, can Charlie McCoy blow a harp, or what? | |
| Phasing out of Compact Disc By the time CDs came out, I already had a sizeable record collection. I was the first on the block to buy a CD player. It was one of those Phillips top loaders. I quickly learned that Sony's claim of "Perfect sound forever" was a joke. As more peo... | |
| Glenn Campbell - new found respect One of the great things about this hobby is, if one is really in it for the music, and not necessarily for the equipment, one's musical taste expands. That's not to be "slammed." Its to be celebrated. Glen Campbell was a great guitar player. My fa... | |
| Anyone seen audiophile lisence plates passin' by? How about TWEAKER? Oh ... on second thought ... never mind. | |
| Linda Ronstadt/Nelson Riddle Lewm ...I have that Sinatra album ... its a killer, especially if you're a little depressed. Great sound. Funny how with a great system the personalities of the singers just comes through along with the music. Sinatra was such a great singer. I've... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... I'm up to 170 hours on the new amp now. It continues to improve. Last night I put on a sound stage spectacular. Here's a promo copy for sale on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ANDREAS-VOLLENWEIDER-White-Winds-Original-PROMO-LP-from-1984-CBS-FM-39963... | |
| JPS Labs Superconductor vs FMS Zero vs Emperical D I've been using FMS Microwave IC's between my turntable & Phono, and between the phono and preamp for years. They're the best so far and I feel no compunction to upgrade from them at all. Very transparent and musical. Tonally great.They are so... | |
| Wife stepping on speaker wire Put up a sign right by the cables that reads: "Step on these cables and I will never have sex with you again!" Oh wait ... | |
| Diana Krall, Wallflower Good Grief!! How is being a critic of a performer or music in general a "needless argument" or starting a "fight?" These forums are intended for people to not only discuss audio, but also to express their opinions. Perhaps you should change your h... | |
| Diana Krall, Wallflower If you listen to Krall on her early discs and watch her in concert on her early stuff, she sound fresh and alive. Personally, I think her voice has gotten tired. It happens to the best of them ... although it usually takes longer. Case in point: D... | |
| Diana Krall, Wallflower Diana Krall ... Live at Newport 1999. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXLMCMIGb0sAnd then there is the genius of Michel Petrucciani: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrjzobMEu2Q | |
| Linda Ronstadt/Nelson Riddle Bifwynne ...I'm happy that you're enjoying the recordings. They're among my favorites. Here's another must have: Dean Martin's "Dream With Dean." Its just been re-released by acoustic sounds on a two-record set ... 45rpm. But, if you can find a cl... |
