| Are you an Audiophille or a Music Lover No.2 ? Assuming that by "new original music released from 2002" you are including new performances/recordings of music composed in the past (eg classical), I would choose the music. Well, in fact, unless something breaks, that's what I've chosen anyway e... | |
| Rock albums that sound good on your system? Ridiculous. | |
| Rock albums that sound good on your system? Stone Coyotes, "Born to Howl" - see the review at allmusic.com. "Church of the Falling Rain" and "Situation Out of Control" are also good.Los Lobos, "How Will the Wolf Survive," "Kiko," and "The Neighborhood" are all very good. | |
| Best female vocals on CD Fitzterry, glad to "meet" another Maura O'Connell fan. Do you have "Wandering Home"? And have you heard her duet, "Love Won't Come" with Tracy Nelson on one of Tracy's cds? Stunning. Two of the best voices ever.When Alison Krauss accepted her firs... | |
| Need help with a pair of small speakers BBC ls3/5a's by Harbeth or whoever would probably work ok. Another possibility is the same sized Spendor S3/5. The same sized and sealed Harbeth HLP3ES might be a better speaker than those just mentioned, and its bass response and even soundstagin... | |
| What would you do about a sleazy buyer?? Maybe he couldnt tell the difference and was too embarrassed to say, so he made up the story about his finances? Is this sort of thing off limits for feedback, ie, does there have to be a completed transaction? | |
| Is it just me or.....? It isn't you - it's Memorex. No wait, it's Margo Timmins. No, it's a Klipschorn.Certainly more conversational than other forums. Lots of words about various differences of opinion. I'm not sure how interesting, though, and forget about informative. | |
| Which direction would you go? Honestly. Get the Marantz cd player if they still market it, or a used Denon 1650ar, a NAD C370 integrated, and Harbeth Compact 7ES speakers. (I do not own the Marantz, I do have a Denon in my home office system, I don't own the NAD, but I do have... | |
| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? Responding to one of Mark's posts above, I am not a Luddite either, but I am a Neanderthal (figuratively as well as genetically I think).As I've said many times before, I love these cables threads on A'gon, because they go on and on. As some have ... | |
| Greatest Songwriter of all time Obviously, we're just talking about ourselves when we join in these "greatest" lists. For all we know some Calabrian peasant in the pre-electronic age was the "best" songwriter ever. As you said way up there somewhere, most of us are talking about... | |
| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? God, should you choose to accept his existence, exists beyond His creation and for that reason may not be "measurable." All evidence of anything made by man is certainly measurable by man.Of course some scientists are or were religious, and some a... | |
| Greatest Songwriter of all time You guys have a good point, but, while I acknowledge the greatness of the composers listed by Rayhall, still Buddy Holly was the best composer since Bach, and the best songwriter ever. | |
| Adcom 565 pre-amp fit here? I recently acquired a second-hand 565 pre-amp for my second system, but have been using it in my main system lately. It's a very good preamp, and the one I have has plenty of depth. Neutral, inoffensive, dynamics are fine. Frankly, I don't see muc... | |
| which dynamic speaker has quads fab mid presence Harbeths. If you can afford them and have the room, the Monitor 40. Less room and less money, the HL Compact 7. | |
| Rap music on high-end speakers I thought so too. Shameless plagiarism. Imitation the sincerest form of flattery and all that. Don't know where I saw it recently, either here or AA, or who is the source.I only wish someone had told me that when I was much much younger. |
