| Best Speaker cables on the cheap? Do you suppose that 30 awg wire might be filtering out something unpleasant that the expensive and thicker wire is letting through? Maybe?The AQ Type 6, Axon and Ixos cables recommended above all seem like safe bets. I would avoid the Kimber 4PR, ... | |
| Ear Candy: Most startling recordings. This thread seems to have veered off course, from zany sounds to good sounds, so I'm gong to mention a cd that is startling in a different way, Rodney Crowell's "The Houston Kid."I cant write the music, but imagine not being able to get this littl... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers Well, S2k, if it sounded like I think the cdp is more significant than the amp, then I disagree with me too. Biggest change in sound in my system was when I went from a midfi receiver to a hifi amp. I certainly wouldnt recommend getting an inferio... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers Kraz, now you're in the treacherous realm of matching components with sonic signatures. At their price points, the Bryston and the Rotel have been well reviewed and praised by people here. If you like the sound of the Bryston, however, there is a ... | |
| What is the opposite of near field listening? OK, Whatjd, nobody's responded in all this time. Lol. But, very good point. A well known reviewer who shall remain anonymous recently commented, and I agree, that the sound is better in a sweet spot in front of a good stereo system than you would ... | |
| If You Could Only Keep 3-CD's LP's , Which Ones? This thread is premised on an absolutely evil thought. But I will offer 3:1. Barbara Keith, eponymous lp on Warner ca 1972, avalaible on a Japanese cd thru Amazon2. Eva Cassidy, Live at Blues Alley3. Iris Dement, Infamous AngelIf I had to clear ou... | |
| Where to buy Eva Cassidy's Song Bird LP in the US It was clear. BlixStreet distributed the cd and I called them and asked about the lp. | |
| Flamenco and Tango Manitas de Plata of course. The Carlos Heredia album mentioned by Herman above is really good.OT, David, I am really interested in those lps. Any duets? | |
| Where to buy Eva Cassidy's Song Bird LP in the US Blix Street Records will have it out in the US in a few months. You can email them at blixstreet@aol.comPaul | |
| Bookshelf/Monitor suggestions. Not an intrusion, people email each other all the time. I do it. It's just that my email address tells you exactly who I am, including my last name.The P3ES should sound very similar to the P3. They were both designed by the same person with the s... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers The road to perdition. See my second post above. Your questions touch on the subjects of many many threads here. There are no answers, only opinions. But I will tell you this: it's a bad idea to try to make up for one component's deficiencies by m... | |
| Suggestions of Excellent Hawaiian music? At the moment, I am listening to Keola Beamer playing a duet from an album called Wooden Boat. Then Keola playing something from another album, Moe 'Uhane Kika on Dancing Cat. Both very good recordings.I have a collection of Hawaiian Slack Key Gui... | |
| Bookshelf/Monitor suggestions. Trebleclef, you say in another thread that you have P3's in a den driven by a little NAD amp. In this thread you say you have heard them in a used record store. Which is it?Here's what a friend of mine who has heard both said over at AudioAsylum a... | |
| Bookshelf/Monitor suggestions. I had two pairs of Harbeth P3's. They were wonderful. I bought the second pair after I bought the first sound unheard and used them in different rooms. I have since replaced both with larger Harbeth speakers. But, believe me, you will not find muc... | |
| Suggestions of Excellent Hawaiian music? I don't know if it meets your standards of excellence, but one I think is pretty good except for one really dumb song is Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's Facing Future. The Over the Rainbow/Wonderful World medley that was used in Finding Forrester is reall... |
