| Had an epiphany, what would happen when all of you die? @luisma31. Music lives and will continue to live and provide people pleasure. As long as that is happening, there will be a desire to reach new levels of listening pleasure. I trust the hobby live on. I wrote into my will what my children shou... | |
| Jerry Garcia’s McIntosh amp @doug714 Fun Post. Thanks. | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? Oh, I remember another awfully boring show. It a James Taylor show in the mid-80's. I was in college and worked the show. I kept leaving to go to a friends party then come back hoping it got better. Never did. It was just so bloody boring. | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? Without a doubt, it was a Black Sabbath show in the mid-90's with Ozzy. It was loud, and just droned on and on. I went to see the opening band which was the Alvin Lee Band. Which was cool enough, but the real reason I went was Mick Taylor was i... | |
| Sonus Faber speaker boxes worth $1200 ? Boxes or Crates? Many times it is the inner packing that is more of a priority than the external sides. | |
| Beethoven Missa Solemnis @brownsfan Thanks for the response. If you would please, suggest one or two of your favorite Liturgical pieces (available on Tidal). I must admit, as I said in the original post, that I have a soft spot for Missa Solemnis by Solti & the CSO a... | |
| Mono vs. Stereo Expanding on this, what about repressings that are done in Mono? For Example, just picked up the Stones' Let It Bleed box. It has 180gr pressing of the Mono and Stereo versions. (Haven't played it yet.) I assume that my existing stereo cartridge... | |
| Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members! OP: Good to see your comments on McIntosh. I must say, I have done a bunch of upgrades over the last several years and the most impressive lesson I learned was how a good quality Power Conditioner can influence my sound. Not just a surge protect... | |
| Mono vs. Stereo Thanks to you all for your thoughts. Very helpful for me. I will investigate my Mac PreAmp for those adjustments @elliotbnewcombjr. Is that your Phono PreAmp or system PreAmp that you reference?I also like the idea of a mono cartridge. I'll ha... | |
| HOW MUCH DO NON-AUDIO FACTORS INFLUENCE YOUR AUDIO PURCHASES? I'm a McIntosh fan, need I say more about systems with components from the same manufacturer. | |
| TIDAL on SALE! If you sign up for Third Man Records' Vault Releases you can get Tidal HiRez for $5/month. | |
| Stereo Times list of the " 2020 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS" Love the $15K cartridge. I think I will get two. Always good to have a spare! | |
| Does Age Matter? 61 in a couple of days, and totally into Analog. Though my digital collection is quite large, my go to for good listening is analog. | |
| How eclectic is your taste in music? Amadeus to Zappa - IndeedI have this debate all the time with my audio consultant. He listens to god awful music (in my not so humble opinion) because it was recorded well and sounds great on the systems he demos. I listen to the musician an... | |
| Name the most recent album that has shaped your musical world The recent reissue of the Heshoo Beshoo Group - Armitage Road was a recent game changer for me. I'm a big fan of African Music but this reissue of the only studio record put out by this short lived South African Jazz Ensemble is really cool. ... |
