| Dylan live now I probably shouldn't have specified Jingle Bells. I don't know if it's on the album. Sorry if I misled anyone. | |
| Dylan live now "I actually find it better and nicely suited to the material." Not "Jingle Bells" | |
| Dylan live now A news program played a couple brief excerpts from his forthcoming Xmas album. They reported that his portion of the proceeds will be donated to charity, but Oh-man, did he sound bad. | |
| Wanting separates but help needed ....... Well, I take it that "bright or shiney" applies to both of your sources so you're probably right to look at your speaker/amp synergy. I've heard a couple of different JM Lab speakers with BAT products and generally liked the sound. The beauty of A... | |
| Wanting separates but help needed ....... I'm surprised to hear that the BAT is warm sounding with the Focals. Even though the term warm is subjective, I would be inclined to look elsewhere for that particular issue. I tend to agree with you that more power (especially in the form of curr... | |
| Wanting separates but help needed ....... "I have read a lot and tend to think that a Pass x250.5 and the new model 10 pre could be a good decision." - You're absolutely right, it could."Would McIntosh or others be a better choice?" - Absolutely could be.I recognize that those answers are... | |
| Newbie - Which USED Amp & Preamp for under $2500 Like Kurt_tank, I too am wondering how attached you are to your speakers. With $2500 to spend on amplification, you could easily outclass the 602s. I think Kurt is giving you advise worthy of consideration. | |
| Passive Preamps Tholt"The real (and only) point was related to Phaelon citing you agreeing with Lrsky in a completely different thread to back up his own agreement with him here. Which struck me as funny."Tvad is a Battleship while I'm a PT Boat. If I can access ... | |
| Passive Preamps My first preamp was a McCormick Micro Line Drive paired with its companion Micro series amp. The Line Drive was capable of both passive and active operation with the passive option receiving all the positive reviews. In fact, if I remember correct... | |
| Do you ever wonder? A live audience seems to bring out the worst in Shirley Bassey - Her live performances are way over the top IMO. But once she did "Goldfinger" and "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" she should have been contracted to do every Bond film. | |
| Do you ever wonder? "I'm a member of that club."Me too - but I get the feeling that I'm missing something. | |
| Driving ALON V with CJ Premier 11: Can I improve? Talk about being a day late and a dollar short - I can't believe that I didn't look at the OP date. | |
| Driving ALON V with CJ Premier 11: Can I improve? I own the cj Premier 17LS but the consensus is with Downunder concerning the superiority of the 16LS. That said, the 16LS is considerably more expensive and harder to find. I auditioned the PV14 before choosing the 17LS which I thought was, far an... | |
| Passive Preamps The above posts are correct - it's a numbers game. But that's pretty much for comparably priced preamps, IMO. I haven't heard the passive that can compare to the really high-end actives. | |
| Do you ever wonder? Sinatra still works, and IMO always will, after thirty. |
