| New Marantz SA11S2? This repartee between MrTennis and Zear really drives home the fact there is a often a large disjunct among us regarding the way we perceive sound. I do not wish to be rude to MrTennis, he has a right to his opinions, biases, and preferences. Hope... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! Corazon, the point about "no good guitar players" parallels similar things I've noticed. We've got several college age interns working in our studio this summer and they've been dominating the iTunes selections pumping through the shop for the las... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! I usually stay away, far away, from threads of this sort. They are like arguments between Ford vs. Chevy vs. Dodge truck owners at a mud bogging contest. I agree with Fusion10. Very few of these recording artists mentioned are really bad, they hav... | |
| What of your CD's have good sonics? Hi CatfishBob, I was curious if your system and room are still the same as discussed in your earlier "my system" thread? If we haven't heard your system, it's hard for someone discussing this topic to tell if we're taking about Elizabeth's "critic... | |
| What of your CD's have good sonics? I don't find myself having the same reaction. About the only classic rock album that I can think of that I find unbearable is U2's "War." What aspects of reproduction do you find unbearable? While many older recordings certainly aren't state of th... | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? I play one of five guitars I have at the time. There are two USA Hamers, a T-51 & a Daytona, Robin Avalon, Tokai TST-56, & a Larrivee Pete Anderson Signature. I mainly use a Allen Class Act for my amp. It's a cool little amp that uses any ... | |
| Acoustic Signature Turntables Jeff_ss, thanks for posting that KT imports can repair the power supply should the need arise. That's one aspect of owning the Final Tool that worries me a bit. As an aside, I'll mention that Gunther gave me fabulous service when I wanted a new mo... | |
| New reissue of Exile on Main Street I'm listening to side two of the '94 Ludwig remaster now. Like Sit, I think this is a lousy, lousy recording. Some of us seem to find the murk and grunge appealing in a weird way, I just think it sounds crappy. I'm not the kind of listener that wh... | |
| How to choose the proper cart? Assuming you still are using the Goldring G1012, what aspects of your current analog rig's sound do you like and what do you perceive as weaknesses that need improvement? | |
| Analog care -- what do we NEED Why do we keep asking questions to which there are no answers? This is like asking "what is essential to the maintenance of my body?" For some of us, it's miles of running every day, weightlifting three times a week, yoga every night, and a strict... | |
| Just got Audible Illusions L1, but it sound harsh it's hard for others who can't hear your system to pin down what's causing your problems, but Stereo5's concerns about metal dome tweeters would sure top my list of things to consider. | |
| What are the weakest components in my system? What aspect of your current system's reproduction seems most lacking to your ears at the moment? Do you plan to systematically improve all your components as finances allow? A bit of forethought can help missteps at the start of this process. I'd ... | |
| Just got Audible Illusions L1, but it sound harsh In the past, I've thought something was wrong when I installed a new, higher quality component and then later came to realize it's greater transparency was revealing flaws elsewhere in my system. To solicit better informed opinions and suggestions... | |
| Rega RB700 vs Michell Tecnoarm? I'm not trying to hijack your thread, but I'm curious why you settled on those two and eliminated the Origin Live Silver from consideration? Is it considered less optimized for a Linn? I'm considering a future purchase of a similar tonearm and am ... | |
| Speaker refinish Even if Steveaustin's ProAcs weren't an oil or wax finish, an oil would have penetrated through the sides of the cracked veneer. Veneers with tiny little knots (like some Yews) or burls have a distinct tendency to craze & crack over time. Once... |
