| Selling towers - keep getting bad actors/scammers when doing local pickup only. Sorry for your troubles OP. Personally, I've had lots of good experiences on USAM. I prefer to do local buy/sell using cash only. But, We are not talking high dollar items here. The most was my Hegel h360 that I paid $2,600 for a few years ago... | |
| Your first concert was to see who and when? Rush at the Chicago International Amphitheatre, 1980 I believe. What a blast that was! | |
| I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You??? Yes, been hearing it for years. I even have a drummer buddy who had the same pedal years ago and it had a similar squeak. It was considered a badge of honor! My group were all big Zep heads back in the day. | |
| Vinyl Warm Up Time OP, it's amazing to me that your system started sounding more convincing at Tormato. That album (CD too) sounds horrible at any time or on any system! I love YES but their recording quality is pretty poor across the board. Drama being one of th... | |
| Any modern rock recommendations? I highly recommend checking out the YouTube channel Sea of Tranquility. Tons of great content with reviews, discussions, shows, etc. Emphasis on rock, metal, prog, and fusion. Some jazz thrown in. They have a website too. Great resource for mus... | |
| AUDIO SHOWS! WHAT would you like to see more of there. Better brands, hours etc? How about that it should be mandatory to practice personal hygiene before attending. At a bare minimum take a freaking shower. At Axpona this year there were several times that I had to move along because of someone stinking up the place. I'm n... | |
| Gain level on a REL sub We are really talking about two different speakers here. I had the same Hsu sub and yes, it was a beast, providing very deep bass with slam factor. But, after messing around with it for a year I ended up realizing that I just did not like it. T... | |
| Is this a new trend? @yesiam_a_pirate I sure hop it wasn't an even trade!!! | |
| Whats playing on your system today? King Crimson 'Larks tongue in Aspic' I am a latecomer to KC, just really getting into them the last couple of years. This recording is fantastic IMHO. Instrument separation, dynamics, tone, it has it all. A real in the studio feel to me. Some... | |
| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? Wow, what a great list going - kudos. And I always thought you guys were just a bunch of gearheads! @blackbag20 That Moses Yoofee trio is killer stuff, thanks for that! | |
| Gold Note PH-10 vs Manley Chinook Thanks for all of the suggestions. I managed to pick up a Sutherland 20/20 which is doing a nice job at present. Very quiet and balanced IMO. But, I am still interested in trying the Chinook. Thanks again | |
| Dusting gear and turntable @waytoomuchstuff +100! I'll make sure to get after my wife about more frequent vacuuming! LOL It would be easier to hire a French maid. My Rega P6 has a dustcover which does a pretty nice job for the TT itself. I'll grab a swiffer and some f... | |
| Used tube preamps, Cary, AR, Aesthetix, Wells...........or? @billpete There is an upgraded Cary SLP-98L on USAM for $2k. I've been eyeballing it for a while now, surprised it's still available. Good luck with your search. | |
| My Sonus Faber Amatis have weak bass even though I'm running ML 536s--800 w/ch into 4 ohms Some beautiful speakers you have there - congrats! I will pile on that the SF are just not pressurizing the room, which when you put it all together from your description, is quite large. Try walking around the room and stopping here and there.... | |
| Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s Geez, I need to get some new friends! Congrats. Nothing to add, except that I'm listening to my Rogue Atlas/Perseus combo right now and it sounds great. I would definitely be in for some higher power Rogue gear if it comes my way. Interesti... |
