| MBL omnidirectional speakers. How do they sound ? Here are some comments I made in another thread a six weeks ago. I've expanded for this topic. I most recently heard the Corona line integrated amp, CD/DAC, and their entry level speakers (approx $30k for the three pieces) and it was very lovely.... | |
| Help me choosing an Integrated Amp Class D may indeed be a good thing to look into. I've heard the Mbl entry level system that uses Class D power ($30k for integrated, CD/DAC, speakers) and it is wonderful. Very musical if I do say so.But I'd look really closely at what the speaker... | |
| Tell Us about an Album That Took a Long Time to Grow on You I've had many records that I was initially very disappointed in for sure. Too many to remember for sure but here are a few I lovingly do remember the struggle.Talking Heads - Little Creatures. This album was played a lot in the electronics shop I ... | |
| High Quality Universal Player?? It depends how resolving you want the player to be. The 103 is very nice for video, in fact the same as the 105. However, the 105 has a significantly better audio section and that is what the price reflects. The 105 sounds very nice; it ousted a C... | |
| Your favorite one-man band! Jon Brion. | |
| Would you go all 1 brand for electronics? 2psyop - Check out the entry level Mbl system. I've heard a number of their systems including the Extreme and the 101E MKIIs with all Mbl electronics. The entry level is very nice for the $30k price tag. Still, too rich for me. Maybe at retirement... | |
| Would you go all 1 brand for electronics? mountainsong - I heard a mostly Gamut system at the Show in Newport. It was very good in my opinion. I could easily live with it except I don't have any vinyl! | |
| Would you go all 1 brand for electronics? mofimadness said,"If cost no object...MBL." Fully agreed. I've heard a number of their systems and they are the electronics and sound I long for. I most recently heard the Corona line integrated amp, CD/DAC, and their entry level speakers (approx ... | |
| What is going on? No-one buys good stuff priced right. Mapman said "that and also stagnant wages and rising cost of living probably has something to do with it."Stagnating here for years in SoCal and cost of living just keeps going right on up. Puts that Mbl system right out of reach for me too. | |

| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Thanks for the kind words Ghosthouse.The Grays. What a great supergroup. Ro Sham Bo is an amazing compilation of songs by some of LAs great songwriters; a very solid record front to back. I had the opportunity to see them while I was in college an... | |
| Anything you liked at the Newport Show? fourwndsI too visited Klaus's room. Sounded very good on rock music. Clean, open, realistic; nice punch. I was there when a man and his son had apparently just made the deal to buy the system in the room. They were pretty happy. I didn't catch the... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC RinpocheNice advice provided here. You mentioned Jeff Buckley and a song from Grace. I think that Tracks 1, 2, 3 & 7 are pretty amazing on that record. You also mentioned Lyle Lovett. Check out Joshua Judges Ruth. I think Tracks 4,... |
