| Songs that Inspire or Move you At this split second Nina Simone's cover of Dylan's "Ballad of Hollis Brown" comes to mind.In a completely different realm, Domenico Zipoli wrote some devastatingly moving vocal music way back when. I was listening to some this morning on Spotify.... | |
| Ornette Coleman, RIP I was a young teenager when Mr. Coleman made his "controversial" New York City debut playing his plastic alto sax. Lenny Bernstein raved about him, which helped quell some of the uproar.I wasn't old enough to hit the Village club, but his music ch... | |
| Best Computer Speakers After more than 30 days of listening to the Audioengine 5+ I'd like to report that I'm extremely pleased with them. My search for computer speakers has ended happily. They are much more than "good enough" for "serious listening" when my main syste... | |
| Vandersteen Seven Review "We all watched in awe as bombs and missiles were dropped with incredible precision and obliterated the Iraq military machine."When I read these words I could not help but wonder if any of the OHB's -Obliterated Human Beings in the 'Iraq military ... | |
| My stereo isn't doing it for me. Need advice A confounding thread, to say the least. As others have said, unless you can articulate/identify the desired destination other than "fuller sound", which is rather ambiguous, you cannot get there from here. OP- you've got terrific components in a s... | |
| Yet another Cheap DAC thread... Update.When I said "cheap" I was thinking around a hundred bux or so. But I found an eBay deal on a Behringer UCA202 which I figured I'd try. What's to lose at under $25 including shipping?Well, right out of the box, while it may not be a giant-sl... | |
| DIY Stereo Rack I used butcher block from Ikea put together with 1" solid threaded steel rods, big hex nuts, and steel washers. Herbie's Audio Lab persuaded me not to use rubber washers under the steel.Legs are tapped 1/4 x 20 to accept spikes de jour. Currently ... | |
| Yet another Cheap DAC thread... "05-09-15: Cerrotand would you be listening to real music or MP3.s?"Actually all the music I listen to is so beautiful it's simply and devastatingly unreal. | |
| Yet another Cheap DAC thread... Somehow the subject line of this thread got truncated and should read "yet another Cheap DAC thread" I'm attempting to to correct the title of this thread. | |
| which sub to get FWIW:In my small (11x13) dedicated listening room the main speakers are a pair of Sonus Faber Liuto monitors As an experiment, I added a couple of Andrew Jones designed Pioneer SW-8MK2 subwoofers. I'm quite pleased with the results. The ROI on thi... | |
| Audio Space LS-3/5a Bookshelf with SW-1a Subs Geoff-Thanks for the clarification. | |
| JBL LSR305 Studio Monitor: Opinions? I had intended to audition the JBLs but found that to be logistically more of a challenge than I first thought. When I saw a great deal on a pair of refurbished Audioengine A5+'s I grabbed 'em.The A5+ are placed on my computer desk and after just ... | |
| Best Computer Speakers Quick update:I just received a pair of A5+'s which I've placed on my computer desk and after a few minutes of listening, I'm enjoying the "larger" sound as compared to the A2+, which are also fine speakers IMO.I agree with Lak that the A5+ are def... | |
| Audio Space LS-3/5a Bookshelf with SW-1a Subs Geoffkait:I read the op's post because I'm interested in the LS-3/5a's and you write:"Should be fine. The speakers are quite inefficient so throwing more power at them is a little like pissing up a rope."How is adding more powerful amplification t... | |
| Chapman Speakers? Stuart is offering a custom wood cosmetic version of the T7 and T5.I don't know if this is available as a "kit" or upgrade, but from the photos I've seen, it looks lovely. His woodworker is a local artisan, and as far as I can tell, there's little... |
