RUsh: Feedback ep
Ben:Actually, Alice Cooper did have a song "Seven and Seven Is" from the Special Forces album (early 80's). A Love song makes much more sense though in this context ... Lee is the composer and it is from the late 60's. Thanks for the save. I heard... 
RUsh: Feedback ep
Interesting 8 song EP in the respect that the songs come from 4 sources. Five of the songs are either from the Yardbirds/Cream (Heart Full of Soul; Shapes of Things; Crossroads) or Buffalo Springfield (For What It's Worth; Mr. Soul). On top of tha... 
looking for amp for thiel 2.4 speakers.
I was speaking with some representatives from Musical Fidelity at the stereo show in NYC in May and they were demonstrating their amplifiers with Thiel speakers. Their claim was that this pairing was more than just a show pairing, but rather they ...

$600 budget, upgrage amp, cd or speakers? HELP
Normally, I would suggest spending the money on a good dedicated CD player, but as long as you primarily play MP3's ... the system sound can only go so far. If MP3's are going to remain your primary source for now, you may want to save your cash f... 
Changing to less expensive gear.
Nrchy:We seem to be weighing in on the same threads. I have two systems that I primarily use ... a higher end Musical Fidelity system and a mid-fi NAD/SONY system. I use the same speakers in each system ... I own 2 pair of Acoustic Research 302 Cl... 
NHT ST4 with Adcom Amplification?
Duane:The NHT ST4's will give you a noticeably different sound than the B&W's. I always found the B&W 600 series a little dry sounding, with a tendency to emphasize the treble end of the spectrum. The NHT's are going to sound warmer and so... 
Does people buying CD player anymore?
Godivaa:At this point, I have not heard a moderately priced DVD player that plays CD's as well as the moderately priced Music Hall MMF CD 25 CD player. The Music Hall does an all round sensational job and has HDCD capability. I have owned one for ... 
Parasound Vs Adcom
Slappy:If you are going with a smaller speaker like the BA Bravo, I am not sure why you would just not stay with your Denon 3805, especially given that the 3805 is the latest version of the 3800 receiver. The Bravos can only take a max of 125 wat... 
Favorite H H Scott Tube Integrated Amplifier
Karavite:Other than my dad, who was one of the best bench technicians that I knew, and who at age 82 retired his soldering gun a long time ago, I would recommend Bill at Music Technology. His particulars are:MUSIC TECHNOLOGY, INC.5418 Port Royal R... 
Best $500 combo player
968:I thought that Philips was discontinuing or had discontinued support for its products in the US. If that is the case and remembering some of the reported problems that Philips had with their model 1000 SACD player a few months back (check the ... 
Are You Happy With 2 Channel SACD?
Boldstrummer:In all candor, in this hobby, just about every "huge difference" that someone claims that they can hear is typically nothing more than something that is casually discernable and a function of how much they let it bother them. With tha... 
Marantz vs. Pioneer Receivers
For direct model comparison, you may wish to do a search in the Vintage Forum at Audio Asylum . Each brand has its fans; especially when it comes to the TOTL model offerings. I currently own/have owned lower powered models from each (Marantz 2240... 
Can you rate these amps for me?
The 2270 was the most popular of the well respected Marantz 22xx series of receivers from the 1970's, but it was also a bit of an anomaly. It had the characteristic warm, beefy sound of other Marantz receivers; but it operated a bit strangely with...
