| which auduo research pre? John, while I agree with you, the $1000 price range is a definite limiting factor. If Dpm wants a sound more like solid state, the LS2 or 3 is a decent way to go; if it's tube sound you're after, though, the LS7 is a possibility in this range if y... | |
| return of the king That's what I heard as well, making excellent marketing sense. Who knows, maybe we'll see Christopher Lee in it (since he wound up on the cutting room floor in the theatrical release)!!! | |
| Best of Home Entertainment 2004 NY ? Jsonic: As long as you enjoy your music, don't worry about the road to true audiophiledom! You seem to have your priorities straight if you went to the music vendors.On your description of the mbl speakers: must be a generation gap thing, but the ... | |
| Only use part of the receiver, any problem...help I'd first suggest using the tape loop output from the MD, assuming you have one, rather than the pre-out, which is really meant for situations where you use the receiver as your control preamp and want to use another amplifier. This would bypass t... | |
| Who is the Incognito distributor? I couldn't bring myself to say that, thanks for doing it, though, Tarsando! | |
| What do you look like? Now why would you want to ruin a perfectly good site with something like this? I think posting my picture would constitute some kind of violation of Federal law, and besides that, you can see it prominently displayed in every post office across Am... | |
| Golden age of vinyl recordings? In classical music, the so-called "Golden Age" was probably the mid-to-late 50s and early 60s, when companies were just starting in stereo, recorded in analog and didn't multi-mike or process the sound that much; as a result, recordings from that ... | |
| Lamm M 1.2 against Tenor 300 and Boulder 2060 I would second Brian's advice. The Halcro and Boulder electronics, in my auditions of them, are excellent but neutral almost to a fault, if that's possible--they reveal so much detail that I wind up hearing more of the recording and the upstream e... | |
| "3 Dimensional Sound"? While I've experienced the illusion too, not that many speakers can get the height aspect right--Dunlavy/Duntech and big Maggies seem to do it well, the Wilson Watt/Puppies never seemed to do it that well to me. However, while you're correct about... | |
| My baby left me... left me sad and bluuuuueee.... How about "I Feel Like Home Made Sh*t" by the Village Fugs? That one comes from the late 60s, and seems to sum up your feelings perfectly. | |
| ''I Feel Fine''by the Beatles, who does the lead ? With respect to Sunshine: Rosstaman is correct-Bruce sings the first and third phrase in each verse, Clapton the second. Even on my lousy Zenith record player you could hear the different timbres of the voices, and that's how they sang it in conce... | |
| Different sound from inputs 1 and 2 on preamp Usually the tape inputs have sounded the best on the Jadis preamps I've owned--probably less wire/bussbar to travel, although there is a cheap relay switch it goes through, which would seem to contradict my observations. On some preamps from Jadis... | |
| "Must-have" SACDs Out There If you like classical music and Mahler, the San Francisco Symphony Mahler cycle (Symphonies 1, 3,4 and 6 so far) is superb, has plenty of dynamics, bass and emotion. The more recent Telarcs, from the Vaughn-Williams Sea Symphony on (particularly t... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music The slow movements from the Shostakovich 5th Symphony and Violin, Cello and Piano Concerti. He had a special knack for writing these movements. | |
| Transport for a dCS Delius - HELP Having heard the Levinson 37 in my system, I'd say the Sony in its stock form was close to it; however, I admit to not liking the Levinson in my system that much. Since I had the Kern modifications done to my Sony, its performance as a transport h... |
