| Robert Plant Zep has been my favorite band since I was 10 (now 63) and have the tattoos to prove it. I was devastated when Bonham passed. I met Plant the morning after a show in Norfolk Virginia at breakfast in the hotel. He was with the entire band (Sensation... | |
| 50 ways to leave your lover Gadd is and always has been my favorite drummer. He is from Rochester NY which is a few miles from my home town. I had the opportunity to briefly talk with him once which made my hi-lite real. Among other things we discussed him touring with Clapt... | |
| Preamp for First Watt F7 I ran a Rogue RH-5 with an First Watt F6 and thought it was an excellent match. I just received it back from Rogue with a clean bill of health if you're interested. I also have a bunch of spare tubes if you are so inclined. | |
| Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds In the last 3 years I have gone through too many class A and A/B amps (integrated and separates) to mention. I just bought a Luxman L-509Z. I use an Aurender A20 as my digital source. Speakers are Harbeth SHL5s 30th anniversary. Even the phonostag... | |
| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? Any social media site, even one small and somewhat esoteric as this one, is just a microcosm of society. | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? Shunyata Venom-X EF With patience these can be found used for $500 | |
| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? I always thought of a reference system as just that, a reference. In other words, something you can compare other hardware to in order to make a judgement as to whether a change makes a difference, good, bad or indifferent, to your ears. All syst... | |
| Getting into the music I feel your pain. Since retiring I have chased "the sound" and finally it hit me. I was wasting too much time in the critical listening arena and not enjoying the music. Then one day, on a whim, I tried out an old pair of Klipsch Chorus ll speaker... | |
| Scent of an Audio Store @czarivey My unit always smells nice | |
| Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others? With each decade someone new floats to the top of my list. The days of Zeppelin, Grateful Dead, ABB etc are past, though I still listen to them. I spend most of my time searching for music from my youth I missed out on. Most of it is Fusion Jazz b... | |
| "The Ultra High-End Speaker." My 2 cents: Over the past 30 years I have listened to too many speakers to list. Ranging in price from a few thousand to nearly $100K for a pair. In many different settings with a large variety of expensive gear. A few months back a friend bought... | |
| Integrated Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution I am contemplating a pair of these with my Luxman L-509Z. If I pull the trigger I will share my observations with you. | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! I found them. I can't afford them, YET!!! After the new year I will be the proud new owner of a pair of Fleetwood Devilles. | |
| Can you touch the tubes? I believe this train of thought comes from warnings on head light bulbs in the auto industry. Quote: When changing the headlight, highbeam or foglight bulb on your vehicle, it is of paramount importance that you not touch the glass part of the bu... | |
| Is there miracles in audio experience ? The miracle for me was obtaining the new Luxman L509Z. After plugging more than a dozen high quality amplifiers into my system I found nirvana for my ears. No more l lugging heavy amps to FedEx. My neurosurgeon is very happy for me. |
