| Subwoofer for Wilson Maxx2 I sort of agree with Rockitman. I use Maxx 2 now, Wp before these, and could not imagine having them that far into the room. Did you adjust the head unit, spikes and toe in when you moved them back? I also think something is not right somewhere. T... | |
| Speaker cables for Wilson Sophia 3 I have owned a variety of Wilson speakers over the last 10+ years, Maxx 2 at present, and have found MIT to be the cables that sound best with them. You will often see them showing with MIT as well as Transparent for what that's worth. With Sophia... | |
| Best Rock Album in 2011 Hmmm....Coldplay? I don't hear that in Bon Iver but I guess I see where you could. Not a big fan of Coldplay's music myself. Like the song goes "...some like KK Downing, some like Glenn Tipton...". | |
| Best Rock Album in 2011 Keithr: It's amazing. I had posted a comment in the other Best Of '11 thread about it. Absolutely brilliant album. Different than the first and his EP. Not quite as dark and more sophisticated musically, still the same character. It has almost a c... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Bon Iver - Bon IverBeen listening to a pre release copy of this for 2 days straight. My wife is about to strangle me. If you liked his other record and ep, you will love this. More complex, not nearly as dark but still very similar in structure. J... | |
| Berkeley Alpha DAC: cabling and breaking-in time I have been using the Berkeley for over a year now. I do think it went through some changes over the first month or so and a fellow member who received his around the same time had similar thoughts. I find the dac very sensitive to changes in digi... | |
| YouTube Favorites to share. One more and it's worth it. Please watch this!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJPtPrx7BzM&feature=related | |
| YouTube Favorites to share. I wasn't sure if I did that right. Anyway, those are Laura Marling w/Mumford's. She is one of my favorite artists period which astounds me given how long I have been into music and the fact that she is so young....simply an amazing writer, singer.... | |

| Neutral to Lean Power Cord for tube preamp You most certainly can achieve your goal via pc. I would look at whatever the highest Nordost cable you can find in your range. Those have exactly the flavor you described as the goal. GL! | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Wow Marco, thanks for the word on Gillian Welch. Didn't know she had one coming out. I'll keep an eye out for a pre release copy. As for Omar, many a Pimp has worn a pony tail. Don't be fooled...he's a bad mofo. Your boys Cassius and Captain do lo... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Thanks to Marco and the other folks that suggested Sarah Jarosz new release. Fine fine record. What a young talent! Watched her youtube vids of the Austin City Limits performance and just loved them. That is one heck of a band. She sounds much lik... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... James Vincent McMorrow "Early In The Morning"A highly recommended singer/songwriter effort from this Irish artist I think we will be hearing a lot more of. He recorded this by himself over 5 days in a cottage by the sea. Fans of Bon Iver + Iron &a... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Sarabeth Tucek "Get Well Soon" | |
| Amplifier Weight. A Factor? Ckoffend- Me thinks you are way off on that. My Berkeley Alpha DAC can be picked up in one hand, carefully, and sounds fine enough that I do not want for another (rare). Having said that, my amp weighs 180lbs and I hate that about it. I'm in the p... |
