| Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound. Fyi, you can definitely get a killer tube amp (used) for $1000-1500. Don’t let anybody tell you can’t. You just need to do some research and be resourceful. You also need to be patient! These amps will all show up from time to time somewhere on ... | |
| Do you care about car audio? MAN! Remind me never to drive with most of you! Road noise sucks!To me, one of the greatest joys of living in the modern world is driving and listening to music. Loud! I'd much rather have a hot car stereo than a hot home stereo, but luckily I'... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? Of the concerts I would go back and see again; The absolute top of the list is Emerson, Lake and Palmer’s Brain Salad Surgery Tour circa 1973 or 74, I believe. That flat out top’s every show I have ever seen. Also would like to see Deep Purple’s M... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Ok, I’m going to give you all the greatest most obscure band almost in history that was unbelievable! No one here has mentioned them so far, so here goes. And the answer is....Jade Warrior! The absolute best album of theirs imho is Kites. Then fo... | |
| is this the greatest live band of all time? Absolutely love Floyd, Zeppelin, Tull, Yes live amongst many more, but for me ELP Brain Salad Surgery tour left everything in the dust.+1 for J. Geils Band Live, Full House IS the best pure rock'n'roll album of all time. | |
| Best CD player under $2000 I concur with many of the above replies, but I would throw a marker in for the recommendation of any of the Oppo's ending in a 5. With one big BUT (no pun intended), send it to Ric Shultz at EVS and let him do his magic to it. He is an artist! | |
| IKEA launches modular speaker line - watch out Wilson, Magico... Hey, if the speakers are too bright all you have to do is lower the wattage of the bulbs. | |
| Most annoying song, period. "My Charona"! I don’t even want to remember the name of that band. That one made me want to give up listening to the radio.Also, "Take it to the Limit" by the Eagles. God, did they take that to the limit of my my patience.I very much agree with th... | |
| Abbey Road 50th Anniversary I listened to the 50th version this weekend at a friends house and I had the same impression about the bass being too overwhelming, though I didn’t think it was the recording because my friend didn’t have a great stereo and his new speakers were s... | |
| Best Tubes on Market today? If I was trying to solve a noise problem in my amp that I thought was coming from the tubes, I would not think for a minute that I should run out and spend hundreds/thousands of dollars on vintage tubes to solve the problem. I would first want to ... | |
| Integrated tube amp under $1000 / $2000 +1 on the Audio Research VSI-55 | |
| Help looking for dynamic warm romantic sound with detail I agree 100% with what you're plan (tube amp, SS pre) to get a warm sound. I say to keep it simple, get the tube amp before you do anything. It should make a huge difference! Then start changing other items. But remember that you're sound is o... | |
| Recommendation for higher power tube amp Have you considered running a powered sub and limiting the signal to the Thiels? I have the Thiel PCS speakers, which are basically the top end of the 2.3/2.4's, with a powered-Sub, all driven by an ARC VS-55 (puts out about 45-watts a side) tha... | |
| Bookshelf Recommendations I've been wishing I had a good friend that was looking for a pair of bookshelf speakers so that I could turn them on to these! There is a listing in the other "audio mart in the US" (hint) for a pair of Thiel PCS bookshelf speakers. These speake... | |
| Newbie needs help on Audio Research and DynAudio Quality I'm a little surprised no one has mentions the Rega CD Player. You could have the best equipment in the world strung together and if the source component isn't on the same level it'll just sound like a common stereo. I suggest that you not rule ... |
