| New Amp = New Speakers (Again) Hey, it's only money. 😥😁 | |
| Which Subwoofer would you choose? JL e110. | |
| MQA•Foolish New Algorithm? Vote! Although the United Federation of Planets has done something similar with its transporters, I have little confidence that the same is possible with reassembling musical matter. | |
| CD Player Won't Read One CD Only @jafant ... Sorry, but I have no duplicates or spares. If you want really good GD '74, I recommend the GD Movie Soundtrack ... 5 discs of great performances (except of course for Donna), for about $30 on Amazon. | |
| What makes a speaker sound great at low volume? Crossovers are the most ignored, but most important consideration, IMHO. I recently went through the same process you’re going through now. I ended up with the 2 way Joseph Audio Pulsars, which provide everything I need ... great crossover (a Moda... | |
| CD Player Won't Read One CD Only @jafant ... My favorite period is GD ’71-74. The only downside is that they had Donna during some of that period ... the band needed her like Jerry needed more sugar in his diet. The new PNW discs are very cool. However, I bought the 3 CD sampler ... | |
| CD Player Won't Read One CD Only UPDATE ...IT WORKED!!!!! Burned the screwed up disc to a CD-R and it plays like a charm. Many thanks to all for their suggestions and comments. A special "thanks a bunch" to jafant and elizabeth for the burning idea and the cogent explanation abo... | |
| CD Player Won't Read One CD Only @elizabeth ... Thanks. My thoughts, exactly. | |
| CD Player Won't Read One CD Only @rar1 ... After some research, I'm concerned that a lens cleaner will do more harm than good, particularly to the MF itself. I'm gonna try the suggestion of burning a copy of the offending CD and then playing it in the MF. If that works, then miss... | |
| CD Player Won't Read One CD Only @jafant ... Good idea! Thanks. Although, if it were a mfg defect, I don't think it would have worked in the car and the computer. | |
| CD Player Won't Read One CD Only @jafant ... the other GD HDCD encoded discs play just fine. It's just this one disc that's the problem, AND it's got a great version of "Big Railroad Blues" from '71 for Heaven's sake. Geeze, I can't catch a break. | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Just to chime in here ... there is a "house sound" that should be considered in comparing speakers. I think in the long run, that's the major criterion on which to focus. I've heard most all of the Josephs, and the house sound for them is a bit on... | |
| How To Field Questions About Your Audiophile Lifestyle... "It isn’t about snobbery. Years ago, I was like you. Wanting to tell the world how wonderful a good stereo system can sound. How relaxing and enjoyable to listen to your favorite music in High Fidelity. After a while, you get a little introverted ... | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense I agree that speakers are the place to spend most of your money. I think most people look at tweaks because they can do "something" to try and help their system, usually without spending a ridiculous amount of dough. | |
| How To Field Questions About Your Audiophile Lifestyle... I’m too old to tolerate that crap. I usually say ... "If you don’t know or can’t figure it out, then I’m not gonna tell ya until you're much older." Seems to work everytime and makes the questioner feel pretty stupid ... just the way I like it. |
