| Mono Blocks on a Budget, is it possible? Get a Crown XLS 1502. 500 + watts @ 4 ohms! $348!!! Even better would be a second one so you could biamp your Legacy's using the XLS's onboard crossover! The FUTURE of power amps has arrived!!! $348!!! | |
| Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!! +1teo_audio! The new religion is the same as the old religion - to paraphrase a song by The Who (thank you Pete Townsend!). | |
| It really comes to something when a brand as iconic as Gibson Guitars cant stay afloat! @trelja Yes I know that Gibson and Epiphone are the same (US and Asia).I have a 2005 Gibson SG and an Epi Les Paul Special! The Epi LP is really nice, despite being made in Korea! | |
| Can interconnect cables improve sound stage height, width, and depth? Absolutely not! Wire is just that - wire! IC's are simply signal conduits - they either work or don't work! They are not tone controls or equalizers! Save your money for something that really matters - like speakers! | |
| Used Korean Speakers The big Western Electric horns from the 1930's beat these by a mile! | |
| bose 501 speakers I considered adding a pair of 501's to my collection - but I already have too many vintage speakers! | |
| bose 501 speakers An interesting speaker that I heard only once back in 1975. Sounded quite impressive then! Maybe much better than the 901 (all those small drivers, ugh!). At least the 501 has a decent-sized woofer (10 inch) for bass! The two left and right angled... | |
| Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!! So, did somebody cry "Wolf"?!!! | |
| What are the best entry level integrated amps and speakers? +1 for NAD and PSB! At the price you can't go wrong! | |
| What MC cart would you use with this setup? Hana SL mc cartridge is a contender - $750! | |
| Shure to leave the phono business Back in the 70's a cheap Grado FTE ($15) always beat the Shures for sound quality and sheer musical enjoyment! Gordon Holt and Harry Pearson would agree! | |
| Wow moments while listening to vinyl records Here's an outstanding LP for 3-D sound staging: Weather Report "I Sing The Body Electric". Song: " The Unknown Soldier"!!! Also by Weather Report "Suite Nighter". Song: " Boogie Woogie Waltz"!!! These two LP's have been long-time favorites of mine! | |
| Wow moments while listening to vinyl records Forget about 180 gram vinyl! This is just a clever marketing ploy! | |
| Wow moments while listening to vinyl records Always seek out original all-analog pressings - even if a bit worn! They have that LP "magic" that I feel is lacking in digital remasters! | |
| Wow moments while listening to vinyl records Every collection needs Pink Floyd's "The Wall". As good as the US Columbia pressing is, the British EMI is even better! And I am referring only to the original all-analog pressings - not to current digital remasters! |
