| Terrible/Inappopriate songs ... "My Wife", Who's Next - great call! An otherwise perfect rock album IMO. | |
| Harmonic Technology Interconnects Lissnr - Seemed to my ears and system that all copper was the way to go. Best I found under $1200 was WyWires. Clean, clear, open, proper tones. Cymbals sound like wood on brass instead of metal on metal. Very nice. R. Levi thinks they're the best... | |
| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? Ides of March, "Vehicle", 1970. | |
| Chicks With Guitars Rory Block (the best female guitarist alive today IMO) for acoustic, and Sue Foley for electric are my favs! | |
| Harmonic Technology Interconnects IME the Magic II were an awakening to higher end (for me) cables. Enlightening proof to me that cables can improve the sound of a system over less expensive ones. I liked their openness and clarity. And they floated an image of high frequencies li... | |
| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? Audiofeil - Doh! Sorry, my bad. My post was actually meant for Cdc. Sorry for the error. | |
| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? Audiofeil - Had the OP stated only, "List your favorite", I'd agree with you. But s/he didn't. S/He also stated, "what characteristics made it better than anything else?". This encourages folks into a discussion about their fav owned speaker, exch... | |
| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? My Eggy "Almost Andras", the Fontaines. Same construction as the Andras, sans 12" woofs. But I do have a pair of 12" self-powered woofs in the room, so I like to think of them as disembodied Andras. I would really like to get an Andra owner's pers... | |
| Terrible/Inappopriate songs ... Hodu - good call! Hated that song since the first time I heard it. Once clear advantage of CD vs. LP, at least we can burn a copy without that clinker. | |
| Terrible/Inappopriate songs ... "Inappropriate" was not a good word to use. I meant "does not fit" with the rest of the release. Another one for me is Michelle Shocked, "Black Widow", on her Short Sharp Shocked release. DELETE! | |
| Terrible/Inappopriate songs ... Audiofeil - Right on! Though the singing is still good. A wonderful LP, but for that lousy song which fits better on a Sesame Street episode. Good call. | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Tpreaves - I understand your point, and at times it can be difficult to not be fooled by one's own conscience, but since I paid $0.00 for the ICs (retail $849 for standard four foot length pair, and mine are 12 foot pair so would have been much mo... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System My ICs between pre and amps cost more than my pre, which is a wonderful piece in itself. Never in my wildest dreams did I foresee that coming. But I just ignored common sense and committed to the best sounding ICs for me in my system. And am glad ... | |
| Is preamp remote volume a deal breaker for you? No pre remote so I use CDP remote PAUSE in place of remote pre mute button. I don't want the music to proceed without hearing it anyway. So PAUSE works better for me than a mute button. | |
| Is preamp remote volume a deal breaker for you? Nope. Best audio quality was my goal when shopping. If that included a remote, then great. If not, then I didn't care. Ended up with one which does not have a remote control and I've adjusted to it just fine. Have had it for years. I spin CDs, one... |
