| New reissue of Exile on Main Street What version do I have? I've lost the inserts (doh!) and have only the disk. It shows: Virgin and 1972. Is this the '94 Ludwig remaster (holding out hope)? | |
| What's your best audio "find" Auricle Audio "Encore!" Kapton ICs. Best find for me because they are so affordable, with lengthy trial period, and better sound (IMO) than much more expensive cables. Plus, Joe was excellent at replying to my needs and great to work with.http://a... | |
| Sub Question OP - I agree with your friend. When you properly set up a sub (preferrably two) it will not be noticeable until you turn it off. That is how things should, and can work out for you. I'd get one (or two) and an SPL meter and sub freq. tracks to pla... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Shakey - I do not see (hear) it as a matter of "better than", but just different. I really like the sound of the Defs and Essence, though never liked the Druids. Heard the Soul and don't like that either. No surprise since its sound seems to me to... | |
| Any smooth jazz fans out there? I have several JVC Jazz Festival CDs if anyone would like them, no charge: 1990, 1995, 1996, 1998. All different artists, in perfect condition with front inserts. Don't believe these were ever sold anywhere. | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! KISS ... oy, what crap (IMO). | |
| Van Alstine SS vs. McCormack DNA amps Gra3 - Fan boy? Very presumptuous of you. Just giving my experience. True, my experiences are not exactly as OP requested, but are related since I owned a current AVA product, and also in response to your post about AVA build quality and service. ... | |
| Does Newly Soldered Cables Require Run-In? Ditto, but after a couple of weeks if sound is still worse than before you had them reterminated the issue could be poor soldering job or moving to banana plugs from what you had before (spades? bare?). From reading opinions (unreliable) it seems ... | |
| Salk Speakers - Opinions & Advice? HT3s - Bold, accurate, dynamic. Amazing sound when playing well recorded material. More neutral than cool IMO. | |
| Van Alstine SS vs. McCormack DNA amps I've owned AVA Fet Valve Ultra 550 and it was a very good amp: sounded great; very powerful; built very well; and extraordinary customer service.Gra3: "MUCH better build quality". Were you speaking strictly about more expensive/exotic parts or did... | |
| options for highly compressed CDs? Tubes (EL34) + room treatment (if too lively or have any slap echo, and at least treat first reflection points) + Cardas Cross/ Golden Cross cables + baffle edge anti-diffraction device (as sold by Jim Goulding) + CD treatment (such as Le Art du S... | |
| Jimi Hendrix- Valley's of Neptune I think the music is good to great (though I could live without "Sunshine"), Jimi's playing is superb, tracks are pretty loose and unpolished, especially some of his vocals, but this does not really detract from its quality IMO, and the sonics are... | |
| Which artists' music do you buy without audition Ever since I could sample on line, nobody. Not even my favorite artists, regardless of reviews. If I cannot sample it, I don't buy it. | |
| More female vocals Cecilia Bartoli: "Maria"; "The Impatient Lover: Italian Songs"Tierney Sutton: "Blue in Green"; "Desire"Kelly Flint, but only during her stint with Dave's True Story: "Sex Without Bodies"; "Nature" | |
| The many musical faces of Mr. Miles Davis? I enjoy many of Miles' musical faces fairly equally, up to Bitches Brew. Though if I was forced to pick a favorite album it would have to be Kind of Blue.A brilliant and talented artist. Not just his playing, but the whole package: playing, sensib... |
