| Determining reflection points I don't really have any corners to speak of, and since my room is large enough I've been told off-line by a knowledgable person that I don't have typical small-room bass issues, but I do have an 8' free standing wall about 3' behind my head I thin... | |
| Freak Me Out Check out Material's "Hallucination Engine" CD - I'd describe it as Mid-Eastern Ambient Space Funk. Some of the players: Bill Laswell (producer as well), Boosty Collins, Sly Dunbar, Wayne Shorter, Bernie Worrell. Excellent freak out stuff. | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase No, but I do an excessive amount of preparation for how and what I will tell her. Get all of the possible retorts covered and reasons/methods to overcome them - sort of like computer software game theory. I am not opposed to attempts of guilting h... | |
| Determining reflection points Thank you Mrjstark. That makes it easier.And thank you Duke. That may make it even easier. As always Duke, you rock! | |
| Black Gospel With Good Sound I know you asked for well recorded, but James Cleveland's "Hallelujah: A Collection of His Finest Recordings" is too good to ignore. The sound may not be crystal clear, but the message of the Holy Spirit easily shines through to enormous satisfact... | |
| Black Gospel With Good Sound Take 6 (1988) - Warning: All acapella, but fabulous none the less. | |
| worst 'long-lived' band I second Jimmy Buffet. At least most of the bands previously mentioned were, at one time, good. But Buffet? Crappy from day one and STILL crappy. I think that puts them at number one worst. | |
| Do tubes "burn in"? My concern was not that after burn in the tubes would sound the same. I was just seeing if I liked the 12SX7's at all. They sounded different than the 12SN7's, as expected, but I did not expect them to have such poor clarity, especially noticable ... | |
| Phillip Glass Fans Thanks Elizabeth for the Aguas da Amazonia recommendation. I just picked it up and it is wonderful! | |
| Esotar T-330D Tweeter $530 used!? Yikes is right. I'd better run over to my volume knob and scale it back some right now. But I swear, they're worth it. | |
| Esotar T-330D Tweeter Those are what I have in my Fontaines ... and they are awesome. Auditioning other speakers has made me realize that, for me, what breaks the deal and makes me keep my Fontaines over all others is the tweeter. It is the key which consistently creat... | |
| Seeking best digital amp for $2000 Check out the NuForce web site. You can sign up to get a weekend audition of their amps for only $1 - this includes shipping!! I think they begin sending these out next month. Not sure if they'll be coming from "preferred" dealers or directly from... | |
| Vandersteen 5a or Eggleston Andra II I agree with TVAD.I have the Fontaines (the top 3/4 of the Andras) and have come to a conclusion in my search for a full-range speaker, as I audition more and more speakers I always end up preferring the overall presentation of the Fontaines over ... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? "Love Stinks", J. Geils | |
| Warmest speaker? If by warm you mean: non-fatiguing, non-laser beaming, forgiving (without losing music detail), plays everything exceedingly well including not-so-well recorded music (even rock-and-roll), then I'd say without a doubt the Daedalus DA-1s. |
