| Any Lambchop fans here? recommend an album plz. Thanks J. And I concur: "Damaged" is excellent. | |
| Any Lambchop fans here? recommend an album plz. Along with, "Is a Woman", I also have "Treasure Chest of the Enemy". Kurt Wagner is one sick puppy (I mean that in a good way). My favorite cut is, "Kurt Wagner's Heart Attack". I heard, "Aw C'mon", and, "No, You C'mon". Again, good stuff, though ... | |
| Personal amp evolution THANK YOU Mr. Frank Van Alstine ...1. Kenwood receiver - served me well (I thought at the time) for many years.2. Opera Consonance a120 Hybrid Integrated - my first foray into hi-end. Thank you Mr. Stephen Harris (playhouseaudio.com) for your kind... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Gawdbless - Huh? My point is that well recorded/engineered material is so much MORE enjoyable as my system improved, that the poor recorded/engineered material became less so because thanks to my quality system I know (or can imagine) how much mor... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? There is no such thing as a bad recording.Oy vey. The BETTER my system gets, the more recordings I'm discovering as bad. | |
| VR 2's, audes blues or eminent tecnology lft viii After auditioning the VR2's and the Audes Blues back-to-back, it was clear to me that the VR2's sounded less distorted. I liked the clarity of the VR2's over the Audes Blues, especially while listening to jazz, vocals, and acoustic music. The Aude... | |
| Pre for TAD-60 Bud,No prob. No, I am not affiliated with Mapletree Audio in any way. I am just so danged impressed with the quality of my preamp from Dr. Peppard that I could spit! And only $650 new!? Actually, mine was $675 because a slight upgrade to another p... | |
| Pre for TAD-60 After receiving my Linestage 2A SE preamp from Dr. Lloyd Peppard (www.mapletreeaudio.com) I am finally jumping off of the audio merry-go-round. This preamp uses octal-based tubes, has a separate power supply, is wired point-to-point, and you can s... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Aktchi,I understand your interest in comparing the HT3s to Tyler, Silverline, etc., as those are presumably in a class higher than most speakers I have heard. Unfortuntely I have not had the opportunity to hear any of them. I would love to go to o... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Aktchi,Comparisons were of some speakers past. I admit that the HT3s were nearly the most expensive speakers I've heard. The others: Audes Blues; Tannoy Eyris DC-3; Vandersteen 2ce; Von Schweikert VR-2; Zu Druid; Vienna Acoustic Beethoven Baby Gra... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? An earlier post declared the best speaker was, "no speaker. it's ive music." I used to agree, typos aside. That is, until this last weekend. I went to Jim Salk's house to audition a pair of his Veracity HT3s. After listening for a bit, I came to t... | |
| Vandersteen 2ce sigs? Beginner needs guidance. I mentioned the VR-2s, but used, of course. Such as: http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrfull&1155740641 | |
| SUBWOOFER ADVICE NEEDED IMO the best sub on the market (within reasonable cost) is the ACI Titan. I auditioned REL, Martin-Logan, Polk, B&W, and more whose names escape me (sorry). But none sounded more musical than the Titan. And it also has satisfying HT-type power... | |
| Vandersteen 2ce sigs? Beginner needs guidance. I auditioned a pair of 2ce's and absolutely did NOT like them at all for music other than acoustic or jazz. Classic rock, electric blues, Radiohead sounded weak IMO. I auditioned many speakers at $1K - $2K and struggled to find any which fulfilled... | |
| Eastern Electric Mini Max vs AE-3 DJH preamps If you really need that much power and would like an awesome SS amp, try Frank Van Alstine's OmegaStar 440 EX (220 wpc - $1499). Seriously. And if you decide you don't like it within 30 days you can return it for a full refund, less shipping ($38)... |
