| Which CD with Volume control up to $3500 I own the Opera Audio Consonance Reference 2.2 and am very pleased with its build, sound, and looks. These are available on A'gon used for <= $1K, making it an awesome bang for your buck. However, I listen to most of my music (jazz, acoustic, v... | |
| Bryston B60 For CDP I'd also check out the Opera Audio Consonance 120 if you want new, or the Consonance Reference 2.2 if you don't mind used. I have the Reference 2.2 and am very pleased with its build and sound. | |
| recomended musical sub for 2 channel audio ACI Titan for sure. IMO, it is the most musical of all subs I've heard: Rel, Martin Logan, Klipsch, B&W, Sunfire Jr., Polk. It is also the best looking and most versatile: continuously variable phase and cross-over. And if you don't like it yo... | |
| Speaker recommendations please I have a pair of EgglestonWorks Fontaines and love them. Deatailed, smooth, dreamy, responsive, superb bass quality, disappearing speakers. Pardon my morbidity, but if I knew I was eight minutes and 11 seconds from death, I'd insert Cannonball Add... | |
| cayin cdt 17a vs. consonance cd 2.2 I have not heard the Cayin but I have the Cons Ref 2.2 and I love it. It offers both balanced and unbalanced (tube) output, like the Cayin. Some music I use one, some the other - very versatile, though for detailed music I prefer the balanced. The... | |
| Good workout music for baby boomers One more excellent jump-starter: Detroit Cobras, "Mink, Rat, or Rabbit". If this doesn't get your feets movin', you dead. | |
| Good workout music for baby boomers Hello. My name is Dan. And I am a Boomer (just had my 50th last year). My favorite motivating CD as of late has been Motorhead, "Ace of Spades". To get my blood coarsing in double-time I also like Reverend Horton Heat, "Holy Roller", The Twistin' ... | |
| The subjectivity of speaker quality My wife is dumbfounded at how particular I am about the quality of my audio and how much time I spend in the hobby. She says, "Why the hell are you so engrossed in your music and system, when I KNOW you're deaf as a rock ... You never half of what... | |
| Newbie looking for system suggestions Were I starting out today fresh, I'd concentrate on investigating and auditioning U.S. built gear by well/semi-well established companies who sell only/mostly through the net and have lower overhead costs than blitzkrieg-advertised, mass-produced,... | |
| Where does your user name come from? My favorite kind of live performances are rock-a-billy bands (e.g., Twistin' Tarantulas, Lee Rocker, The Paladins, Frantic Flatops, Belmont Playboys, Rev. Horton Heat, etc.) Their performances are consistently: energetic, honest, wild, rough, sill... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? I doubt I am typical, but here goes:1. '93 Ford F250 V10 pickup. Why with gas > $2/gal? Think Oliver and Lisa Douglas.2. '93 Ford F250 V10 pickup. Why? Wife + horses = broke.3. Harley Davidson Fat Boy with a custom license plate which reads, "R... | |

| Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why? Normally I don't want to hear the bass player, just notice if he's gone. But there are exceptions:1. Scott LaFaro - because he is the greatest, most musical, most expressive, most talented player there ever was.2. Thomas Yearsley (formerly with Th... | |
| Are Zu Druids really good HE speakers? Miklorsmith,No tubes. All solid state gear. Maybe that was the problem. | |
| Are Zu Druids really good HE speakers? Tvad,Yikes! Good point. No harm intended toward unamed audio bud. I (me, I) just didn't get it. Perhaps I was experiencing an abnormally earwaxey kind of day. Yeah, that's it. |
