| Why aren't there any used Jolida JD9 on the market I was shopping for a used JD9mk2 (I used to have a JD9, but sold it a while ago). During my search, I saw the original version for sale at spearitsound.com (in their used/demo section, for only $379). I have no affiliation with them (and, I don't ... | |
| heavy metal Hey Fujindemon... do you post on theobelisk or the old (now defunct) stonerrock.com? You listed most of the big bands from the genre.As for The Sword... they were a decent live band, but I thought their singer was the weak link. He was actually so... | |
| Wish List For Vinyl Pressings I wanted an album on vinyl so bad, I started a vinyl label! That was 7 or 8 years ago, but since then, it seems that the labels I like have regularly been issuing vinyl, which is nice. (Small Stone, Tee Pee, etc.)I wish they would remaster for vin... | |
| LP to CD format anyone ... I used to have Yamaha CDR (HD-1300, I think), and I thought the albums I recorded sounded better than store-bought cd's. (I did a couple a/b tests to verify.) However, I eventually gave up, because I was too lazy to do it "right". So, my cd would ... | |
| Iphone and DAC question Never heard of that site, and I didn't know this... "IOS7 will now permit exporting the digital stream".Thanks for the info! | |
| "this is the product Ohm puts out" "Have you ever seen the pics of John Strohbeen and the OHM Brooklyn facility?" I haven't seen the pics, but I've been to his place in Red Hook (I live pretty close). It looks more like a lumber/woodworking shop than anything to do with hifi. I'm s... | |
| Tone Controls can be so nice. I've been sans tone controls for years, but may try a pre with bass/treble knobs next time around. I gave up on using subs a while ago, even though I like a lot of bass... there are times (certain albums) where I wished I could tweak the bass a bi... | |
| Another "help me pick speakers" thread Mapman-I guess that makes sense about the ability to drive the speakers, although I always figured, if the speakers were not efficient, I'd just have to turn the volume up (and, as I got close to "11", it might get distorted). I haven't had much e... | |
| Another "help me pick speakers" thread My Tylers arrived today... I played the Ohms to be able to make a pretty fair comparison, and then I plugged in the Linbrooks. Wow, what a difference. Mainly in the low-end... this is exactly what I felt like I was missing with the Ohms. When I pl... | |
| What is your favorite guitar solo of all time? No question... Hendrix (Band of Gypsys II) "Hear My Train A Comin'. There are a few versions of that song floating around, but on that particular record, it used to blow me away. So much so, that I used to try and time my acid peaks with the main ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Joe-I've always found I got MORE bass with vinyl, esp. the newer, remastered stuff. I actually gave up on cd's and sold my Rega Apollo (everything sounded lifeless on that thing). I'm not sure why- maybe my phono amp is the wildcard (although, it'... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Listening to ACDC Back in Black vinyl- some songs sound a bit thin. But, Rock & Roll Ain't... sounds great. These MicroTalls are so close to being "perfect" (and, yes, I'm definitely talking about 'for the money'). I didn't think speakers for ... | |
| Another "help me pick speakers" thread Mapman-My plan is to compare them to the OHM's.Rleff-I don't think I've ever seen Merlin's for sale in NYC. I always figured they were out of my price range, anyway. | |
| Another "help me pick speakers" thread Thanks, all. I'll report back when I get them. | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? How's the playback on that Music Vault? Recording vinyl doesn't seem too difficult- my Yamaha CDR does it very well (although the interface is pretty lame). But, the actual recordings sound very close to the vinyl. And, that's not really an "audio... |
