| Cool it! Do you enjoy your music even with a window air conditioner going? Or do all of you have central air? | |
| VTL S-200 Tube recommendations I thought the VTL was a wonderful amp but I bought as a demo. When I called them with a question Bea was extremely unpleasant. It got to the point where I refused to call them. I've bought other product as demos or used where the company was extre... | |
| Why go out??? My favorite movie experiences were the great NY midtown palaces in the 70s. They occasionally showed 70mm prints with 6 channel stereo which pinned you to the back wall of the theater. And there was the time Radio City showed a gorgeous Technicolo... | |
| Best Sounding Bruckner Recordings How is the audience noise on the Furtwangler Music and Arts? At times they all seem to be suffering from influenza. | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! What an odd thing to say. Do super expensive cars give car collectors a bad name? Do super expensive breeds give show pet owners a bad name? My superscout master sounds spectacular with a great cartridge. I happen to find the bling attractive, the... | |
| Can you put a Krell in an apartment? In terms of size and weight why would you even want this in a small apartment especially if at some point you want to change things around?I honestly wish I had the space for something like this but you might see it turn into a major headache phys... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados For pure joy on Vanguard the Eugene List The World of Louis Moreau Gottschalk along with Grand Tarantelle with Nibley and A Night in the Tropics with Abravanal is a must have. Less weighty but it will make you very happy. | |
| Most annoying song, period. Blowing in the WindFar too many catholic folk masses as a boy. Michael Row Your Boat Ashore and Kumbaya get special mentions. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Well I loved the 350.8 but it was too large for my room. Quite the beast. Very big and heavy. No way will it go into a rack. Or at least I can't imagine it would. Needs space and runs very hot. If I had a large spacious living room I would have ke... | |
| Favorite cover? Carpenters' Ticket to Ride (as a kid I hated them. What can I say? Tastes change. Rarely, but they do.)Surprised nobody has mentioned this along with Superstar. 5th Dimension's Never My Love. That was quite an unexpected wow. | |
| The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig? Great thread. I too love the guy satisfyingly putting his finger on it claiming it as a Samsung and then his zinger of an exit line. It was too good to be offended by.Mine a friend listening to an obc which we had listened to since we were kids an... | |
| High End is Dead? 'If this statement hits too close to home then you might consider getting up out of your specially crafted chair that is both comfortable and yet not so absorptive as to damage the soundstage of that 1958 recording bootlegged out of that acoustica... | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps When you're in a small city apartment you are sometimes moving things around and cleaning(dust dust dust) you've got this humungous thing just sitting there. No matter how splendid it sounds it's just plain awkward. I remember when somebody asked ... | |
| My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon The dealers who post here for the most part have an educated appreciative light touch which they use conservatively.The elephant in the room is the one who always puts the heavy heavy hand on the wrong note. A number of times I've turned to a thre... | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? I had a 350.8 so I'll address the heat issue. I found it surprisingly warm to the touch. But it did not heat the room.I would have loved to have kept it but it was just too large for my small apartment.As it is so small I am very sensitive to heat... |
