| Luxman M-600A "Oh, you're saying someone can stroke a dealer and glean all the info they can, then go buy online..."Where did you get that? What he stated is that thru this site he has become aware of products not available at his location and that others may h... | |
| If I like St. Germain I'll like...... I'm enjoying Thievery Corporation but I wouldn't put them (pure trip-hop) in the same category as St. Germain. I love Cinematic Orchestra and will check out some of the other recommendations. | |
| If I like St. Germain I'll like...... Guys: thanks for the heads up with Cinematic Orchestra. I picked up Motion the other day and love it. Also interested in band called Skalpel. Anyone heard? | |
| Arm for SOTA? Stanwal: You may want to check out the responses to my thread "Best Arm for SOTA under $1000". In addition to the other suggestions, the Origin arms were also recommended. Good Luck. | |
| Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett And then there's the grunting :)...Like a lot of artists, I just wonder if he's being a little too prolific with releases. I'm fond of the earlier stuff: Solo COncerts (Bremen - Lausanne - sp?), Koln Concert, Eyes of the Heart, etc.. His specialty... | |
| Personal speaker evolution Ohm Model H's in 1980. Then changed to Nestorovic type 5's 1983. Now using Hales T8's, puchased in 2000. If the economy ever straightens out I will be looking at Verity Sarastro, YG Kipod, Vandersteen Model 7's, and a few others to put on my short... | |
| The best acoustic guitar recordings?? Jorma Kaukonen: "Too Hot to Handle" | |
| Favourite ECM Titles Maybe this thread should be renamed "the genius of Manfred Eicher" as for a while, he produced all albums under this label. Eicher is a genius for getting the most out of an artist. I agree with the previous comments with respect to Pat Metheny. I... | |
| Anybody heard Stereoknight magnetic preamp? Agree with Maril555. My initial impressions of the website and product line are favorable but I'm somewhat dismayed that I have to contact a dealer to find out the pricing.Can anyone ballpark what the active preamp would go for? | |
| Time to move on from my old SOTA ? I have the Star and while most would wax enthusiastically about its sonic merits, I would, if given the chance financially, replace it with a suspensionless table. Quite frankly, I never really found the vacuum to be an asset and more of a pain in... | |
| The great Soupy Sales died I was shocked to hear the MIT college radio station (WMBR Cambridge) playing "pie in the face" this morning. It's hard to believe that 20 YO college kids would even know who Soupy was. Guess he left a mark on future generations.... | |
| Rolling Stones "Sticky Fingers" Remasters The MSFL (LP) version was nothing short of phenomenal. I lost my copy in a move and haven't been the same since. If you can find a copy on Ebay (or here) grabit. You will love it. | |
| Cary MB CAD 500 amp "Perhaps the two-channel audiophile wasn't convinced that a primarily tube manufacturer could make a good solid-state amp (which would have been a mistake)...."Conrad Johnson I believe may have gone thru a similar situation with the CJ Premier 350... | |
| How would you compare Ayre to Parasound? I've had a V-5xe in my system for about 5 years now and I too think the magic is missing (particularly in the lower region) however I'm reserving judgement until I can run in balanced mode. I've read in a few threads here that the Ayre should real... | |
| Why manufactures don´t burn in their amps and ... With all due respect to the tangential discussions above, tje raises an interesting point: Why after paying a phenomenal amount of $ is it incumbent upon the purchaser to perform the break-in? I would think it makes more sense to have this done at... |
