| Your Wish List for Reissue on Vinyl More Neil Young stuff. Neil was VERY concerned about sound quality on his lp's and it shows. Greendale is avilable on 180g and 200g but I would ike to see some of the older Lp's half mastered such as Hawkes and Doves, Comes a Time, etc..Also, some... | |
| What Guitarists Remind You Of SRV Or Hendrix? Azjake: do you know if the rumour that Hendrix was aiming to do some jam sessions with Mile Davis at the time of his death was true? we can only imagine what that would have been like... | |
| Looking for a great arm that is low maintenence Nrchy: all of the arms you have listed are excellent choices. Whatever you do, do not opt for the ET. If you breath on this arm, it will go out of alignment. With a suspended TT (which the SOTA is) which is subject to ambient humidity and temperat... | |
| What's your favorite Audiophile label, and why? Viridian, most of the early MSFL releases I have were mastered by Ricker (mastered is appropo here). In Stan we Trust... | |
| What's your favorite Audiophile label, and why? MFSL, although I am stunned that Nrchy would believe that the new releases sound better than the old. FOr my ears, nothing I have ever heard even approaches the quality of the early releases. | |
| Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why? Another vote for Dave Holland. An outstanding musician although I have to admit, I'm mildly disappointed with his latest stuff which appears more refined but less interesting. | |
| Best Neil Young Album? Curbach: Come on dude. Anyone that doesn't think the lyrical content of 'mideast vacation' on Life isn't at least amusing should get a L... | |
| Best Quality Recording On Vynil MFSL release of American Beauty by Grateful Dead. A real classic. | |
| Which Conrad Johnson pre is a step-up from PFR? I suspect that the PFR was probably the best value product ever offered by CJ. I have no doubt that the Overhang has experienced a superior product with the 16LS2 but for what price - $8000 new and $5k to $6K used on the open market? I consider my... | |
| Best Used Solid State Amp for less than $5000? Uh...4Yanx....I have a confession to make. I pulled the trigger about 6 months ago and purchased the Ayre V-5x. Guess that puts me in Bigtee camp now, doesn't it? I sent mu unit to Ayre two weeks ago to have the evolution upgrade. Funny that Bigte... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Jorma Kaukonen. A talented guitarist that has just gotten better and better.... | |
| Speaker for Threshold amp and preamp My short list:Hales T8'sVandersteen Model 5'sThiel CS6Montana's (model #?)Dunlavey model 4a'sI have heard both the Hales and the Dunlavey's. Both are excellent. The Vandersteen has been remarked as sounding similiar to the T8's. | |
| Discs you play again and again Pehare: great suggestion. The early Metheny discs are a real treat. Folk Songs on "80/81", especially the last part when Charlie Haden's bass kicks in gives me shivers every time I listen to it. Also, "New Chautauga" (sp?) is equally great. | |
| Hi rez: Led Zep and the Beatles Hope this thread isn't limitted to SACD. I have LZep 3 and 4 releases by CLassic Records and 3 is nothing short of amazing. 3 has a lot of acoustic cuts are fabulously rendered on this LP. 4 is very good as well. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Maineiac: I was wondering when someone was going to suggest the Lector. Not a universal player but does have the added benefit of playing SACD too.Is there anonye out there that can compare it to the DV-50? |
