| Austrailian rock and roll Yeah, +1 for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds! Nocturama & The Boatman's Call are both standout LPs for me. Cheers,Spencer | |
| What are the best subwoofers to use with Magnepan 20.1s? Recently heard a friend's 20.7s with Rel subs; outstanding. He runs the Maggies full range and adds the Rels below 80hz. He works for one of the world's top orchestras and the combo makes him & his guests very happy. I am a JL fan, but haven't... | |
| ( Vinyl) Your latest purchase and where? Leonard Cohen - Recent Songs PromoParliament/Funkadelic - Best of Early RecordingsFrom Jupiter Records, Wilmington, DE Right around the corner and as good as Princeton Record Exchange in every way! Cheers,Spencer | |
| Do female audiophiles exist @mewsickbuff You would think so, but I've run into a few guys who can't even listen to a whole song. All they want to do is play test tracks for 30 seconds and A/B test until the cows come home. The best way to shut them up is to ask them what new... | |
| Audio Forums, On-line Store Fronts, and the Art-of-Deception watts, it's kinda weak to raise the issue and not name names so that everyone knows. FWIW, I agree with your sentiment and regularly get annoyed here with many dealers & manufacturers posting here without disclosure. If their products are legi... | |
| DO I SELL OR DO I KEEP How often do you expect to take the take time to sit in the sweet spot and listen to music? How often do you listen to music without doing anything except listening to the music? Cheers,Spencer | |
| Best significant upgrade? Dac? Preamp? @c_s Your comments echo my experiences after moving to a Schiit Gungnir Multibit DAC. I also found that moving from a MacMini as music server to a dedicated audio streamer/renderer (in my case Sonore microRendu) adds another big improvement. Digit... | |
| Do female audiophiles exist @mewsickbuff Welcome and please stick around. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Kate Bush The kick inside a masterpiece. Kate is great. For me, Lionheart is always the LP that goes on first when I get that itch. The original vinyl releases all sound decent.When she started releasing new albums over the last few years I was so looking forward to them, but nothing sin... | |
| VPI TNT Turntables @phoenixengr Although your comments are appreciated by some including me, they will be far better appreciated if you identify yourself in every post by signing as a party with a commercial interest. It comes off pretty lame to read a string of po... | |
| Best significant upgrade? Dac? Preamp? To paraphrase Bill Clinton, "It's the room, stupid". If you love your speakers, working on room acoustics & setup will give you the most dramatic improvement. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Music Lovers Speaker vs. Audiophile Speaker @Lowrider57 and I are thinking along the same lines. When most posters say "musical speaker" they mean a design that aspires to reproduce the fabric of the musical whole while the "audiophile speaker" tends to allow one to focus attention on empha... | |
| When spending less than $5,000 how much of a guide is price? Reference 3A has a very long standing reputation for fine monitors in particular. Their Veena & Grand Veena floorstanders also are beloved by many. Seen some used ones here regularly probably because they can be a little light on the bottom en... | |
| Austrailian rock and roll Courtney Barnett is the best new artist out of Australia that I've heard in years. She's kinda exploding within alt/college radio and similar channels. Her 2 most recent albums are both worth checking out. The last one made many best of '15 lists.... | |
| Solid state amp to replace my Audio Research Ref 150 amp I've had good success driving Nola Viper Ref IIIs with Lamm hybrid amps. Synergy is tremendous. Heat is not as bad as when I had BAT VK150SEs, but if you leave them on, they will drive up the electric bill! If you want to see the system, it's post... |
