| Tom Waits, Rain Dogs... Happy to have just found a vinyl copy of Rain Dogs. For me, the differences and points of comparison between Waits & Springsteen both make sense.You're both right. Want something good to argue about, check out Rolling Stone's new "top 100 sing... | |
| What's the Best LP You Bought in 2008 Koegz,To repeat the question, what is the best LP you've bought this year? | |
| What's the Best LP You Bought in 2008 Radioheadokplayer(Awesome moniker btw!),Tough question about the SkyBlueSky. My turntable is so much better than my cdp that I can't really judge the cd. The vinyl is quiet with great separation, deep and wide soundstage and plenty of instrumental... | |
| "D" amps, general discussion who's 1 and why? When I said "cheap" what I meant was that on a watt/$ basis compared to most tube amps, and SETs in particular, you get more power for your money with Class D amps. The point being that they can be used with a wide variety of speakers vs. SETs, a ... | |
| which tube mono blocks? The best options have been mentioned Atma-Sphere MA2, Wolcotts, big VTLs; all will be costly...Cheers,Spencer | |
| "D" amps, general discussion who's 1 and why? Really? I'd love to hear from those who've gone from SET & other tube amps to "D" amps and what they like about the change. I think it's magazine/ad generated hype.My naive opinion is that they are cheap & powerful, good for bass in a bi-a... | |
| What's the Best LP You Bought in 2008 db,Yeah, Wilco - Sky Blue Sky is a real gem. This instrumental finish to Impossible Germany is sublime. One of the most underrated bands IMO. Maybe if they get to play the Obama inauguration, the press coverage will find them some new fans. Jeff T... | |
| Wilson better than Thiels? In my heart, what you need is a turntable, but that's for another thread. Have you access to some other speaker cables to try w/your Thiels, perhaps MIT?You've got a great preamp, and amps that are often paired with Thiels, so it's tough to nail i... | |
| Long IC Cable Run Research Mogami Star Quad...made for you situation. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Wilson better than Thiels? If you can't decide, then there is no reason to do it, save your money.That aside, you need to post your entire system, and tell us what you like/dislike currently, what you hope to achieve, and your budget. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Self bias tube integrated or power amp suggestions Contact Trelja, he is the North American distributor for Consonance, and they are really great sounding, especially at their prices. | |
| Ground Loop Issue 427 Jim,Until my new tri-wire speaker cables arrive in a week or so, I can't try anything(the old speakers were sold this week), but I will try running a grounding wire from preamp to power amp chassis. I did already run a grounding wire from one amp ... | |
| Ground Loop Issue 427 Hi Ralph,Thanks for your interest. I did move the preamp over near the amps, and tried multiple different 1m cables, including the highly shielded cheapo ones from a vcr(ie with the red/white/yellow all bundled together), and the hum persists, eve... | |
| Best cover songs? Rickie Lee Jones - Marty Balin's "Comin' Back To Me"Matthew Sweet & Susannah Hoffs - BeeGees "Run To Me"Eva Cassidy - "What a Wonderful World"Sarah McLachlan - Tom Waits' "Ole 55" | |
| PC sugguestions for Atma-sphere amps and preamp After a pile of PCs on MP3, Audience was best balanced and lower priced than most of the others tried.Agree w/Rushton, Silent Source are great on Atma amps. |
