| New Lyra Delos wheres the bass? It took about 50 hours before my Delos started being true to itself. It got incrementally better after 50 hours. | |
| Upgrading a Scout II, Best bang for the buck?? I agree with Cerrot that the periphery ring is a worthwhile upgrade. | |
| Does anyone like country I used to say with a snobbish attitude, I listen to all kinds of music, except country music. I don't say that anymore. Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Johnny Cash, old Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn and George Jones are as good... | |
| Speakers for bad rock recordings Classic vintage speakers from the 70s (JBL, Advent, KLH to name a few) tend to tame bad recordings without sucking the life out of them. I actually prefer to listen to poor-to-mediocre sounding classic rock and soul records on my modest vintage sy... | |
| Insert for 45 RPM singles The TD 160 should have a metal "doughnut" around the spindle, which you pull out and turn upside to use as the 45 adapter. If your table is missing this piece, eBay is your best bet for a replacement. | |

| Waltz for Debby-Bill Evans Trio IMO nothing beats Kenny Burrell's "Midnight Blue" for "smooth late night jazz offerings." | |
| Good match preamp for Pass labs 250.5 I once emailed Nelson Pass a question about matching tube preamps with the X-series amps. He reported that customers had good results with a wide range of preamps. The Audible Illusion preamps were the only ones that seemed to be a problematic mat... | |

| Going over to the Dark Side? Unless you plan on using your hard drive as your main source, it makes sense to copy all your music in AAC format for all the reasons you mentioned. | |
| Hallelujah by Lenard Cohen Oops! It's not on "Paris 1919". Got it confused with "Andalucia". | |
| Hallelujah by Lenard Cohen The John Cale version of "Hallelujah" is on his album "Paris 1919" | |
| Prologue 2 Integrated Work Well With Axiom M80Tis? The Primaluna Prologue 2 should work fine with the Axioms. I'm using the P2 to drive speakers with similar specs (90dB sensitivity, 4 ohm impedance with fairly flat impedance curve). I was also ambivalent about buying a Chinese made amp, but more ... |
