| Most achingly-beautiful music Beethoven .... piano sonatas, 2nd movement of 5th symphony.Mozart requiem. Some parts of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake are very moving.Also, there's AC/DC "Rock & Roll Damnation" from the classic Powerage album.One of these is a facetious answer, ca... | |
| Hiss, hum bad for speakers? I too have a REL sub, but no hiss or hum problems. The REL-supplied high level cable is not shielded, but this should not be a problem since speaker level voltages are going down it, and these should not be susceptible to RFI.Does the hiss / hum g... | |
| I don't remember much, but I remember...... .... and his friends in toytown (specifically Dennis the Dachshund). However since I was about 5 years old, and since this LP was purchased on my behalf perhaps it doesn't count. I've still got it. Not really audiophile stuff, but plenty of good m... | |

| best budget integrated amp for rock n roll music? A couple of used suggestions :1. Mission/Cyrus 2 with optional PSX power supply. I had one of these in England and it was extraordinarily powerful with real driving bass. Detail is not sacrificed, though. Cyrus 3 with PSX is equally good but more ... | |
| Best speakers for my system/taste/budget? Spica Tc-60 (I own Angelus and the imaging is excellent).Epos ES-11 (older version of M12) another good imager.The venerable ls3/5 minimonitor is a good apartment spkr. I'm not sure of the used price in the US.Assuming you stretch to a good standm... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Don't read the magazines. It's a simple as that. Magazine reviews often grossly exagerate (or fabricate) the differences between audio components, making you believe that your 5 year old equipment is obsolete. It's nonsense. (Not that I blame them... |
