| My wife is so uncool! mroadster, this cracks me up - yust when i'm posting about the newform speakers & the wife, ewe mention 'em in the same context! ;~) i guess it's a good sign, how do they sound? | |
| My wife is so uncool! i prolly *should* inwolve my wife more, it would be less hassle, but it usually works out ok. when i replaced my solid-state preamp w/a rogue 99, she was ecstatic! she loved it!!! well, i didn't, and when i told her i sold it, she got *really* pis... | |
| UPS insurance claim denial advice i guess it's sometimes a matter of dumb-luck - i was the recipient of damaged goods twice - once, it was obviously damaged prior to packaging, the second time, it was packed by an imbecile. incredibly, both times, ups paid the shipper. go figure..... | |
| Feelings on Napster? hi dekay, i guess yure right - some inwisible force *made* me play that johnny rivers stuff before i could cue up the buena vista social club; it was *awful*!!! ;~) | |
| Rouge M120 With 99 or 66 Preamp hi tm12, i know this is not what ya wanna hear, but i humbly suggest you try a cary slp98 - it bested my magnum-updated 99 in *all* areas. and, there's even further gains to be had w/their modified caps, which my unit doesn't have. that being said... | |
| Feelings on Napster? a few thoughts - 1st, dekay, your comments about napster & the like spelling the death of new music was *exactly* the same argument that was made when cassettes 1st came out. the reality is that the advent of the cassette *spurred* the growth ... | |
| Need a good tuner and there aren't many? agreed w/outdoor antenna - try antenna performance specialties - gives me great reception in a *very* difficult area. besides the mac tuners (their mr 67 & 71 are also nice, keep an eye peeled for a tandberg 3001, an onix bwd1 w/soap, sansui t... | |
| Any advice on CD player upgrade? hey subaruguru, here's the only info i can give ewe, it only reinforces the importance of having a good preamp: my brother-in-law compared a resolution-audio cd-55 (retail $3500), w/an alchemist nexus (retail ~$1700). preamp used was the alchemist... | |
| Who R U? hi all, i dunno how i got started in this hobby - musta been that li'l transistor radio i got for my 6th b-d, back in 1962! i played it to *death*! then, when 11, i had saved up enuff allowance & paper-route money to buy my 1st stereo - a pana... | |
| Wadia? Should You Go Direct In Or Preout sunny, this is *exactly* the experience my brother-in-law had w/a resolution audio cd55, only his preamp isn't even as upscale as the cj-14: an alchemist kraken (tho it's still nice, it's about 1/4 the price). he also found differences between thi... | |
| Sonic Frontiers, what is going on?? i was considering purchasing a sonic frontier line-3 recently (went w/something else), and all "bricks-n-mortar" dealers were willing to meet the *sell-from-home* dealer's price except one. *that* dealer actually got very nasty w/me - one more dea... | |
| Cat Stevens.... Great Artist or Wacko? hi muljo, 1st, my response has *every* place in this thread - it's *EXACTLY* what the thread topic is about! 2nd, i have nothing against iran; i have persian friends; i had muslim roomates prior to getting married. let me repeat this, so there is ... | |
| Wadia? Should You Go Direct In Or Preout if *any* digital source sounds better run directly into your amp, than thru your preamp, then you need a better preamp! if yer planning on spending money to updgrade your cd player, put it towards a better preamp - your system will sound better w/... | |
| Avantgarde Speakers hi cornfedboy. i agree they're not the *nicest* looking things i'd wanna put in my house, but that's where our opinions differ. i heard an early version of the duos, before their sub/x-over updates, and no honking here. great palpable music, from ... | |
| Cat Stevens.... Great Artist or Wacko? great artist or wacko? *yes* 1st live *pop* show i ever saw was cat stevens, back in ~'69. tea for the tillerman still gives me the willies; so does at stevens... listening to tea for the tillerman, knowing where cat's at now *really* makes it eer... |
