| Best Frank Zappa´s Recordings You can't do that on stage anymore, vol II, Hot Rats, Roxy & Elsewhere, Overnite Sensation, Zoot Allures. 200 Motels has several good songs, but you have to wade through it to find them. Live in New York (the white album) is good but the sonic... | |
| Reaction to : Bedini-Ultra Clarifier II I have the single beam version and quit using it because I could hear/see no difference on cds/dvds. I think the difference it makes is psychological. | |
| What did you replace your DQ-10's with? Apogee Mini-Grands, with JBL 250ti's in the interim | |
| Apogee Mini Grand Questions I still own a pair of Mini-Grands and my position is somewhat betweenBinaural and Info. The stage section is fantastic; the midrangeis one of the best I have ever heard. The original workmanshipwas shoddy, and my dealer had to replace all the velc... | |
| Jeff Beck Blow by Blow The SACD is a better version than the Sony Super Bit Mapped version. It has much more depth and Soundstage. I was hoping that it would be 5.1 because Epic released it on vinyl in SQ Surround Sound during the quad craze. I still enjoy the LP the be... | |
| Larger Apogee's: Do they beam ? I have the Apogee Mini-grandes (Stages with attached subwoofers), and there is both a vertical and horizontal sweet spot. There is a severe venetian blind effect when you stand up even from 12 feet away, and the horizontal sweet spot is not quite ... | |
| George Lucas using B&W Nautilus 802 in his studio. I thought they were 'droids for Episode 3 instead of 802s | |
| Choices: Anthem AVM-20 or Intergra Research RDC-7? Audioreview.com has a lot of reviews on the Integra Research. I bought one a couple of months ago and love it. It replaced a Lexicon MC-1 and has many more features and sounds better thatn the MC-1 Stereo Guide to Home Theater and the Perfect Visi... | |
| Video Sheilding - required for Projection HDTV's?? Yes, shielding is needed if the magnetic field of the speakers is near the floor and the speakers are against the TV. I have had 2 different RPTVs, and both are severely impacted by my Apogee mini-grands: colors go haywire and it looks like the ma... | |
| JBL 250TI Limited Edition, Classic and Jubilee I have a pair of the regular JBL 250ti speakers in my bedroom from the mid 80s, but am not familiar with the classic or Jubilee. I went to the JBL website, and the Classic and Jubilee were not listed, In the late 80s I saw a pair of the 250tis in ... | |
| Mark Levinson in Lexus? There appear to be many people on this thread who don't know what they are talking about. I have a LS 430 with the ML system; it is by far the best car stereo I have ever heard. I've had this car for 10 months now. The $5k package on my car includ... | |
| Pioneer Elite DV-47A I bought 1 three weeks ago and out of the box it sounded like hell, sizzling highs, bloated bass,and no low level midrange detail (listening to onboard dacs straight to analog hybrid tube preamp). I put a burn in disc on and let it burn in for 2 w... | |
| rock/jazz fusion Did you try Jeff Beck's Wired? "There and Back" is not bad either. I second the Mahavishnu recordings, but include "Between Nothingness & Eternity" and "Visions of the Emerald Beyond". If it's guitar based fusion, check out Return to Forever's... | |
| What's a great univ/prog. remote for high end ? Mx-500 from Home theater master. Check out the reviews at remotecentral.com | |
| Rock albums that sound good on your system? For Rlwainwright, try Camel's "The Gods of Light, (Live 73-75) It's got the live version of Snow Goose and was bootlegged directly from the soundboard. It beats the first Snow goose silly. Other Good Albums:Days of the New (1 & 2, 3 is more co... |
