| christmas music @cd318 Thanks for resurrecting this thread. What other good recordings made since the OP 2007 can people offer for perusal? I just picked up the Eddie Higgins Trio's Christmas Songs (2004), an immaculate Venus pressing, that's been spinning a lot ... | |
| Are solo efforts ever better? I would push back and vouch for Sting's solo career. The Police were The Police and no one can ever take their genius and influence away from them, but Sting has managed to carve out a memorable and influential solo career more successful and deep... | |
| A light-hearted essay on loving music vs the audiophilia obsession Very fun to read and to feel the empathy! You put into more words the adage that many audiophiles use music to listen to their system. And you also nailed how Audiogon (and USAM) completely enable many of us, as you wrote, go from recreationally u... | |
| What's the oddest thing in your music collection? @mceljo Nice. I just found them on Tidal | |
| What's the oddest thing in your music collection? @dekay Fascinating! Could you post an image? | |
| What's the oddest thing in your music collection? This Sounds in Space vinyl used as packing material for another album I ordered off of Discogs. I cleaned it up and it sounds phenomenal! | |

| Passive speakers for desktop Based on what several friends say who are studio engineers and audiophiles, Tannoy or Revels. | |

| Does dose anyone see these speakers in real? They look like the removed intestinal section after a partial colectomy. | |
| Sound is better when I stand up? @coppy777 Good point. When I had my listening room downstairs (see my virtual system), I placed section of 2x4s beneath each leg of my loveseat. It made all the difference | |
| Sound is better when I stand up? @tom_guyette it would be the latter. It's plush and upholstered which means I'm definitely, according to your observations, getting some absorption mids and highs. | |
| Sound is better when I stand up? @ebm Hey - It gets the steps in... | |
| Recommend a good tube power amp in the 100 wpc range for under $4k +1 @Carlsbad. My Line Magnetic 518ia generated 22w and was a Stereophile Class a rec. More important, it was one of the best sounding tube amps I've ever heard. Try LM as well as Raven Audio products and Rogue. There're a host of good, tube produc... |
