| Music for 2022- Is It Just Me Or?.. I'll browse Tidals genre new releases every week to see what's out there. Kind of like the old Borders listening stations. There's as much good stuff out there as anytime before. There's also just as much crap. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV $6K is enough money to that I would be suddenly single if I actually spent it. And yes, @chuke076 , if I did ever drop this much on speakers, I would expect to fart around with toe-in and sucb but not actually modify any hardware. Then again, for ... | |
| Hotel California sounds good on the radio. I suspect those recordings were recorded and mixed for home systems because back in that day most cars only had AM radio. The idea of recording for radio really came about in the 80s with the Advent of commuting and FM radio widespread. | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. Brings to mind that wonderful line from Keenan Thompon on SNL, mocking grumbling Boomers and their whiny Millenial children: "I’m Gen X. I just sit on the sidelines and watch the world burn.” | |
| Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to Fun little story: I once made Norah Jones cry when she was, like, four or five years old. My great aunt was a music producer and founder of Angel records and was having a get together at her apartment in New York city. My mom and I were there and ... | |
| Best Amps for Magneplanar 1.7i Speakers Yes, +1 on Bryston and Hegel. I had Maggie 3,6r for several years and drove them with a beautiful ARC VS-110. Plenty of tube power for those big beasts. | |
| Oppo 105D digital volume question @designsfx but if you use the Codex as a DAC (rather than a headphone amp) doesnt it negates the volume feature? Oh, And I retract my earlier statement that the ayre didn’t have a potentiometer | |
| Oppo 105D digital volume question Access the oppos setup menu via a screen. See what the startup volume is as well as the max volume. I'm running mine into a Schitt Gungnir, but then also into an integrated. Neither your Ayre nor your ps audio have any pots so the oppo has to serv... | |
| Getting back into venal with a $2,000 budget. @litespeedaudio I had a Rega P3 with the Elys cartridge for a while. I was somewhat underwhelmed by it. I was also somewhat put off by feeling locked into Rega cartridges. However, it gets rave reviews from many many other sources and users here. | |
| Getting back into venal with a $2,000 budget. I'm going to second what @chayro said about all the "veteran" voices throwing all sorts of obstacles in the way of someone who simply wants to experience a new medium. Please, @litespeedaudio. It is perfectly possible to get a wonderfully satisfy... | |
| patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole Can we resurrect Julie London or at least hologram her for part of the show? | |
| celestion 7000 Great speakers! As @stereo5 said, maybe replace the caps as they've been around for close to 30 years. Are you comfortable soldering? If so, it should be a fairly easy job to swap them out for some really good ones. Here's a 20-year old post about... | |
| Oppo 105 favoring one channel Problem solved! And for a much cheaper solution than I had anticipated. @designsfx That solved the problem. When I went to the Audio Setup menu, the right speaker trimmed 2 db higher than the left. Whew! What a relief. Thank you for the solution.... | |
| Oppo 105 favoring one channel @jeffseight Good to hear that. The 105 is a forever piece for me. Until it isn't. But until then it is. |
