| Best divorce album? @asvjerry Good call on the Jayhawks' song. Isn;t that the same album that had "I'd Run Away"? That's a tear-jerker. And I've been listening to that Beck album since it came out and never realized it was a breakup album, though it makes perfect sen... | |
| Triangle Titus 202 or Triangle Comete ES? I loved my Tituses when I had them. Sold them when I got my de Capos, but never forgot how clear and powerful they were. | |
| Digital player for truck suggestions I do appreciate all the advice you've given me on this. @djohnson54 You have a point about not getting too worked up about sound quality - especially in a truck where road noise is going to be a bit more than in a more sealed sedan or coupe. I thi... | |
| Digital player for truck suggestions @elevick I would probably aftermarket both the car stereo and speakers. The company offers a $500 Bose 7-speaker upgrade package, but I doubt I would be happy with that And would be happy to spend more if it got me more.And no $100K SUV; we're loo... | |
| Digital player for truck suggestions Thanks for the reply. My serious listening is on the downstairs system: more and more vinyl and a static number or so of cd's. The upstairs system is more casual - streaming from my phone; the occasional cd in the blue-ray player. I have about 200... | |
| Robert Lee recommends Triode Corp, but... @jayrossi13 Definitely! I rolled in the Amperex 7308's last year with awesome results. | |
| Robert Lee recommends Triode Corp, but... @cjaronica Thanks - just PM'd you.@steakster I'm using AZ cabling throughout except for some homemade 8402 IC's I made. I'm running the amp through an AZ Tsunami II cord off a dedicated outlet. | |
| Robert Lee recommends Triode Corp, but... You all are awesome for your thoughtful suggestions. And thank you in particular to the AZ owners for their ideas on synergy and cautions, too. Keep those suggestions coming in.Again, My LSA is stellar, but in this hobby there's almost always the ... | |
| List of albums that will still be popular 50 years from now... @bdp24 I think there lies the rub. Musicians will always listen widely to other musicians. But the vast majority of people are not musicians, just as the vast majority are not audiophiles, and thus a seminal and valuable voice like The Band is des... | |
| Robert Lee recommends Triode Corp, but... Tom, thank you for the suggestions! To specify, what about an SET amp or integrated that puts out more than 25w? Also under $3K used? And holds up well against the LSA?or is that a pipedream? ? | |
| How to hook up a preamp to a Integrated amp @maplegrovemusic That it is. I'm on the lookout for a specific Triode Corporation integrated to perhaps replace it only because Robert Lee at Acoustic Zen raved about the synergy between my Adagios and Triode Corp. gear. | |
| How to hook up a preamp to a Integrated amp I rolled NOS Amperex 7308's into my Statement's pre-amp section with huge results from the stock 6922's. The Statement's pre-amp section is quite good; and I've heard from Wally that John Tucker does not like to modify the Statement into the State... | |
| Best pressing of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto? @rcprince That's what I figured. But I love "hearing" his technique on violin and how this recording lets me 'see' what he's doing. | |
| List of albums that will still be popular 50 years from now... Some thoughts:As a few have pointed out, this thread reflects the age and ethnicity of many of us who think the albums that shaped us will have to live on. 50 years is a lot of time in pop music. 50 years ago, in 1966, a sea-change in music AND c... | |
| Best pressing of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto? The original pressing of the '56 Heifetz rendition arrived the other day and I cleaned and spun it. Beautifully recorded; Heifetz's violin was right there in the room with me; the recording and mastering of the accompanying orchestra seemed a bit ... |
