| Whats on your turntable tonight? Thirty-some years ago I purchased a copy of the then new Hendrix "Live At Winteland" double album on Rykodisc-RykoAnalogue. It was pressed on clear vinyl in ’86 maybe, recorded live in ’68.My B&O Beogram 4002 turntable (RIP 2019) had tangentia... | |
| VPI Uni-Pivit Tone Arms Almandog, when you emailed VPI, did you email the company or did you email VPI Forums. I bet if you utilized their Forums like you are doing here, someone would be able to solve your problem for you. I’ve had a Classic 2 Special Edition with the U... | |
| Is integrated the future for 2 channel audiophiles? The more separates you purchase the more ridiculously expensive wires/cables you need to purchase. Mike | |
| The best looking speakers At lot of speakers are designed to draw attention to themselves, or to look good in and of themselves. I looked for a speaker that did just the opposite, to blend in as much as possible with the room it was in, and to draw as little as possible at... | |
| AMP or Preamp You might try contacting Wilson and ask them what amps they use at shows to demo their speakers, where they'd be wanting to make a good impression. Not knowing enough to choose an amp for my Magico A3's, I contacted a VP there and found out they ... | |
| Looks vs. Performance - How would you mix and match? I would have liked for something as simple as my Luxman 507uX integrated amp to have been available in black to match all the rest of the components. It wasn’t a deal killer when purchasing, only an annoying drawback. Luxman does take a lot of car... | |
| VALENTYNE SUITE COLOSSEUM 21st July 21st 1969 Well, Valentyne Suite is on the way all the way from Switzerland. Thanks for this thread harold-not-the-barrel, which rekindled an old interest.. That completes my collection of the original bands output too.I did find some Greenslade on Youtube, ... | |
| VALENTYNE SUITE COLOSSEUM 21st July 21st 1969 I’ve never even heard anything by Greenslade. Maybe there’s something on Youtube or somewhere else to try a listen. I’ll take a look.Mike | |
| VALENTYNE SUITE COLOSSEUM 21st July 21st 1969 Those are the ones I have twoleftears, plus The Grass Is Greener from 1970 on the ABC/Dunhill label I was pleasantly surprised by this post others knew of and enjoyed them. I never heard them mentioned anywhere before. I’ll have to break some out ... | |
| VALENTYNE SUITE COLOSSEUM 21st July 21st 1969 I've the next four albums they made after Valentyne Suite, but have never heard that one. I'll have to look at Amazon.com music tonight and see if it's still in print. I'm surprised at all the newer material that came out years later from the band... | |
| Media: Should we start hoarding? Elizabeth, that's a stupendous number of records you've disposed of. It's none of my business, but I'm curious what what kind of stuff you longer wanted and got rid of.I've nowhere near what you had, maybe 1500 records and cd's tops. I gave away a... | |
| What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in? Dan, hopefully you're correct, and I can only hear the parts I like. I guess with the speakers 400 hour burn in period a full year's warranty period might be exceeded. But the Magico's are built like a brick, so no need to worry. There are way too... | |
| what is it in audio that you dislike most? The disappearance of record stores, and the high price of good equipment. Fortunately I don’t have small children to starve to afford further upgrades. James, I had the same experience of a dealer upping the quoted price $200 at the register. I wa... | |
| Help ! Schubert, after burning copies please send me a general list of what you have to dispose of and what you'd like to get for them. It'd be a shame to dispose of those treasures or give them away with no recompense. I buy CD's still, and am fortunate... | |
| The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity! I always figured "high end" meant or implied equipment that you couldn't afford. I finally have equipment I clearly can't afford, so this is no time to get rid of the term, while I'm enjoying having "high end" stuff at long last. Let a guy have a ... |
