| 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 ... | |
| What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in? Millercarbon, Thanks for your clear and cogent explanation about what I may be hearing or experiencing with various recordings played on my new equipment. I’ve honestly been a bit confused about what I’ve been hearing when playing some records or ... | |
| What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in? Jepatey, I do have a number of earlier Pink Floyd albums on Harvest. I’m giving Obscured by Clouds a listen right now. I unfortunately might have given my brother the original Harvest Dark Side of the Moon when I thought I was upgrading to the ori... | |
| What was your first big eye opener with regard to audio? Back in the early seventies walking into a dealership in Poughkeepsie, NY and hearing a pair of pricey Ohm speakers being demoed for a customer. I recall the sound of cymbals shimmering across the room as it you could touch the sound. Not much lat... | |
| What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in? Glupson, thanks for the explanation and the link. I'll read through the explanation on how to play the SACD on the Marantz link you provided. Am I to understand the DSD material is not sold in a disc format, but only as a file download? I'd like... | |
| What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in? Tobor007, that’s an interesting idea.Kren0006, thanks for sharing your experience with your new system. It’s surprising that minor speaker placement and angling changes can make such a difference. I’ve put off playing with speaker placement until ... | |
| Is this sign of getting old? Shkong, if you’d been doing the opposite, and just learning to appreciate classical music I’d concur you’re getting older. As it is, learning to like Elvis at a more advanced age might put you in the same bracket as Brad Pitt’s character in "The C... | |
| What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in? Glupson and Geoffkait, thank you both for your suggestions. I'll check out both your links soon as I have a minute. I wish I had a DSD player to try out that format. I understand that a standard SACD player will not be able to play DSD's. Correct ... | |
| What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in? Thanks glupson. I will try that and would like an improved Let It Bleed recording. Geoffkait are you aware of another version of Let It Bleed I might like to sample as well. I’m open to suggestions.Mike | |
| What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in? Millercarbon, appreciate your input on most of the changes happening early on. I didn't understand what might be occurring with the Magico's for example over a 400 hour burn in period.Sleepwalker, I take it burn in, not break in is the correct te... |
