| Best Preamp and Amp combination, interesting finding!!! OP, it should now be obvious to you after this experience that you should never share anything that comes into your mind here. My own experience has by the way shown me that the preamp is truly a critical component in the system only after the roo... | |
| What is the Make and Model of this speaker? I can't tell by your profile where you are located. If you happen to be in CA look for a pair of RSL 3600s. They were manufactured and sold there and come up fairly frequently on CL or eBay. You will be astonished by the SQ at that price level for... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander stringreen,I think AZ is great too to drive in at lower speeds than 80 to 90 in a Porsche if you have one that wasn’t conceived and designed as more of a grand touring car vs. a race car, i.e. 911s built pre-1999 or the the GT and RS series from a... | |
| What Is The Most Romantic Song That You Have Ever Listen To? The other day I was buying a CD called Compact Jazz by Oscar Peterson. The woman who was checking my purchase out was reading the songs on the CD. She said oh my God, The Shadow of your Smile, and began to cry. So in honor of Joanne, easily in her... | |
| Samsung flat screen TV’s I'm wondering how many of the problematic Samsungs and other brand problem TVs come come from Costco. Some of the products they sell are special runs done for them to meet a certain price point. I've never bought a TV at Costco and I've never had ... | |
| Favorite obsolete formats..... Cassettes with great SQ and recording on a top quality deck never ceases to amaze. | |
| WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? "most unusual"? No contest. "Rosie" by Jackson Browne. The ode to onanism and the only one ever written as far as I know. | |
| The Lifespan of an LP? Inna, that’s what people thought in the ’60s. playing Sergeant Pepper’s or Surrealistic Pillow over and over again was certain to wear it out in no time. When I first started getting into vinyl again in the last decade I researched the question be... | |
| Vinyl headache from hell!!! I experienced this same thing within the last couple of weeks. We live in AZ and the HVAC unit for the master bedroom and the library/main listening room had not been turned on all winter because we like to "sleep cold" and I'm comfortable in the ... | |
| Speaker upgrade for classical music Long thread. I'm going to depart from everything said here and say that the one thing that you said you don't have is actually the thing you should have. If you are classical musician and really want the sound of a symphony you need to turn to vin... | |
| It's the stylus... Raul, I know that when Pramanik, the engineer who was at Bang and Olufsen decades ago, designed the beryllium cantilevered stylus ultimately named after him, he designed it to mimic the shape of the actual cutter head. | |
| It's the stylus... As to MONO switches on a McIntosh power amp I’ve had some very interesting results playing my collection of MONO LPs. I have a feeling that the MONO switch on my amp which was properly used in a mono block setup in pair with a second identical Mac... | |
| Phono stage or pre Amp? which is most important. The Parasound Z-phono is a real killer in the lower price level. Also there are some vintage preamps that are known for having an exceptional phono stage. One of them is the Adcom GFP 565. Quite a performer at it's price point but with no digital ... | |
| What player to stream Amazon HD with? The thing I don't understand is why Amazon doesn't manufacture a device with the same capabilities as the CCA given Google doesn't even make or sell them anymore. One would imagine they could sell millions and hugely increase the number of subsc... | |
| What other hobby... Astronomy, cycling (both road and mountain bike), reading and listening to music (90 % classical), archery big game hunting. |
