| Best Rock Album of 2016 Bowie - Black Star is greatWilco Schmilco is also greatSturgill Simpson - all of his stuff is great. Sadly, great rock albums are becoming more and more scarce these days. Or maybe I'm just getting old and stodgy. :( | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks I should also mention that DP21 arrived in my mailbox yesterday, and is off the chain good. A GREAT performance as well as a very good sounding recording from 1973. '73 was an excellent year IMO. | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks Dick's Picks Vol. 35 (The Houseboat Tapes) is by far my favorite in the series. The performances from 1971 were so tight and soulful. Sound quality on this one is very good as well. I own all of the Dave's Picks volumes, most of the Dick's Pick... | |
| Strange Loud Popping Sounds Yes! Very startling and lowering the volume on the amp does not reduce the sound of them.I did not experience this when playing digital sources, only analog. Are you sayiong a bad capacitor in the amp or the phono preamp? I just sent the amp in... | |
| Problem with Primare I32 Amp Thanks all. I did test the fuse and it tested good. I'm sending it in to Audio Elite today for repair. They are the authorized repair center for Primare and they have been very helpful and attentive so far. Cheers,Peter | |
| Problem with Primare I32 Amp I found a fuse on the board of the amp, which I checked visually and it looked fine. I thought I should probably test it but haven't done so yet. The fuse at the power plug should be fine since the amp powers up just fine. Any other fuses I sho... | |
| Strange Loud Popping Sounds OK, so after a while I have finally gotten around to trying different loading options to see if that was the problem. My cartridge is a low output MC Lyra Delos and with my other amp I was running it on the 100 ohm setting with great results. Wi... | |
| best integrated amp. Recently I was seeking the same class of integrated as you. I started with my mind set on the Pass Labs INT-150 thinking that was what I wanted (I have always dreamed of owning Pass Labs gear), but after reading reviews from some about how the am... | |
| Strange Loud Popping Sounds I wondered if it might be related to the gain setting on the preamp, but it didn't make sense to me. I will try changing the gain setting and report back. Thanks for the suggestion! | |
| Grateful Dead: Mars Hotel LP recording I own all of the MoFi issues of Dead LPs and have not been impressed by most of them. MoFi in general has never blown me away. Very hit or miss in my experience. | |
| Need recommendations on phono amp upgrade Have you considered the Parasound JC-3+?I have the JC-3 and love it. The plus version is apparently better and it's only around $3K. Rave reviews all around on the JC-3. | |
| Move from my LS3/5A orig ownr to Harbeth which I started on a pair of Spendor 3/5SE's and upgraded them to Harbeth M30's about two years ago. I drive them with a Cary SLI-80 integrated tube amp and use a REL T5 sub. This combination totally satisfies me (finally). I also listen to vinyl mostly... | |
| Wish List of LPs to be re-released The entire Zeppelin catalog is desperately in need of a serious audiophile treatment. The demand for their vinyl is crazy high, and there is no supply. I really want Led Zeppelin I and II most of all. | |
| Hey Tube Rollers - Thoughts on Shanguang Psvane? Thanks for sharing this. I appreciate it. | |
| Clear Day Cables Speaker Cables When I ordered my double shotguns I asked about bi-wiring and Paul said that these cables sound best with jumpers rather than bi-wiring. He sells these jumpers in either double shotgun or single stranded. He told me the difference between these tw... |
