| who surprised and who disappointed Martyki, no, not a case of Bizrro Universe. The concert I'm speaking of was late 73 or early 74, Keith Moon still with band. I suppose we could never make a peep as one song went right into the next, this show still stands as perhaps the best I ev... | |
| Review: Merlin VSM-MX Yes! Merlins definitely bring everthing together, coherence is the name of the game here! Merlins are only lean if you use incorrect amplification, SET's and OTL's are spot on. The other nice thing about Merlins is that Bobby can help greatly in p... | |
| Not wasting my time on new Digital While there are many newer digital rigs I've yet to try, my experiences thus far have been less than satisfactory. I can't say for certain, but I've found much greater bang for the buck in changing out other components. I also don't necessarily ag... | |
| who surprised and who disappointed Surprising:Perhaps the best concert I ever attended, The Who, just after releasing Quadrophenia, we had never even heard these songs yet. Cobo Hall in Detroit, I think the crowd was in shock, couldn't even make a peep of noise.Alice Cooper, early ... | |
| IMAGE PROBLEMS VOCALS OFF CENTER I can sympathize with you on this one, in my case totally room related. It could be the volume pot on your preamp (or amp, cd player, etc.) mistracking, it seems you've checked everything else. Otherwise it sounds like room or speaker postioning. | |
| Acoustic Solid Related to Acoustic Signature? A local audio dealer recently told me Acoustic Solid was the original company, partners split and stole the designs for the Acoustic Signature models. | |

| Mixed Results from My Hifi I would agree that the recordings are the major culprit, the excessive compression on these type of recordings kills the intimacy and nuance, result, wall of sound. Extra brightness could be alleviated with equipment changes and major acoustic tre... | |
| Conservative Politics & Rock Music Cynicism is a long held component of most progressive thinking, generally it goes along with a strong dose of idealism. While most of these songs definitely contain a strong dose of cynicsm, where is the idealism here. I always thought rock n' rol... | |
| Good way to dampen tonearm? Marigo VTS tuning dots are one possibility, amusicdirect.com also has a tonearm wrap,perhaps what Vanderstephan is talking about. | |
| open baffle vs sealed box designs Bastanis Prometheus sound like an interesting speaker although they have an integrated sealed box subwoofer. Check out the review at 6moons.com | |
| I've come to the realization... Audience AU24, Cardas Golden Cross, Purist Audio, all of these fit your needs and your price range. | |
| Best 1m Interconnect under $100 At that price, the Ridge Street MSE is super! | |
| Power Cords on a $1000 budget what would you do? One of the best new PC in the price range you're talking about are the VH Audio Flavor 4 with the Wattgates, a little over $300 each. Good luck trying to find these used, they sell in minutes, proves their worth. I continue to use these with much ... | |
| I think it is time to retire While I agree these artists may be past their prime, they still have superior musicianship to many contemporary artists. Talk about retiring, they should never have been working in the first place! |
