| Amp suggestions for Martin Logan Prodigy speakers. Hi Bobber, thank you for the welcome. I love the Prods but I feel there might be something that I am missing. I wan't to make absolutely sure I've got my T's crossed and I's dotted because the they are in a shoot out of sorts. In the contest I've ... | |
| Skye Edwards, ever hear her beautiful voice? Its been 9 years since I made this post, and I am still amazed by Skye's singing. I really love this tune, hope you enjoy it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1uGbh96y-4 | |
| Audiogon "Recordings to Die for" a complete summary I'll put out something completely different:Wooden Smoke by Mike KeneallyOrbus Terrarum by OrbCharango by Morcheeba Joe's Garage by Frank ZappaYou can't go wrong with these in my opinion. Excellent sounding recordings. Orb is absolutely stunning f... | |
| Technics 1200 Sent for KAB Mods - w/Audio Samples Thank you for this experiment. I have been thinking about purchasing this turntable for a couple of weeks!I have been scrutinizing the recordings carefully and have a couple of questions. First how were the recordings made? Did you use the exact s... | |
| Hooverphonic anyone? I'm surprised no one has mentioned The Orb. This group has some serious sonic mastery going on. I have never heard a soundstage like they project. Stunningly 3d. Kind of esoteric, with little vocals and very long "songs" wrapping into each other a... | |
| Best female vocals on CD WOW! Sia is awesome! Kinda like Amy Winehouse except with a lot of talent! Also kinda like a female Joe Cocker including the talent!Thanks Dennis_the_Menace!Ron | |
| Hooverphonic anyone? I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Morcheeba!Ron | |
| Best budget preamp for Aragon 8008bb and Thiel 3.6 Czbbcl, how do you thing this pre-amp would sound as compared to a Bottlehead Foreplay III? I can actually get one of these kits for less than the CJ and it seems like it has more going for it, like new tubes for example. It also has more tubes an... | |
| Best budget preamp for Aragon 8008bb and Thiel 3.6 There is a PV-10 out there for $550. Is this a good deal? How do I know if the tubes are any good? How long to tubes last in preamps? Thank you,Ron | |
| Best budget preamp for Aragon 8008bb and Thiel 3.6 Gee, you opened up a can'o worms for me. Now I've got to learn a whole new technology! Promitheus TVC's. I didn't even know this product existed.Sounds very interesting though, and I just might go for it, especially if I can find one used!Thank yo... | |
| Hooverphonic anyone? But you like it!Ron | |
| Thiel CS3.6 and Aragon 8008BB combo? Thank you for your thoughts. I guess at this point "good" is as good as it gets for me. Perhaps the next ampI buy will be the end all, but I doubt it!Ron | |
| Thiel 3.6, what will drive them best? Well, I'm moving on from a B&K EX442 Sonata to an Aragon 8008BB. This should be quite a jump considering that the Aragon is a double mono amp with 2 1.1KVA transformers and doubles power from 200w at 8 to 400w at 4ohms. I haven't seen a figure... | |
| Hooverphonic anyone? Wow, that Laurie Anderson sure is cool. Very interesting effects swimming in lots of air. Very cool, thank you,Ron | |
| Best recordings to demonstrate soundstage? I thank you for your reply and believe you are probably on the money with your picks of analog recordings. I do have a couple of the RCA recording of Julian Bream that are quite nice. I believe they were state of the art for the 50's and 60's, and... |
