| Speaker punishing bass Enya's 1st (Atlantic)- go to track 14 "Dany Dwr" for some low information - pleasant listening too! Recently I attended the movie Crouching T - HD and the sustained drums - I even think it was listed in the credits as "Poems from a Chinese Dream" ... | |
| The Canadians that visit the site No, Manfred is pretty tight with 101a's..after all it is his bread & butter. However, my daughter plays baseball with his grand-daughter, and you should hear the stories about the dedicated wiring at his cottage! MD tuners are scarce in Ont...... | |
| The Canadians that visit the site ElGordo, if you return to the States with audio gear, NOTHING will happen to you at the border! Unless it were during the Cold War Years and you happened to have Russian (ssh!) tubes under your balaclava! And don't mention "Lamm" either. Remember,... | |
| The Canadians that visit the site Brampton, Ontario...home to Magnum Dynalab...is where this active audiolover lives. And Jeffo, since when were Canada Customs "our good friends"...remember the old days with punitive import duty and sales tax? I surely do..when I had to buy my kar... | |
| Top Ten Speaker Cables of all time?... Apologies for not proof-reading my post above...two finger typing and all...sorry. | |
| Top Ten Speaker Cables of all time?... Jim, Gutwire is a Cnadaian cable manufacturer located just north of Toronto...I have their 2nd from top power cord (lucious red in colour), excellent build quality, and comes with a unique alligator 'ground' clip! Their other cables include interc... | |
| Best audio racks www.rixrax.com from Vancouver, Canada has the most stunning custom built racks on the market. Rick, the owner, is a welder and fine woodworker by trades. His racks are pricey, though ($2500C for his top-of-the-line "Hoodoo"), but well worth it. Colm | |
| Top Music DVD s? Paul Simon's (including Miriam Makeba, Hugh Masakela, & Ladysmith Black Mambazo) "Concert in The Park" has superb sound on LD...may be as good on DVD. Listen to Steeley Dan, Neil Young (Silver & Gold), and Sinead O'Connor. Many soundtracks... | |
| Best Movie Soundtrack Music composed originally & specifically for a movie qualifies, in many opinions, as a "soundtrack"....rather than a collection of artists singing their songs. "Horse Whisperer" is kind of in between, Winoguy17, since I have not heard, for exa... | |
| Best Movie Soundtrack Gotta go with "Gladiator" at present until I give the "C-Tiger,H-Dragon" a longer listen. | |
| Speaker punishing bass "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" movie soundtrack...though listen to it on the DVD for 24/96 quality....I don't know if it is available on DVA yet (?) | |
| Which pre-amp. prosessor is the best?? The Anthem (Sonic Frontiers) Pre-Pro deserves prominent mention...I had forgetten about it....feature and parts comparisons place it at or near the top of the mid-price list. (I have not yet tried it, though). | |
| Anybody else wanna pull their hair out ? Yes, Sean, BUT WE HAVE ALL BEEN THERE...and are still doing that! | |
| Which pre-amp. prosessor is the best?? Marantz AV9000 for all around functionality, sound quality, best remote, and value for money. Not the best looking, though - go to EAD for cosmetics. Also try the latest (software) Sony T9000-ES pre-pro (in champagne), though the remote is not so ... | |
| Best female vocals on CD Sdcampbell (thread entry #3) said it all! No Celine FAN here, Frogman, but my track pick still stands. Add to my faves: Susannah McCorkell, Eddi Reader (Fairground Attraction), Tanita Tikaram (German singer in English), and Miriam Makeba. So there! |
