| Best alternative CDs of 2007 Pandora is very cool. How do the pay the royalties? Do they hit you up for a subscription?Jim S. | |
| Best alternative CDs of 2007 Thanks for sharing. You got one of my favorite artists on the list... P.J. Harvey. I need some new inspiration too. Big mainstream alternative fan in the 80's and 90's but lost my way with a couple of exceptions (White Stripes, Doves, etc.).Then t... | |
| Analog vs. digital segment on PBS It was interesting and disappointing at the same time. Interesting was the analog engineer saying that he could incorporate the same "effects" as the digital engineer. Then the digital engineer says - so what - "I can do it quicker and easier and ... | |
| PBS's Wired Science "Analog vs. Digital". Fatparrot,Yeh, that is next weeks segment. Is digital (or analog) worth the effects on the climate? Probably a toss up. Personally, I think it (global warming) is the methane.Probably a so-what, but I thought some might be curious. I am.Cheers,Jim | |
| PBS's Wired Science "Analog vs. Digital". Hey Tom,It shows up on CET's schedule several times. Wed. at 8:00PM and Friday at 9:00PM. Also a bunch of odd times throughout the week.http://www.pbs.org/kcet/wiredscience/page/local_listing.html This is the link to local listings and the title o... | |
| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? EjcpaMike Morrow @ Morrow Audio dabbles in old tuners. Don't know whether he does it for more than just fun, but you can ask.Jim S. | |
| Arcam Owners... I can't comment directly to your specific question. But I will share my general impressions.I have a C30 (C31's predecessor) that replaced an Alpha 10 integrated and a CD23 but haven't heard the CD192. I have only compared the Rotel to Arcam in a ... | |
| How Many Of Us Are Compensating I can compensate by moving speakersÂ… Magnepan 1.6's. That would be hard to do for most. Way out in the room for acoustical or small ensemble. Push them back (almost 3') to up the upper base & mid range output for rock, wall of sound, etc. Also... | |
| Record Sleeves - Which ones and where? Bookmark. | |
| Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have Hooray for the protective gear recommendations when riding. I believe in personal choice, but grimace when I see some kid and his girl on a sportbike in shorts, tee shirts, and no helmets.Wanted to mention that there are back protectors available.... | |
| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? Duane,Sort of. I got to meet some of the folks in this thread at Mike Morrows' in Kentucky. AlexC is running an e-mail list and there was talk of getting together again. Waiting for a volunteer with the time and patience to host a get together.I a... | |
| Integrated amp with phone and headphone jack? Arcam's integrated amps have headphone jacks and MM/MC boards can be added. I suspect most units would already have the boards installed as it was only $100.The Alpha 10, FMJ 22, and FMJ 32, are the better choices than the Diva series. All are ver... | |
| Reference level playback Acoustat6, I partially agree with your premise, but I think you have taken the principle too far.Certainly, the best way to get the flavor and texture of a musical piece or set of pieces on an album is to listen at a fixed volume. Many above have ... | |
| What are the treasures in your vinyl library? Treasures? Who knows? But changed what I listened to.From when I was younger.Dave Mason - "Is Alive" and "Dave Mason"Dead - "Europe 72", "Skull & Roses", and "Mars Hotel"Who - "Who's Next"POCO - "A Good Feeling to Know"Middle AgeREM - "Murmur"... | |
| Should a good system sound bad with bad recording? I once tried to answer a post similar in context to this and really couldn't find the proper words. The exitement, involvement, and surprise brought out by a "good" recording on a well balanced system is what I want. You hear a tune you like on th... |
