| Do people don't care or don't know? WAF? This is beginning to bug me! In general most of the men I know or have known throughout my life all have had some creative or positive hobbies. Discounting the illegal and immoral fun there is still much left to do and usually this hobby (hun... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence C4 Bigger conrad johnson tube amps will probably do ok too. I'd try a "darker" sounding high powered SS design instead though. The cost of retubbing is just too much for this former tubeholic. another try might be a good tube preamp with a neutral so... | |
| Personal speaker evolution A little JCPenny's bookshelf system to Sony SSU-1250s (I think...around 1978) to Polk RTA 12s to Thiel CS2s to Thiel CS 3.6s. Dunlavy 4s possible next or Thiel CS 6s or 7.2s. | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers As much as possible! Then you can slowly upgrade your other components. BUT pick the best full range speaker your budget and room can support or if you think you may move to a bigger domicle...the best your future room might support. If you like b... | |
| Miles Davis--Cellar Door Sessions? Any idea what the complaint(s) was/were? Thanks for the update however. I've been patrolling my local music stores looking for a few weeks now. | |
| bryston, c-j and thiel owners input sought Seems to be a wise investment. I had hoped to visit a pair of local dealers yesterday, but got tied down in yard work.Alpha-Core seems unavailable locally so far.... | |
| bryston, c-j and thiel owners input sought thx Sdcampbell! | |
| What would you do? I'm not understanding. You have your equipment back after you asked if he was happy and found out that he was not. If you do not ask to take it back then you do not get to take it back. If you are trying to please him at all costs this is what hap... | |
| With all your knowlege you have gained over time, I'd buy more records and CDs (and keep 'em all this time) and start simple, but buy the best performance I could with my upgrades. Maybe go from a NAD 2600 to a Krell FPB. Point is I spemt a lot of time and money assuming I would be satisfied as I... | |
| "The Ground" by Tord Gustavsen Trio. Anyone heard? I concur. I like the piano trio format in jazz and this trio is quite satisfying on both CDs. Is it jazz? Don't know and don't care! It is good music!Stan | |
| Mono blocks vs 2ch stereo single amp / Krell Why not take a good listen in the new room without any preconceived notions before making a decision? You might have far bigger issues to solve first. Or maybe none at all... | |
| Mcintosh MC-2205, Bryston 4B-ST, or Marsh a400 You may need a couple hundred more for a 4B-ST lightly used.I'm using a conrad-johnson PF-1 preamp with a 3B-ST. I really was not moved by the Bryston preamp-amp combo. Some folks claim the Bryston amps to be bright, but not to my ears. | |
| Personal amp evolution Sansui receiver, Carver M400 (original version), Hafler DH220 kit, Audionics CC-2, c-j MV-75a1 (still own), Bryston 3B-ST. On horizon...Bryston 7B-SST or Classe CA-401.preamps...NAD 1040 (or was it 1020?), c-j PV-4, c-j PV-6, c-j PF1 (still in ser... | |
| Srangest ,most out there sounding music Ornette Coleman "Dancing In Your Head" (correct title?) and most anything by Roland Shannon Jackson and the Decoding Society. | |
| Audiophiles & music-have you got it wrong? Relating to Sean's first point....I budget approximately $35 per paycheck for new or used CDs.Obviously I'll get over budget sometimes. Due to stores unwillingness to carry much stock, sometimes you must buy when you find a desired item. When I wa... |
