| SS for Merlins VSMs? Sanjosehan- If you are considering the passive approach, why not go direct? CDP direct to M-60 fitted w optional volume control? Takes a pair of ICs and output jacks out of the equation? | |
| Phoebe Snow has died. Not sure if anyone else listens to Howard Stern; he played a couple of live recordings of Phoebe singing the blues w Leslie West playing guitar. It was unbelievable, truly transcendent. Now I have to find out how to get copies? Any ideas? | |
| Good turntable needed, need recomendations. If the Model 7s are half as good as most people say they are (I only heard them briefly at RMAF and was not fond of the particular music being play...) then I think that you are going to be missing the boat w an average TT/arm and esp. what, to my... | |
| Perfect Debute Albums +1 for Joss Stone. Unfortunately she had a serious sophomore and junior slump. Senior effort much better...not up to her debut, but still, much, much better. | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Post above in response to Rja. | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... The title song, which opens the album could be and it has a brief reprise to close the album, but I can't imagine that Christchurch Girl is. | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? I suppose we are all deluded if we think our stereo sounds like anything other than what it is, a recreation of other people's musical creations in our homes in a manner that meets our needs and wants.Mapman says the secret word(s) and wins $50.00... | |
| CartridgeCompatability:Arm/Amp Most Important? Dan-ed is of course correct that it all matters. I think its helpful to think of the cart/arm as a single component. It is a transducer whose function is to convert the physical characteristics of the LP groove into an electrical current which wil... | |
| Atma-Sphere MA60's with Proac Speakers Need more info on your room size, but it looks reasonable based on 91 dB, 8 ohm nominal/4 ohm min impedance. If you can find an impedance curve that would provide more information. FWIW, Merlin VSMs are 89 dB, 6 ohm impedance w very flat curve and... | |
| Does anyone know what I saw ? Elizabeth's tweak sounds a little like the ground enhancers making the rounds. I think EVS has one and there are others. | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Agree w Rpeluso. Only thing wrong w Harlem river Blues is its length. After 33 minutes, I am left wanting much more. | |
| Cardas Cold Forging You crimped a penny onto the end of your speaker wires ;~) | |
| Are you too old to be an audiophile? their hearing is the ultimate variable.However, it is a variable over which we have no control. It MAY (emphasis on MAY) explain some strong differences of opinion over particular pieces of gear, but since there is little I can do about it, and si... | |
| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? Its easy to understand why things might occasionally fall through the cracks from the service side for about 6 weeks prior to and 4 after a major show like CES. This is not a criticism of VAC - its just common sense. I would think most people woul... | |
| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? Mapman said:I try to keep decent spare gear around in order to be able to listen if/when something has to go out for repair.Couldn't agree more. I bought and learned to thoroughly respect Dan Wright's entry level pre-amp whilst the VAC was away; n... |
