| disco demolition night I remember this as a young man of 11 years old who was living in Greater Chicagoland at the time. I was a huge rock fan even then and I remembered cheering on the crowd. Disco sucks.......good stuff! | |
| 110 ohm and 75 ohm Digital as i nterconnects I use some Mogami Gold AES 110 ohm balanced cables as interconnects, both for digital and for analog. They sound great for either application. You can get them at Musicians Friend for about 50 bucks per cable shipped. Great sound, very neutral and... | |
| Totem Arro efficient enough for NAD C315BEE? VR1s are far from anemic in bass, for a bookshelf monitor. | |
| true bookshelf speaker I have my VR1s set up exactly as Tgrisham notes above, and it sounds great. On the built in bookshelves, surrounded by books. This is on the long wall of a rectangular living room. I sit on the sofa directly across from the speakers which are posi... | |
| DIGITAL CABLES I'd try the AES connection. Try the Mogami Gold AES/EBU cable--I got one for about 43.00 from Musicians Friend. They have great Neutrik gold connectors, nice construction, very neutral, and are used by most recording studios as standard equipment.... | |
| HDCD music suggestions??? Many Talking Heads are in HDCD--Stop Making Sense remastered is very good qualityAll Grateful Dead have been HDCD since mid 90s, and all new releases are in this formatSome David Grisman and Jerry Garcia releases are HDCDDave Brubeck, Time Out rem... | |
| Good Bookshelf Speakers for a Hearing Loss? Another vote for von schweikert. Try the vr1. You can get them here for about 500 or so and you will love the smooth and well integrated midrange. Might try something other than denon as it can be a bit bright. Have fun! | |
| Mcintosh sound IMHO, I would say McIntosh does not have a lot of PRAT (now that I read your post above) so their products may not meet your sonic goals. | |
| Mcintosh sound I always wanted some Mc stuff, but have never taken the plunge until recently. I picked up a MAC 4100 receiver the other day locally on Craigslist, for 500 bucks. They go on ebay and here for 800-900, so a pretty good deal. The tuner needs some al... | |
| Bel Canto Ref1000mkII stock issues? No worries Bob. I don't like to see unwarranted negativity on these boards. I think most of us agree on that. We are all in this crazy hobby together and I learn so much from everyone on here. Cheers! | |
| Bel Canto Ref1000mkII stock issues? Why are you guys misreading my post? I am not a dealer or anything. I am merely a prospective buyer and just trying to do my research and check the boards. I love Bel Canto stuff (own a couple pieces now) and am trying to determine whether to buy ... | |
| Bel Canto Ref1000mkII stock issues? thanks Buff! | |
| The Beatles albums finally all remastered Thanks for the update. Will get all these for sure! | |
| The''best'' used mini speakers Polk...Bose..?? the small NHTs are really good and are on closeout now. Check Stereophile for their listings..... | |
| pc to dac? A used Bel Canto DAC3 would work great and can be had for around 1500 used. You wouldn' t want to use the USB in that however. But it has all the other connections. |
