| Weird Question on Murray Pariah SACD Confusion There is a new Chopin Etudes SACD out which I also saw at Tower Records in Tokyo a few weeks ago. It should be available in New York. It has a similar typeface but the picture is different (though I can see a similar style, despite the difference ... | |
| Hovland is coming out with a new component???? I've heard that it's a power conditioner which runs completely off battery power generated by a nuclear capsule, allowing users to avoid power line hash. It glows blue, and if it overheats, it makes everything else in your listening room glow blue... | |
| Who sings "carry on" in Sony TV commercial? Spluta, try putting the following text "carry on" "sony commercial" (must be ["x" "y"] in that format) into www.google.com. The second one will get you your answer. As an aside, I think google is the best search engine out there for finding things... | |
| Who sings "carry on" in Sony TV commercial? Alana Davis. Two albums.You can see the clip here.You can read more about her at allmusic.com. | |
| What's your profession? Age? Nasty wicked hedgie. 34. Only short really bad companies :^). System about $20k(?) retail but all bought used/demo. | |
| Bob Bundus was wrong. Darrylhifi - I think the simple explanation is that Bob was referring to the full retail upgrade while you may be recommending the upgrade based on Audiogon pricing. Come to think of it, maybe Bob's 10k was official pricing of his Accuphase and yo... | |
| Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music? Twl, Thanks for the note. I'd had many good bottles of 96 Shiraz and some decent cabsav/merlot blends before, many from courtesy of the friend who offered the lot before he leaves the country. Indeed I bought the lot (110+ btls worth) referred to ... | |
| Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music? I just now read through the whole of this thread and am struck by two things: 1) the depth of interest in whisky, and 2) the fabulously high quality of wine chosen by Twl's wine club. One day I hope to find like-minded people as has Twl in order t... | |
| Any opinions on VTL mono-blocs MB450, etc ? I think both are very nice amps. I have the VTL 450s and a good friend has the VT200 (not the MkII I believe). I like my VTLs very much. They make my music sounds fabulous. The highest complement I can pay them is that while I have envisaged upgra... | |
| Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music? A wine question - for Twl or anyone else who might be able to help... I have the possibility to make a bulk purchase of some great Australian wines (think Grange & RWT, Torbreck Runrig, some great boutique shiraz, etc), mostly in 95-98 vintage... | |
| music , mind , thought and emotion A most excellent post. I think Ozfly and Unsound have summed it up nicely in saying (forgive me if I have misunderstood) that melody and rhythm are fundamentally understood by humankind and that a great deal of what we "really" appreciate in liste... | |
| A Little Hypocrisy? Playing devil's advocate as I am wont to do on occasion...Looking at the economics of the situation (letting work spill over into the hobby), it appears the general gist of responses above concludes that the manufacturing cost of CDs is quite low ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Outlier, thank you much for the info regarding the remote.To those who have the Syrah or Cortese, is the volume control a smoothly turning knob or a stepped knob? Has anyone asked Mick for something specific in regard to output control?I'd also be... | |
| Recommendation for guitar duo CD It's more than two guitarists but you might try the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet - four guys playing classical guitar, doing what might be called classical guitar crossover. Their most recent album has arrangements of music by Eduardo Martin, Astor ... | |
| Acapella ion tweeters Thanks to all for your advice. The story: when I went back to purchase the tweeters the day after my post, they had already been snapped up by someone else. Aargh! My interest has been piqued, however, so I will continue to look.Thanks all, Travis |
