| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) I’m sure these Andrew Jones designed speaks sound good. But..., are they this moments Elac Adante? Not too far back, this AD designed line was flavor of the moment, by reviewers and users. Then not too long after-price dump by retailers 50%. Ye... | |
| Gallagher has passed away. I experiended Sledge-o-matic in 1982 WITH the watermelon/unsuspecting crowd- was quite fun. It became a JTS moment(jump the shark) in following years, but Gallagher otherwise was great. | |
| What's it worth to you? IF I had a VERY wide wallet, I WOULD be that guy buying some those albums. The difference would be, I’d actually play them on my uber setup. I have a thing about playing the very best period press of whatever the "legacy" release -stereo/mono. N... | |
| A New MC to Catch One's Attention If one has a table/system setup that would exploit the AT2022, then I don't see the big deal on MSRP. Assuming it's in line with how the ART series performs-above their price point, then it should play with the hyper carts well above $10K+ Most ... | |
| A New MC to Catch One's Attention "You've got to be nuts or have money to burn to spend $9K on a cartridge" To owners of a TechDas Zero, Clearaudio Statement, etc., it's like changing socks. AT MC2022 is a jvalue/budget Hana. | |
| A New MC to Catch One's Attention The ART1000 was the top dog a a few years at $5K price point. Arguably, it's in the league of $5K+ up to...? Now AT has a model to compete with the uber $10K+ MC's, AND it's only $9K! Looks like they decided not to carry on with the exposed coi... | |
| Barbara Strieisand "Live at the Bon Soir" 1962 Babs earliest recordings is a reminder that she had a voice that maybe is in the league of the greats during the 50-60's. My parents were HUGE fans during here peak years. I'm not a fan, but she can sing any American Songbook tune as good as the ... | |
| Bi amping my ML SL3 speakers 'Any idea why these speakersxare rated either 80-200 or 80-400WPC on various ML documentation. That is a significant difference !' Being concerned about the speaker power ratings is probably the least of your concerns, since your preferred listen... | |
| Phono preamp with best mid bass Your "goldilocks" phono amp is purely subjective. No one can recommend your "just right." Start with the "best" pressing-which is yet another subject argued to death. Tube units seem to project a more convincing organic presentation to me. | |
| Bi amping my ML SL3 speakers "I already have a rotel amp that is overpowering the wiofers so I really think I would benefit from bi amping." The 1st post about overthinking it is what I would agree with. Your amp isn’t "overpowering the woofers". There isn't anything near 2... | |
| Bill Evans Riverside Recordings Box Set is FINALLY IN STOCK!! I was SHOCKED when I looked up the value of what a minty copy of my "New Jazz Conceptions" album can be! Bill Evans – New Jazz Conceptions (1957, Vinyl) - Discogs The LP itself is short A+ mint, and the jacket looks new, for a 66 year old L... | |
| Looking for Advice on Focal Speakers " All four models have the same tweeter; it’s made of Boron, not Beryllium. " Clarify mac742's statement The tweeters are some kind of aluminum/magesium mix with Poron used for its suspension. From a materials site: PORON® Urethane Foam Mate... | |
| VPI HW-19 with Graham 1.5 arm Question/Suggestions The OP can see that recommendations and "whats wrong" are all over the place. I've heard countless uber setups with every form of "correct" setup. Just about any decent brand/technology will sound "good." One thing for certain is it's the sum of... | |
| Absolutely marvelous story and a fun jazz-ish recording What in my response implies I didn’t read the WHOLE article?sigh | |
| Talking Book Hard to process-50 years! Seems like just a couple years ago I was listening to the album when it was NEW. Talking Book is an essential must have for Stevie Wonder fans. Intro to "Maybe Your Baby" blasted is great to "feel" the Moog. |
