| iPod directly into amp I believe (seriously) that Dave Wilson used an ipod directly into some parasound power amps to demonstrate some new speakers and to show that the speaker is the most important link in the chain. I don't have an ipod, but I would imagine the only w... | |
| Aside form the Human voice... Guitar can't play 10 notes at once, can't....on and on...doesn't mean it's not more expressive, but it is more limited. I vote Piano. | |
| "The Greatest Record Man of All Time" There was an interview with Jerry Wexler last week either in the nyt's or wsj that talks alot about Atlantic Records. | |
| Symphony 5th - best recording Of course, Beethvoven! I don't have a favorite recording of it to recommend, but you might also might want to try the 6th for him--it's in Fantasia after all! Plus it has a story line that goes with it (that you could embellish). Anyway, good luck. | |

| Buzz/hum from amps, NOT from speakers Is this the first equipment you've used at this location??? If not, did your old stuff buzz too? If no old stuff, maybe buy a $29.95 boombox and see if it hums. And then call an electrician would be my take on it. | |
| looking for a good bookshelf moniter In this price range, the omission of "caveats" regarding Spica's is not a problem at all--the limitations on ANY speakers in the price range is going to be great and the compromises many compared to expensive hi end speakers. Doesn't mean he can't... | |
| Feedback on Audiogon Audio buys I have made on ebay have varied widely in quality of product received. Nothing like that for me on audiogon (except, I have learned not to by from Canada--see the other thread). The 'gonners know their equipment and how to describe it. ... | |
| What happened to all the tube amps? Tvad, you hit the proverbial nail on the proverbial head. | |
| What happened to all the tube amps? 330 tube amps for sale today on gon. None of them 'great' enough? I don't know. |
