Questions from a noob on digital streaming
tomcy6 Nice to see some love for the Node2. I just picked up a secondhand oneĀ  and it should be here tomorrow. Like the OP I'm dipping my toe into streaming for the first time but unlike the OP I'm hanging onto my vinyl and the stuff that makes ... 
Takes one to know one
I still love Stagefright but it is a slightly flawed album with some wonderful songs(All the Glory for instance) and some less so.I've lifted an article some of you may have read and some may not have. Cheers.The Band delivered a classic with the... 
Silverline Prelude Plus floorstanders
C'mon guys....someone's gotta know something about these speakers.Surely? 
Music that everyone else loves but you just don't
Nodding my head at a lot of choices here and also noting that the majority of them are pretty long in the tooth.Clapton is pretty boring isn't he but he's forgiven as he was the mastermind behind ' Concert for George' and that was a ripper!Just tr...

@08-13-12: Timrhu.Ha ha, yeah I saw it and I thought: "This guy's just checking, so I'll let it go through to the keeper."My turn now. Your wondering; "What the...hell is the keeper?"Oh, and yeah I am pretty thick on a lot of things: Thick= dense.... 
Silverline Preludes : Still a good buy?
Thanks again Wolf for the info. :DOnce I get to hear them and get them a bit run in, I'll look at maybe getting a sub if the SQ calls for it.Can't wait to try them on some tubes but that may take a bit longer unless I grab one of those ultra cheap... 
Silverline Preludes : Still a good buy?
Thanks Bondmanp, yeah I've taken the plunge and now the waiting game plays out with hopefully undamaged speakers when they arrive way down here. Yeah, I gotta admit that it was really tough going trying to buy them direct from Silverline and I gav... 
Silverline Preludes : Still a good buy?
Hey thanks Wolf :D I appreciate the advice. So don't biwire them eh,well I'd not heard that before, I've got both types of cables so I'll have to test myself and see.Is your room carpeted or a polished timber floor or concrete with carpet over it?...

Music that everyone else loves but you just don't

Music that everyone else loves but you just don't
Yeah GFR, I wasn't being totally serious but they were good in their day especially as a three piece.I didn't want to mention C+W in case I got jumped on. I do have a couple of Ozark Mountain Daredevils albums though: Is that classed as C+W ? (hop... 
Silverline Preludes : Still a good buy?
Well I guess no ones too interested to offer any advice...nevermind. I went ahead and bought them from a supplier here at AG and shortly they will be winging their way to gods own country...Australia!Can't wait to hear them in my system.
