| 30.7 MAGNEPAN Tour in Indy @noble100 Yeah, sorry I couldn't make it. My schedule freed up but my breathalyzer wouldn't let my car start. Oh well, maybe next time ;-) | |
| How To Proceed With Room Treatments @milpai I am considering adding tri-traps as well in the back corner. What height did you go with? Floor to ceiling or just partially? I have the wall treated with 24x48-inch panels behind each speaker but my corners aren't treated in the rear a... | |
| GREAT MUSIC - SO POORLY RECORDED... On the other end of the spectrum are the albums that were recorded and mastered in a way that could never be reproduced live. | |
| Phono Pre Advice Herron VTPH-2A...transformational in my system and in your price range. | |
| GREAT MUSIC - SO POORLY RECORDED... I know many will disagree, but as great of a drummer Mitch Mitchell was, the way his drums were recorded with Hendrix always sounded terrible to me. Sounded like one mic in a garage. | |
| Speaker Spikes and related items.... They vary. Most speaker spike threads are M12, M8 or 1/4” 20 but there are exceptions for sure. You can print off a thread chart from the internet or just take a spike into a hardware store to confirm your size. | |
| Network streamer recommendation without a dac/amp (pure streamer), under $4k I believe Audio Advisor has a 30-day return policy. I do think you'd be hard pressed to find anything better in your price range than the Aries G2. | |
| Tube Rolling Advice for the Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme? @jsqtI find most tube gear is soft on the bottom end before running in ~80 hrs. At that point the bass tends to tighten up in my experience.I've noticed it's a little "soft" sounding - not syrupy or bloated or muffled, just a little polite, parti... | |
| Need help finding a new phono stage. You - "I am happy"Me - "Don't upgrade" | |
| Great musicians who should have been famous except.... I just wish guys like Philly Joe Jones had actually gotten paid during their careers. | |
| Great musicians who should have been famous except.... I think it's fair to say all jazz drummers are/were underappreciated! | |
| Tube Rolling Advice for the Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme? All things equal I wouldn’t be planning to roll tubes on a new pre until you’ve listened to it and after a reasonable run-in period. Congrats on the new Backert! | |
| Great musicians who should have been famous except.... While I appreciate the technical chops of Alex VH, in the world of rock he just doesn't come anywhere close to the musicality that a Keith Moon brings to the composition. Spin a track like "Bargain" by The Who and just get immersed in Moon's bril... | |
| Great musicians who should have been famous except.... Agreed, way too many great examples of influential drummers (really all musicians) who most people have never heard of. Tony Williams for example. Talent and success far too often share zero connection. | |
| Great musicians who should have been famous except.... Are you suggesting Alex Van Halen isn't famous? He's certainly extremely wealthy...particularly compared to say Ginger Baker. |
