| Zappa? Still have a special affinity for "We're Only In It For the Money" after all these years. Don't have "Joe's Garage" but will soon. Johnrob, you're right when you say music threads are the best part of Audiogon. | |
| Best budget bookshelf speakers for 3-600 dollars. If you are accepting recommendations for small floorstanders then Sfar's input is right on target. The Kestrel Hot Rods can be found in your price range and are an excellent choice in a small floorstander. Although a bit larger, the Vandersteen 1C... | |
| Why does my laptop annoy me less than my rig? I know exactly what you mean. I can listen to a cd on my crappy cd player in my crappy 96 Jetta and smile continously never noticing how bad it sounds. When that same cd is playing on the stereo, although it sounds very nice, I am constantly aware... | |
| The Past 5 years I agree with Jaybo. Some of my earliest cds are a literal pain to listen to. I'm having trouble thinking of a recently released cd with the terrible harshness of some early cds. | |
| Anyone spend more on their system than their car? My wife looked at me sideways a couple times as I read some of these posts while laughing out loud. Although I don't have a megabuck system, it did cost more than the 96 Jetta I bought for myself last spring. I don't drive the Jetta as often as I ... | |
| Can I use Headphones AND a Subwoofer? I've listened to headphones (HD-600s)with speakers on for added bass reinforcement. I think it sounds great at higher levels. Of course I only do it when home alone so know one thinks I'm nuts. | |
| What is the best sounding HDCD? While listening to Lucinda Williams' Car Wheels on a Gravel Road I noticed the HDCD indicatoe light on. Add this to your list. | |
| What is AFAIK? What part are you looking for? This site is a great place to ask for help finding parts. | |
| Meadowlark speakers Upfront I must say I'm one of those with Meadowlarks listed on Audiogon now. I own both Kestrel Hot Rods and Shearwater Hot Rods, both bought used. Mine were purchased before Meadowlark went under but still at what I consider bargain prices. The K... | |
| Philips 963 SA -transport I bought the lower budget model 763SA with the same thought in mind; try out SACD with little risk. I used the player as a transport for redbook cds and the internal dac for SACD. SACDs were too limited so I only tried a few. While the transport w... | |
| Internal Speaker Cabling Jaybo, what speaker cable are you using? | |
| What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock? Read this post and moved on without comment but my wife is watching a show called the "Insider's List" which featured a segment on Gem Therapy and I thought "oh brother." Then I thought of this post and P.T. Barnum's famous line. | |
| JM Lab 707S died on me. If you can't locate a part number on the driver you should be able to contact Focal customer support and order part. Be prepared for a shock when asking for a price quote. Good luck. | |
| Dac for Adcom System The XLR outputs are analog outputs on the GCD-750. The unit has no digtal output. | |
| Biwiring Try it both ways and let us no the result. Seriously, I'm curious. |
