| is 17ls2 a good match? I can't help you with your specific question but I have owned the c-j 17ls2. It's a very good preamp with a nice rich sound. It is not as detailed as good newer preamps. This was c-j's first step away from the golden sound they were known for and ... | |
| Why do designers/manufacturers...? Geoffkait, I'm not looking for an argument, just curious. What do your Mpingo disks do and why do you think they have been forgotten? | |
| Not as much activity on analog here Rockitman, Please point out where I said anything negative about vinyl or you said anything positive about digital.From your 1st post, One problem...the bulk of the music engineered in digital just plain sucks. From your 2nd post, Digital is the p... | |
| Why do designers/manufacturers...? Have you noticed that many tweaks go in and out of style? For a couple of examples, I can remember when people were knocked out by Mpingo disks and green cd pens. That's not to say that all tweaks are ineffective, but I'm sure some are. | |
| Not as much activity on analog here I apologize to the thread. I didn't mean to turn this into another analog vs digital argument. When discussing this stuff I think we need to remember that we are talking about personal preference. All our ears and brains hear differently, and you ... | |
| Not as much activity on analog here Let me just add that cd, through reissues, compilations, box sets , etc, has given me access to everything from women blues shouters from the twenties, to all kinds of prewar blues and country, to everything that Hank Williams ever recorded, to Lo... | |
| Not as much activity on analog here Rockitman, you're listening to the wrong music. The majority of music recorded from the fifties to the eighties was crap and the majority being recorded today is crap. There is a lot of good music being recorded today though, there always is. I pe... | |
| Not as much activity on analog here I believe you are in for a surprise Syntax. You do know that most recording is done digitally now, don't you? | |
| Like a Rolling Stone - Looking for great live Dylan You're right Hodu, people can play rockers as ballads. I guess I should have said that I didn't like the song redone as a ballad because it diminishes what makes it one of the all time great rock songs. And yes, Dylan has done a lot of diminishing... | |
| Jazz In A Woody Allen Movie: "Fading Gigolo" I think it was John Turturro making a Woody Allen-like movie. I don't think Woody wrote or directed it. The music was great. | |
| Like a Rolling Stone - Looking for great live Dylan Hodu, Eddie and Laura do a nice duet but the song is not a ballad. I prefer the sneer and bitterness of Dylan's version. Also Eddie needs to learn to lift his fingers off the strings when he slides them up and down the neck. I hate that noise when... | |
| Need some suggestions for a new audio rack You won't be able to get something for $200, but Timbernation builds excellent quality stands out of solid woods to order. He sells here on Audiogon but check out his website, you won't be able to get the best but you might find something that wor... | |
| Sanders 10c/d + Magtech + tube preamp I don't have experience with the Sanders amp but since the input impedance is 100kohms there shouldn't be a problem using a tube pre with it. I like the combination of a tube pre with a ss amp. Tubes can add a little richness to the music. Try to ... | |
| Should I upgrade to Martin Logan Montis? Glad to hear that you like the Montis so well Jason. Is the low level you speak of the bass frequencies? As far as cables go, they shouldn't affect the sound because they are just charging the panels. The audio signal is produced by your amp. But ... | |
| Should I upgrade to Martin Logan Montis? Well, you got a nice deal on the Montis. I don't think you'd have a problem getting your money back if they don't work out. Are you familiar with the Martin Logan Owners website? In the Room Acoustics forum there's a thread (14x18x8) where someone... |
