| Anyone send back Magnepan MMG's? I owned Maggies in 84' and 85' and sold them for the reasons listed above. I've also noticed that Maggies make singer's heads seem 3 ft wide and flutes seem 4 ft. The pure ribbon versions are not as bad. | |
| Herbie Hancock on the Grammys Jeez...sunny all day day I'm still bitchin'! | |
| Herbie Hancock on the Grammys Winehouse is considered a genius by some because she successfully imitates music from the 60s and 70s. Hmmm...I think what's put me off is the media overkill as regards her drug abuse, alcohol abuse, barfing after meals, and self-mutilation. Now w... | |
| A 9 watts beats Passlabs, EAR and YBA ? Unfortunately, an SET will not have the drive of the EAR 890, unless you use a very unusual speaker with it's own set of problems. One must come to know one's own predilections. | |
| Anyone send back Magnepan MMG's? You're addicted to Pat Benatar?!? | |
| Herbie Hancock on the Grammys I think 12 days without sunshine (and it's snowing again right now - 8 times in 12 days) has made me testy. I am sick of spoiled brat rich kids that get addicted to narcotics. Especially sick of them being portrayed as people "we should get to kno... | |
| A 9 watts beats Passlabs, EAR and YBA ? If you have a chance, try the EAR 890. The 834 is a little soft and vague sounding, at least to my ears. The 890 is a different beast - musically real and engaging. | |
| Herbie Hancock on the Grammys John Coltrane was a heroin addict but made his best music after kicking the habit. Miles Davis was a heroin addict for much of his adult life. Keith Richards was, too, and thank God he could afford regular blood transfusions (not that we'd miss hi... | |
| Herbie Hancock on the Grammys Amy's popularity is primarily because she is a self admitted (and proud of it) cocaine, heroin, and alcohol addict. Hollywood loves that stuff. In another case a second rate actor (who has a 4 year old daughter for God's sake!) becomes a drug addi... | |
| Herbie Hancock on the Grammys The name of Herbie's album from the early 70s was "Headhunter". It has been remastered on CD and is quite fun. | |
| Anyone recommend a neutral tube amp? "Don't get a tube amp if you want neutrality..."I have put my EAR 890 against 3 well regarded S/S amps with mostly non-audiophile people. The EAR won every time, most recently with my brother and sister-in-law who don't know the difference between... | |
| Bose 901...really I listened to 901s extensively in the 70s and 80s (mostly discos but some friend's houses, too.) They had no bass and very shelved down highs. The two discos that used them had supertweeters and subwoofers also and used the Boses pretty much for m... | |
| Anyone send back Magnepan MMG's? Stop playing Pat Benetar or any pop music from the 80s. No, really, seriously, stop it. (Just kidding.) | |
| ear 534 I own an EAR 890 which is the best sounding amp I've owned. It retailed for $5,500.00 when I bought it, now goes for $7,500.00. However, to my ears, it beats the Air Tight I had before which was $8,500.00. How much do we value music making?From wh... | |
| audio research sells out good or bad ? Return On Investment is the driving force behind many problems in our economy. We have decided as a people that money is the most important thing in the world and the product or service is just a way to get some. Quality of product and service is ... |
