| New house, wife reveals she hates my Maggies- looking for stand mount speaker suggestions We had the same issue back in the 1990’s. I wanted the Quad ESL-63s with the Gradient subwoofers below them. An hour later we saw the Sonus Faber Electa Amator (original version/stand-mounted) speakers. My wife said, "Let’s get those". We’ve had t... | |
| MHA200 headphone amp. McIntosh failed mel Just FYI,I bought my McIntosh MHA 100 from a respected reseller. When it arrived, I hooked it up using the digital input. It had an intermittent short, so I had to have a local tech repair it. $200 later, it works fine! I contacted the reseller, a... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo - Dealer Demo value I’m not an expert on Brinkmann and you didn’t name the maker of the 12-inch arm. I checked the Bluebook on this site and it says the Bardo MSRP was $8K. I can’t see the table, but you seem to like it and trust the dealer selling it. There are lots... | |
| I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them..... lewm, 13,771 posts, and you don’t understand the acronym TMR? Probably one of the top sellers on this site! | |
| JA Michell Turntable I found a distributor in San Diego. I can’t remember how I found him, but I did. You might try the source that you can find in the July /August edition of Absolute Sound. It shows Fidelityimports.com as the importer for Michell. If you make contac... | |
| Cello Palette w/ Capacitors Have a tech go through it. FYI, that’s a very collectable preamp and they NEVER go cheap. | |
| Proudest musical experience. That’s a great story, and you should be proud of her. It reminds me of my own daughter’s experience. At around ten years old, she tried out for the school talent program. She wasn’t selected to perform, and I know it bothered her. The following ye... | |
| Natalie Merchant - Leave Your Sleep I'm a big Natalie Merchant fan. I've seen her live a few times and it's always different. I have all her solo albums, and the ones with 10,000 Maniacs. As the first responder above said, she is an acquired taste. Many of her albums are a little da... | |
| Jethro Tull P.S. I liked the Tull albums so much that I have many Mobile Fidelity issues in LP and CD. I recently bought an MF "Original Mastering Recording" LP of "Aqualung" at an antique store for $100. Yikes! But, it does sound amazing. | |
| Jethro Tull larsman, Thanks for looking in. I was a fan when "This Was" first came out in the late 60's. I had just gotten my first apartment, and my neighbors were big Tull fans who took pictures at their concert and gave me one. Then I heard "Stand Up" and... | |
| Jethro Tull larsman, My wife and I saw them at the Paramount several years ago. I believe it was some sort of anniversary tour. Ian’s voice may not have been the same as the 1970’s but I’m such a fan that it didn’t matter. They played the hits, like "Thick A... | |
| Jethro Tull Jethro Tull is an acquired taste, and not for everyone. If you listen often enough to any one of their albums, it will likely become your current favorite. They are just that hypnotic. Ian Anderson was the driving force of every album. IMO, he is ... | |
| Mike's Barn. Just another vanity video. Impressive gear, though! If I were single, my listening room would look similar. I'm not, so it doesn't. | |
| 2025 Rock-N-Roll Hall Of Fame Nominees After the last Hall of Fame induction ceremony, I learned that Jethro Tull is not among the groups enshrined there. The credibility of that institution, for me, is gone. Let’s hope that’s remedied in the not too distant future. | |
| “A complete unknown” We saw it on Christmas Day, and loved it. Go see it, and you won't be disappointed. Or, wait till it comes out on cable. In any case, you will like it! |
