| 1st Album you Ever Owned? The first record album that I bought was the Beatles, "Rubber Soul". I bought it when it first came out. I thought every song would be a hit and it made me a Beatles fan for life. | |
| Audiophile Blu-Ray player(s)? I have two Pioneer BDP-09 FD Blu-ray players. The MSRP for each was $2200 when new, but you can find them today for much less. I don’t know what you would consider an "audiophile" player but I do think that you would be hard pressed to find a more... | |
| Anyone got a source for a pair of AR Classic tweeters? I have had similar issues when a tube or tweeter stops working. I have been surprised how easy it is to find replacements. In general (yes, in general), the tube or tweeter has a model number stamped or printed on it. Entering the number on Google... | |
| Remember the year and first vynil you ever bought? My first 45's were Elvis' "Hound Dog" and "Don't Be Cruel" (flip-side) and Bobby Vee's "Rubber Ball". My first LP's were "Cat Stevens' "Tea for the Tillerman" and James Taylor's "Sweet Baby James", probably as 1970 was the first year I had the mon... | |
| Audible Illusions M3A factory refurbished or MFA MAGUS Bruce Moore checked? I use an MFA Magus B, and also own an Audible Illusions L1. I bought the MFA for the well-regarded phono section, the AI for the headphone amp-but it lacks phono. I recently purchased a relatively high-end phono set up with a low output MC, and al... | |
| Advice on CD transport I have two suggestions that fit your criteria, but both have built-in DACs. The first is a used Oppo 105 (just under $1K), the second is a used Pioneer BDP-09 FD (available periodically for a few hundred dollars). Either would make a great transpo... | |
| Memory Lane and Lust/Looks...even somewhat strange ones.... I have several CD players but one of my favorites is the Consonance 5.0 Droplet. I bought it because it looked so cool...the sound was a bonus. | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? Natalie MerchantJoni Mitchellk.d. langI also like Janis Ian. Her albums "Breaking Silence" and "Revenge" are both great. | |
| During this isolation, I would be interested in suggestions of great movies you like. Two of my favorite vintage, don't-miss movies are "Random Harvest" and "The Shop Around the Corner." Neither will change your life, but you will remember them for a long time and recommend them to others. | |
| ? on Pioneer CD players from the past, anyone still using one of these I bought a Pioneer PD-65 CD player (with Stable Platter mechanism) from a liquidator for around $275 about ten years ago. I thought it was a great transport, and sold it for around $350. You can find Pioneer Elite BDP-09 FD Blu-ray Disc Players (M... | |
| Good economical used DAC to hunt down Benchmark DAC1. I see them on eBay and Craigslist for a few hundred dollars because they have been superseded by newer Benchmark DAC models. You'll be glad you did. | |
| During this isolation, I would be interested in suggestions of great movies you like. A few of my favorites are "Hoosiers" (with Gene Hackman); "The Verdict" (with Paul Newman); and "Jerry Maguire" (with Tom Cruise). I believe you would find many vintage movies you would like on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) channel. | |
| DAC vs Tube CDplayer What a ridiculous post! I’m an old guy too, but I would hesitate to criticize products that I haven’t, at least, tested. Your statements make NO sense. Just because you didn’t "fall for the stand alone DAC thing" doesn’t mean it isn’t valid. I did... |
