| Top 3 Headphones I agree with tooblue’s comments about the HiFiman HE1000 V2. I heard them years ago at The Show in Irvine, California. I still remember them as being one of the best sounding phones I had ever heard up to that time. I had planned to find a used pa... | |
| Top 3 Headphones My favorite are my Stax 009s, however, you won’t find them around $1,000. There are better headphones out there, but again you won’t find them around $1,000. For that amount, I suggest you look into the Audeze line. I bought a pair of LCD-XC to se... | |
| Cable for Hifiman HE1000 V2 Headphone "tooblue" said all you need to know. | |
| RCA is loose BNC connectors make a solid connection, and you can find them here on Audiogon. | |
| Epic Popular Songs "Thick As A Brick" by Jethro Tull. | |
| Epic Popular Songs "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot. IMO, most of his songs are like epic poems. Great artist! | |
| Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings? Who hasn't watched "Pawn Stars"? People come in asking the moon for their stuff, and then Rick brings them back to earth. It's not uncommon for someone to ask $25K for a vehicle or some collectable, then settle for $12K after the smoke clears. I'm... | |
| Amoeba Music We Like The Amoeba store, on Telegraph Ave in Berkeley, was always fun to visit. You can find CDs, vinyl and other types of entertainment. Once you complete your shopping, enjoy the sights and sounds on Telegraph. | |
| In praise of the duet. My favorite duet album is "All the Road Running" with Emmylou Harris and Mark Knopfler. You can probably find it on Youtube. It belongs in every collection. | |
| New or legacy Sonus Faber decision help I have had my Sonus Faber Electa Amators since the early 90's, and have never regretted it. We bought them for the looks, but kept them for their sound. They are the only speakers we own. They are very easy to listen to in our small listening room... | |
| What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world? Sonus Faber Extrema. I have owned the Sonus Faber Electa Amators (originals) for thirty years, without regret. If I had it to do over, I would have sprung for the Extremas. | |
| Joni Mitchell remasters on the way I bought the Joni Mitchell Reprise LP remasters last year. I thought they were good, even great, especially "Blue". I also bought the "Live at Carnegie Hall-1969" LP. I thought that one sounded great as well. I have so many different versions of ... | |
| Concerning high end audio names in new cars The Lexus I sold had a Mark Levinson sound system. Before that, I had a Honda with a Bose (I know, I know) sound system. I wasn't impressed with the sound of either. I'm guessing that there would be a serious uncharge for a Burmester system. If I ... | |
| Any good audio stores in Scottsdale? The poster asked for shops in Scottsdale, but I concur that AZ Hi-Fi is your best bet. Glen and Bill are far more down to earth than the folks at LMC. USA Tube is also a good store, but they always seem to be closed when I’m in town. FYI, I think... | |
| Any good audio stores in Scottsdale? LMC is a high-quality, high end store on Scottsdale Road. "Best of everything" gear. You’ll get good service if you arrive in an Aston-Martin. Be sure to bring your credit cards...all of them! |
