| New Sonus Faber Electa Amator 3...anybody heard these yet? I’m not surprised. I have owned the original SF Electa Amators since the early 90’s and they still sound great. They feature the famous Dynaudio Esotar tweeter. The second version added a rear-firing woofer, and now there are apparently three in t... | |
| Dylan Looking for Dylan tickets online, I learned that “There are no concert dates scheduled in your area.” Oh well. Looks like most of the dates next year are in Europe. I can’t get upset. For my money, I hope Bob (yes, just Bob) stays forever young an... | |
| Dylan “A living legend” is the best description of Bob Dylan. I’m a huge fan! I have seen him twice in Berkeley...once at the Berkeley Community Theatre, and at once The Greek. Always gives you your money’s worth. You have to listen closely to the words... | |
| Arizona Audiofile Club I couldn’t make it either. I guess I’ll have to wait until next year. In the meantime, I’ll check out the Arizona Audiophile Club. | |
| Silver cables Nice advertisement (with testimonial), and without all those annoying fees. Look for Kimber Kable KCAG interconnects. Buy them used! | |
| NAD x Classé If it were me, I’d buy the Classe but I'm sure you'll be hearing from the NAD fans. | |
| Stereophile Magazine question. Really...$10 for a year, and you’re asking for input? Check with your Financial Advisor. IMO, it’s worth the money. I have been a subscriber for years! | |
| Your Forever Pieces? What and Why? Stax tube-driven headphones (Lambda Signature and 009 phones); Sonus Faber Electa Amator speakers, and Nakamichi cassette deck (RX-505). All owned (except Stax 009s) since the early 90's. | |
| Toploading CD transports recommendations I have a Consonance Droplet 5.0 CD player. I paid $900 for it used. I never see them for sale. It is top loading, and continues to operate as designed. I also have an Oppo 105D, and it also works fine. | |
| Turning off tube preamp first sends solid state amp into protection? To avoid the "pop" I had become familiar with, I have started to turn on the solid state power amp well before I turn on my tube preamp. Is it the right sequence? Really don't know but I don't get that pop anymore. | |
| Wadia Transport Service I have wanted a Wadia WT-2000 ever since I saw one more than 20 years ago. I see them for sale pretty frequently. Your post reminds me why I haven't jumped on one. Everything wears out eventually. | |
| Arizona Audiofile Club Audiophiles in Arizona...really? I'll plan to stop by. Only a two hour window. Now I'm seeing it. I assume that's a Phoenix address. | |
| Spam threads gone wild... They’re gone now, but early this morning someone posted several threads that were obviously spam. I clicked on one, offering a free full-length movie, "Bohemian Rhapsody." It had already been shut down by the moderator, as had many of the others. ... | |
| Any Mark Knopfler fans out there? What’s not to like? I’m a big fan. I agree, "All the Road Running" is probably my favorite album. I do like his work with Dire Straits, as well! Like Jackson Browne, you won't go wrong buying any of his albums. | |
| What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far? Reading the above posts, I was reminded of one memorable concert in 1973. It was Elton John at the Hollywood Bowl. Elton was introduced by Linda Lovelace (yes, that Linda Lovelace). When they opened the deck of his grand piano, doves flew out. Ver... |
