| "New" Beatles Mono Catalog Release on 180gr Vinyl Obviously, my posting above concerns the Beatles mono reissues. I used a stereo cartridge which may be to blame. However, I just wasn't impressed. | |
| "New" Beatles Mono Catalog Release on 180gr Vinyl IMO, if you have one mono box set, you (might as well) have them all. I took the bait and bought a few mono reissues to see what all the fuss was about. Sorry, but I wasn't impressed. I sold them for what I paid for them, and I'm content to listen... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? First things first. Enough with the political rants. If you want to talk politics, go to another forum!The reason the audio market is down is the same reason the music business is down, i.e. saturation. Are there any boomers left that haven't asse... | |
| OPPO BLUE RAY TRANSPORT. I googled it and found almost everything about it, except the price. Do you know what it sells for? At less than ten pounds, it's a little lightweight for a transport. My Oppo 105D seems to weight about twice that. I'm very happy with the 105D but... | |
| VPI TNT Turntables FWIW, I found this posting timely and informative. I just sold my oversize direct-drive Luxman. I'm looking for a VPI (likely a TNT) with a high quality arm. The reason is simple: if it need repair or tweaks, I'm sure I can locate them online. The... | |
| End of the line products. FWIW, my (original) Sonus Faber Electa Amator speakers, and my Stax headphones (various models, currently 009s). I have had the speakers since new, about 25 years. The Stax really are the "End of the Line" as they are the current top of the Stax l... | |
| Jaw Dropping I think we get that! | |
| Jaw Dropping "Very hot" is one thing, $20,000 is another. Even if it was on 200 gram, solid 24K gold, it wouldn't be worth $20,000. Who comes up with this stuff? | |
| Headphone help... with more details :-) I remember the Yamaha YHD-1 headphones as my favorite, many years ago. I still have the earpieces but the headband disintegrated prematurely. Since then, I have moved on to the Stax family. It doesn't sound as if you are in the market for megabuck... | |
| Jaw Dropping My only question is...Why? | |
| Jaw Dropping If by "Jaw Dropping," you mean ridiculous...I agree! | |
| Best sounding universal player (CD, DVD-A, SACD) It's hard to pick the "best" universal player. You don't specify your price range so I guess that the sky's the limit. Dollar for dollar, you would be hard pressed to beat the Oppo 105D (it plays everything). If that's too mundane for you, then I ... | |
| Your most played music/song Funny you would ask. I just finished commenting on an old thread about Mark Knopfler's "All the Road Running." I was surprised to read that some didn't like it. It has become one of my go-to CDs, out of a large collection. I think Emmylou Harris' ... | |
| All the Roadrunning by Mark Knopfler and Emmy Lou I like this CD so much that I will look into the DVD. I'm surprised at the negative comments about "All the Road Running." It must be true that one man's trash is another man's treasure. Try listening to a few cuts on YouTube. If you like Mark Kno... | |
| System synergy or mix and match ptrck887,BTW, my source piece is a stock Oppo 105D. Our systems are similar. |
