| Your last concert was to see who and when? On Thursday night, we saw Gordon Lightfoot give his first San Francisco concert in 30 years. Great concert! What took so long? | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Martin Logan CLX. Once the music started the speakers disappeared, much like Quads. | |
| Great films where music is a central theme. "Harold and Maude" A great Cat Stevens soundtrack. | |
| Taralabs cables I like my Tara Labs cables but the number of responses to this thread is ridiculous! Tara Labs should be proud to have Audiolabyrinth as their spokesperson. He deserves an award for keeping this thread alive. | |
| I would love some suggestions on great acoustic... I saw Gordon Lightfoot live in San Francisco the other night and I'm reminded how much I like his music. What a great body of work! Your description of "flowing and melodic" is his style in a nutshell. | |
| Goldmund Studio - still relevant today? 20+ years ago I found a dealer with two Goldmund tables for sale-a Studio and a Studietto. The dealer offered me either one for $1,000. The Studio had a modded power supply, and the Studietto was stock. I chose the Studietto, my mistake. I sold it... | |
| Learning from him No more coffee for this guy!! But seriously, isn't there a filter for this sort of thing? This belongs on some other forum, or maybe not. | |
| is buying used Mcintosh equipment online bad idea? Buying anything used is a gamble, even McIntosh. I have three Mac pieces in my history. The first, an MX-130 preamp (bought on Audiogon) arrived with a low-level hum that does not come through the speakers. The seller included a McIntosh UR12 touc... | |
| Audiogon suggestion box I empathize with your experience and know it is frustrating. However, there is no requirement that offers below the asking price be answered. The dream of buying something you want below the asking price is universal, and calling you a "flea marke... | |
| Diminishing Interest in POP. I hate earworms I read the first line of your post and, FWIW, I thought I had written it. Now in my sixties, and considering my investment in stereo equipment and music, I try to listen to music every chance I get. However, I feel a little ridiculous when I put o... | |
| The best Standmount Loudspeaker $6k or under Was there a question in your post? If you had included a picture it would an advertisement, or a review. You are obviously happy with your purchase. | |
| The Plangent Process playback system? Huh? It's becoming a familiar story. Take the back catalog of the most popular artists, claim to re-mix or remaster it, and roll it out to a public that is hungry for something new from their favorite artists. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, who's next? Wel... | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? The simple answer to this post, if there is one, is that McIntosh equipment is a good hedge against inflation. Check out the Audiogon listings and count how many McIntosh pieces are selling at, near, or even more than new. The bonus is that for th... | |
| I would love some suggestions on great acoustic... Jorma Kaukonen's (former Jefferson Airplane member) "Blue Country Heart" is acoustic guitar, with voice. Listen and decide. It sounds like your style, it works for me. | |
| Sony ES vs Rotel Obviously, this is a very subjective question. For sound quality from source components, I prefer Sony ES over Rotel. My perception of Rotel has always been "a quality product at a real world price," similar to NAD. That's not a negative, but for ... |
