| Why no reviews of the Magnepan 3.7 in Stereophile Read the review in The Absolute Sound's July/August, 2011edition if it will help in your buying decision. Does itreally matter if there are ads for it in Stereophile? | |
| Cassette Deck?? Just for the record, my comment that a $7-$10 Goodwill deckwill sound as good as a Nakamichi was a facetious comment. I love my Nakamichi decks. They'll bury them with me. Longlive analog! | |
| Cassette Deck?? Sure, those $7-$10 Goodwill cassette decks should sound just as good as a Nakamichi? I'd go with that! | |
| Cassette Deck?? Sorry to disagree, but don't avoid Nakamichi. I have threeand thousands of cassettes to go with them. Yes, I occasionally get one that won't play well, but I usuallyblame the age or condition of the cassette, not the Nak. Spend a few bucks and get... | |
| The Best Audiophile Earphones headphones and Amp This is the thread that never stops. I always laugh when I see any mention of Schiit Audio. Like so many products, it probably has a signature sound. So...what do people say when they hear it? "WOW! This sounds like Schiit." | |
| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? I agree with your assessment about tuners. Unless it includes Sirius/XM capability, it's likely only going togather dust in a closet or on a shelf. Who wouldn't toywith the idea of buying an MR78, Marantz 10B or any Sequerra tuner? But you have to... | |
| Headphone amp and headphones... ? Jax2- The Stax headphones I'm using today are the Lambda Signatures with an SRM-T1S driver unit. I'm sure that I'mbiased, but if anyone heard these they couldn't be happywith anything less. They're that good! They truly sound like you're listening... | |
| Paul Simon: So Beautiful or So What We saw Paul Simon years ago on the "Born at the Right Time"tour in Oakland. It was a great show and we had great seats so the sound was amazing. I like his new album alot. The Fox Theatre in Oakland is one of the best places ever to attend a conce... | |
| Pioneer BDP-09FD As Good As They Say On Stereo? I own the Pioneer BDP-09FD and find that the sound is every bit the equal of any of my Sony players. I am not a magazine reviewer, nor have I compared it to a Wadia or MBL player, but to my ears (which still work very well)the Pioneer sounds wonde... | |
| 12AX7 tubes for Music Reference RM-10 I decided to try tubes in a small way. I boughta tube-driven Stax headphone system. Yes, I like it a lot. So, mynext step will be to buy a McIntosh 275 MkV. If it sounds as good as the Stax, I'll be a convert. | |
| Bruce at The Super Bowl.... I just revisited this thread and read the responses. Many are right, Bruce has always tried to write like Dylan, andhe just isn't! Noone is. However, to say that Springsteen'sname should not be used in the same sentence (as Audiofeilsaid) as Dylan... | |
| headphone amp question There's a Headroom Max unit available here today that would be hard to beat, even at $700. And NO, I'm not theseller. | |
| Best sounding MFSL LP I agree with Slaw-"Ziggy Stardust" is great. Then again, itwould sound good even on a wax cylinder. One of my favorites is Al Stewart's "Year of the Cat". One more-"Ricki Lee Jones," self-titled first album. | |
| Triplanar VII and Benz LP-S That's why I love to read these threads; you learn what to consider buying, and what to AVOID buying. | |
| SONY SCD-1 CD/SACD Player Thank you for posting this thread. I had considered buying an SCD-1 or an SCD-777 but this thread, and others beforeit, have convinced me to look elsewhere. I currently have aCDP-R1/DAS-R1 combo without any issues. Despite the "Builtlike a tank" a... |
