| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? I went to the record store on Friday and bought both "My Life" and "Infamous Angel" by Iris Dement. Her voice is sweet and her lyrics are sentimental. She reminds me of Emmylou Harris and Nanci Griffith. I like her sound and will just ignore her p... | |
| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? bdp24,"My Life" is the one I have written down. Thanks for putting me on to Iris Dement. Your original post reminds me of one of my favorite artists, Natalie Merchant. While I have seen her live several times, and have every record she has made (w... | |
| Speakers for the deck- okay to discuss here? You’re unlikely to get a palpable soundstage with speakers out on the deck so I think a set of those composite JBLs will work fine. Also, you won’t need to make an appointment with a "By Appointment Only" audio salon, just drop into any Best Buy t... | |
| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? Candidly, I have heard her name but not her music. You mentioned some of my favorite performers: Natalie Merchant; David Byrne; Emmylou Harris, and Joan Osborne. I’ve written her name down and will look her up next time I’m in the record store. Yo... | |

| Quest to find a decent sounding ,picture Blu-ray player I’m sure there are lots of good choices these days for a "...decent sounding, picture Blu-ray player." Since your budget seems to be around $1K, I have another suggestion. The Pioneer BDP-09 BluRay player was introduced several years ago at $2200.... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Johnny Ray- "Greatest Songs" Really like this CD. Thanks Goodwill store! | |
| Good headphone amplifier I have Audeze LCD-XC headphones. I drive them with a couple of DACs, but the one I like the best is my Benchmark DAC1. You can find newer versions of the Benchmark (DAC2, retails for $2K) pre-owned for around $1K. You'll need to look hard to find ... | |
| This forum is antiquated. "The forum is rife with Fox News keyboard warriors calling people communists and fascists while mocking and deriding anything that threatens their fragile sense of racial superiority. The rising tide of right wing paranoid talking points on this f... | |
| How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to? Several months ago, I bought a pre-owned higher end turntable. I sold most of my records when I sold my last turntable a couple of years ago. I have around 250 records now, mostly reissues. I'm still working my way through the ones I bought recent... | |
| Nakamichi RX-505 and some nice tapes for it After all these years, I'm actually thinking about selling my Nakamichi RX-505. It was serviced a few years ago by Willy Hermann. It will go with a couple hundred 60's and 70's commercially-made cassettes. I have always loved the cassette format b... | |

| This forum is antiquated. Simple solution: If you don't like it here, go somewhere else. Or, you can just stay here and insult this forum and everyone on it. You decide! | |
| What's In Your Tape Cassette Deck Tonight? Willy Hermann has gone through each of my three Nakamichi cassette decks: ZX-9; RX-505; CR-7A. As you would expect, they all have sounded amazing after being serviced by Willy. About five years ago, I bought a Nak Dragon from Willy. He called me a... |
