| Tom Russell Anyone? Also agree.For me, Borderland is one of the top five best albums no one has given a listen to. Beyond that, it's great for showing off the low frequency capability of one's system, in addition to being an overall terrific sounding recording.Someti... | |
| Band with highest success/talent ratio? Have to agree with those who mentioned the Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, Def Leppard, Boston, and Bon Jovi.I can't believe no one mentioned Robert Palmer. He seems to be the definition of this list.I'll also add:Judas PriestScorpionsDevoREO Spe... | |
| VTI audio rack, any good? I have a VTI rack that my wife uses for her tv and sound system. Regardless of the cost, I'd definitely rate the one we own as low-end of the high-end. A more than nice rack for the non-audiophile, with very strong (speaking from personal experien... | |
| Vandersteen 4 I've heard Vinh's (Vtvu) Vandersteen 4s numerous times. Definitely a product to consider for someone in the market for a larger loudspeaker. Factor in the depreciation I've seen on these, and it's truly an incredible bargain. | |
| A good Preamp for ST70 Hoopster, your opinion is at least as valid as anyone else's.I also like the suggestion from Gopher regarding the EE Minimax.Personally, I even get great results using a CD player (including my Dynaco CDV-2) going straight into my ST70. In my seco... | |
| A good Preamp for ST70 Don't skimp on a preamp. The ST70 is a far better component than most realize today. Using something too downmarket will show up as the obvious weak link in the chain, and hamstring the ST70 from giving you all it has. The Audio Electronic Supply ... | |
| Addiction to Brand In practice, Jadis. Own three of their integrateds.In theory, Audio Note. Every time I hear their stuff, I feel like I'm closer to music than with most any other brand I've come across. While I own an AN CD player, given my enthusiasm, you'd expec... | |
| What can you tell me about Focus Audio? Though I'm late to this thread, I've heard them on various occasions, and have always been more than impressed. Since my experience is that finding a good loudspeaker is so very difficult, that's high praise. | |
| Merlin TSM with Shindo 25 watt amp The Merlin VSMs are more far more efficient than most people realize. Compared to my 96 db sensitive Horning Perikles backloaded horns using Lowther DX-2 drivers, you definitely have to go up a click or two on the volume dial, but it's surprising ... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Kr4, "I have never understood that."Amen! | |
| Best surprisingly good value component Unfortunately, most people will never understand how right Bojack is regarding the Fried A/3. I have a pair of A/6, which were substantially enlarged, but retain the same character. Incredible speakers that are at least as good as current ANY spea... | |
| To mod or not to mod a Sony SCD1 That's very good insight, Edorr. Thank you! | |
| What credit cards do you use? Michael, I'll put it this way. When I dealt with our favorite guy to buy my first Jadis, he told me there were no refunds - I know this will shock you. So, I called American Express, and they told me not to worry about it. By using the card, my pu... | |
| Is Stereophile seeking a new reader demographic? Of late, there has most definitely been a concerted effort to increase subscription rates. I wonder what the impetus is behind this. Is it the there someone new at the magazine who is redoubling their work in seeing business, is the parent company... | |
| Help. JSE Infinite Slope speakers????? I'm glad you've initiated this discussion, Martin. Thank you for that! It's good to have the products of a more sane day of high-end audio reenter our memory.How do you like the JSE model you own? Are you intent on keeping them over the long term,... |
