| Bela Fleck and the Flecktones "Flight of the Cosmos Hippo" is their audiophile warhorse from the early part of the last decade. | |
| What time do you wear? Seiko you'll have to ask my wife for the details as to which model. It seems every year I get a new one since I'm hard on watches. She doesn't want any excuses from me about my "timing". | |
| MIT Tube Cables and Solid State Amps? Well Joe I got the 770's and they improve the sound in ALL parameters over the 750's in my above post by a not too subtle margin. These cables are definitely staying. | |
| Ken Burns' JAZZ starts Monday on PBS! I am too Trelja I just hope that MY heros (Armstrong is certainly one of them) are given their due. | |
| What is your opinion for MIT850 shotgun? Hi-Fi, I find your observations the opposite of mine except for the warm part. I just purchased a pair of 770 Reference 2 tube cables and found an improvement on image focus and air, soundstaging, timbre accuracy and BASS definition (that's right)... | |
| Ken Burns' JAZZ starts Monday on PBS! Well if Marsalis is going to be the main commentator you can bet there will be more than a fair share devoted to Satchmo, his hero. Time Magazine had an article on the series and noted that several very important jazz figures were given scant cove... | |
| The Beatles Nice Post Tom. It is funny to me however that no one in this thread mentions the one American group at the time that rivaled the early Beatles and later influenced them. The first group I REALLY loved and have become an icon in their own right. Th... | |
| Best Holiday CDs? I've got one more. It came in after x-mas but it is superb. A Morman Tabernacle Choir X-mas with Orchestra at Temple Square. Recorded in March of 2000 on Telarc. Traditional and some pieces I haven't heard. Very good arrangements. The sound is a b... | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? You know Doug I think maybe it comes down more to taste and whatÂ’s important to the individual listener. I remember back when I owned my last ss amp, a Threshold S300. Within 2 years of purchasing that amp, I bought a used pair of McIntosh MC-60's... | |
| The Beatles I probably did in my Dad's old 1950 Mercury but I wasn't listening to sound quality just along for the ride in those long days gone bye bye. I do however remember reading in an auto magazine several years back about some guy that had over 50K(!!) ... | |
| The Beatles Hey Shubertmaniac that '63 Plymouth Fury wasn't named "Christine" was it? Nice post. | |
| Horrific Confession and Question I would guess from some of the "True Confessions" above that for casual listening, which is what most people do, it isn't so important what you listen through so long as you are enjoying the music. So far as the Bose products go, I for one don't u... | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? Boy Craig you sure are a tough nut to crack! What's it gone to take with you? The things that tubes definitively do better IMveryHO MUCH better,is lower volume listening, that is preserve the natural ambient detail, air and dynamics of the music y... | |
| Speaker Cable Suggestions? Rick based on your speakers and 2 cable choices all of which I am familiar with, other than the amp, I would think that the Analysis Plus Oval 9's MAY work better in your system. As Sean stated the MIT's and AP are at different ends of the tonal s... |
