| Sgt.Pepper special on PBS Great special, a must see. Agree with bdp24 though. While Sgt Pepper can certainly stand on it's own merits as a seminal moment in pop music the fact that the influence of Brian Wilson and his pet sounds project was not mentioned as a profound inf... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener "The #1 benefit of adding a high quality subwoofer to your system is not how it further extends the bass response, but how it can dramatically improve the sound of your existing power amp and main speakers from the midrange on up."Amen to the abov... | |
| Glare on Choral recordings, classical vocals Schubert, I"ve read many of the same comments but in my experience, 10 years, not the case, quite to the contrary. It all depends on all the factors that are always in play in many of these threads regarding audio, room, matching components and la... | |
| Audiophiles are not alone "Audiophiles are not alone"Agreed, which is to say that obsessive compulsive behavior and dissecting differences often misses the point to folks that might stare in wonderment as to "why can't they just see the forest and enjoy it for what it is?... | |
| Glare on Choral recordings, classical vocals "I've noticed that audiophiles and reviewers seldom write about choral music. Is it because they don't like choral music, or is it because it is just really difficult to record choirs well, therefore making choral music a poor choice to show o... | |
| DO NOT SELL OR BUY FROM THAILAND Sorry talk2me, the stealth cables ARE a ripoff as far as I'm concerned. I listened to 3 beta pair in my system many years back loaned to me by an audio friend for my thoughts, 5k a pair at the time. Plenty of detail but devoid of any musicality, a... | |
| Conrad Johnson Classic Sixty I am using Quicksilver Silver 88s (no longer made) but I would consider trying the mono 120's at about 4K with KT150 tubes with your CJ Classic preamp. I have listened to 5 different preamps in my system with the Quicksilvers, currently a highly u... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of tubes? Anyone with experience positive or negative? I am aware of at least 2 speaker manufacturers in the past and present that cryo(ed) the internal components/wires of their speakers. I can't imagine it is based on anything other than perceived improvement or possibly for the reason given by Gle... | |
| Best one step liquid record cleaner.??? Thanks for the link on the Hoffman forum Glennewdick, a lot of very good information. | |
| DO NOT SELL OR BUY FROM THAILAND Thanks Sabai, I totally agree but apparently was unclear in my first response, oh well. | |
| DO NOT SELL OR BUY FROM THAILAND Why is Thailand worse than anywhere else? Precisely, exactly my point, the general labeling of a people/country as being intrinsically dishonest as inferred by the op, what am I not making clear? I am unclear on your point Sabai, it seems we are i... | |
| DO NOT SELL OR BUY FROM THAILAND +1 Kinghifi,Tony this isn’t about getting "ripped off" and him being understandably upset, it’s about Thailand buyers/people are dishonest, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! What is so hard to understand about that? The reason that this thread has as many r... | |
| DO NOT SELL OR BUY FROM THAILAND Out of curiosity Talk2me, you indicate you were "warned" not to sell to folks from Thailand (" You have been warned, as I did not heed this warning,") So are we to understand that someone(s) told you that folks from Thailand are scammers? I am uns... | |
| thinking of switching from conrad johnson...... Maybe stock there would be notable rollout. Upgrade the coupling caps with cutf v-caps, all resistors and wire in the signal path and replace the diodes, and you might just ask, What rolloff? Oh not to say all the romance is lost but sure a lot mo... | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? Well lowtunes, i’m not going to dispute your choice but I also lived for a few years with a ARC d115 mk2, very nice as well and I loved the mono M100s from that Era too. It isn’t necessarily about individual components but putting together compone... |
