| Norah Jones Really Lloydc? Have you read the whole thread? You might want to go back to Onhwy61's reference link on 9-7 to the actual quote apparently paraphrased by Schubert which gives it a completely different meaning. Was Schubert intentionally twisting t... | |
| Norah Jones Hey the bottom line is this, music is something that should bring us together. It shouldn't be a blood sport regardless of differences in tastes. We should encourage each other in our individual choices regardless of whether we agree or not. While... | |
| Norah Jones I don't get your point Schubert. You are comparing arguably the greatest jazz singer ever (not from me for sure) with two contemporary singers that would most likely be the first to cringe at your silly comparison. Just because they are successful... | |
| Oppo 105 stock vs Oppo 105 Modwright "Lit up for one listener or system could be too bright and hifi like for another, we all realize how relative and subjective this stuff can be." Hi Charles, yes this is the exact point. The thing of real note to me was the big leap in performance ... | |
| Oppo 105 stock vs Oppo 105 Modwright Charles I too got that the review was very positive and balanced. He really pegged its character, again that is saying that the character of the 95 is similar to the 105 but the latter a significant improvement. I feel the 95 in my system a steal ... | |
| Oppo 105 stock vs Oppo 105 Modwright Actually Jwm I think he covered the bases by using in different systems. My problem with this guy is that he isn't always concise in what he says and I don't always "get" his lingo, "to the left" does that mean lean, fast or warm or what combinati... | |
| Oppo 105 stock vs Oppo 105 Modwright I HAVE directly compared the OPPO 105 to a 95 Modwright in a system somewhat unfamiliar, but the results were clearly evident. The Modwright is just as Talk2me notes, more whole and full and MUCH more dynamic. The mids, particularly vocals took on... | |
| Oldest piece of gear you own Nietzschelover Congragulations, you win!I was wondering when someone would come up with one of those old hand wound Victrola's. Interestingly enough when growning up as a teenager I had a friend who's Dad had a laundry route and on the side collec... | |
| Oldest piece of gear you own Wolf, you DO NOT get the prize. I think Almarg does with his (REL) Precedent FM Tuner, from 1954. My Mac's are not far behind, I am the 3rd owner of them. The guy that originally purchased them bought the 1st one sometime in the 50's, don't know t... | |
| Wow, everything posted for sale is ''light use''?? "It seems to be a law of the universe that all tubes have 200 hours on them"Yes this is really funny but to me what's funnier still is "NOS" tubes with "low hours" being advertised as NOS. There should be two descriptions for the old tubes from da... | |
| Oldest piece of gear you own I still have a pair of McIntosh 60s in really nice shape. I have a hard time letting them go. | |
| When did you start to love music and why? I honestly can't remember a beginning, I just always did as far back as I can remember. It may have and probably did start with my father, quite a good amateur singer, an Irish tenor who modeled himself after John McCormack when he was a boy. His ... | |
| Food or beryllium tweeters for my DeCapo's Thanks for the update on cabling Tubeears. I'm having my buddy drop by the Rube Goldberg jobs sometime next week, my 4th listen, it must mean something. His system just sounds about as good as I've ever heard it and get this, he changed electronic... | |
| Food or beryllium tweeters for my DeCapo's I think Truemaineiac is right Shakey. Hey that's not SO bad, I'm sure there are many that have it worse than that. You might want to keep track of the frequency of your changes going forward though, it seems that your heart for the best of the lot... | |
| Food or beryllium tweeters for my DeCapo's LOL, now Shakey, how many speakers have you gone through in the last 5 years? Great moniker btw, enjoy your new speakers! |
