| Amy Winehouse.RIP "The best way to stop the massive tragedy of drug addiction would be to secure our border with Mexico and start eradicating poppies in Afghanistan."Wrong, wrong, wrong. The ONLY way to stop the tragedy of drug addiction is to STOP DEMAND, EDUCATIO... | |
| worse entertainer or performer of all time?? She's a woman Levy03, those creatures that seem to be the main fans of Celine. It isn't her voice that bothers me, she really can sing, it is the over production and sanguine blandness in her style that turns me off. My wife loves her as well. Sam... | |
| Amy Winehouse.RIP "A complete fool at best"Surely you don't mean this Glory, it was an impulsive response, right? Have you never been touched by loss of a loved one in such a tragic manner or even under normal circumstances? If not you have been truly blessed and m... | |
| worse entertainer or performer of all time?? Sometimes it is hard to "get" music until you have been exposed to the culture and language. I'll never forget the sounds I first heard when I visited Brazil the first time. It never left me and has only grown. There is a melancoly texture to the ... | |
| worse entertainer or performer of all time?? I just found this thread. All I can say is, tough crowd! Unsound, I recently heard Cyndi Lauper do a remake of Etta James' "At Last", don't recall the album, recent I believe but I was shocked. I would have never guessed it was her in 100 years. F... | |
| Replacing The Stock EH 6SN7 Tubes For Cary SLP 05 I would highly recommend the Sophia Electric if you DON'T want euphonic, warm but DO want balanced, accurate top to bottom sound with superb placement, staging and dynamic capabilities, I suspect due to the careful matching that you are paying for... | |
| Can any preamps for $2-3k touch Auregies-L? Gopher I can't answer your question as to whether a 2-3K pre-amp with phono can touch your beloved Shindo but I can make a recommendation, the "Preamp Deal of the Century" Supratek Syrah used or Chenin new in this range. Full function with plenty ... | |
| Gallo 3.5 vs Merlin VSM-MXe The VSM can sound lean but with careful matching this can be ELIMINATED, but maybe not enough for some tastes. I have owned the VSM-M for 10 years and do not note any leanness at any frequency but it hasn't always been the case. I tend to believe ... | |
| Which SACD of Jazz at the Pawnshop sounds better? chazro you are right, of course not all the GRP and Chesky's are bad but there is plenty of mediocrity and some that are down right dogs on both labels, I own some and can attest to it first hand. I've personally thought of JATP for what it is, a ... | |
| Which SACD of Jazz at the Pawnshop sounds better? JATP is far from the worst example of mediocre jazz. At least it is a great recording if rather tame if not lame, certainly not so bad if not for the sophisticated jazz listener, the guys that can listen to Coltrane for 8 hrs straight without a br... | |
| Cary 805s or Atma Sphere M60s? Pubul57 I listened to the Joule with a Cat SL1 pre-amp. My impressions were the same as Honest1, very rich to the point of euphonic but not at all in a negative way. I really loved the upper frequency extension and air presented by the Joule. Ther... | |
| Cary 805s or Atma Sphere M60s? I feel Xronx sums up what some will love about the OTL presentation and others will not. To my ears OTLs matched with the proper load get closer to the sound of live music. Less additive richness and flavor. Some will like this others will not but... | |
| David Berning Quadrature Z or Vitus SS-101 Rtn1, your comments are very interesting to say the least. I have never heard either of your observations attributed to the zotl amps by Berning. Must have been some other issue. I own the zh270 which is less refined than the quadratures and the a... | |
| David Berning Quadrature Z or Vitus SS-101 I doubt too many can help with your inquiry. In any case you´re going to get you answer soon enough. I wish I were so blessed as to have such products to choose from. Please do keep us posted of your impressions, I´m sure many will be paying atten... | |
| Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End I would tend to agree with Audiofeil and Peterayer´s observations. It would seem the ´size` of the voice would correlate more to mic placement more than anything else, at least that is my experience or what I perceive. That space and silence betwe... |
