| Getting into tubes The Atmas-phere is a great choice. Another integrated I recently heard with a pair of 12k monitors that made them sing was the new Quicksilver. 20 watts should work quite nicely with those speakers in that room of yours. Priced right at 1995.00. I... | |
| Sister's wants music system without the hassles! Audiotroy, there is a fine line between offering help and blatant business opportunism. It seems you have a problem with that distinction and your tactics are becoming a distraction. | |
| Quincy Jones Interview Great response Chayro, that is just the point, Q's opinions are just that and to read into it more than what it was to me is missing the point. To me, at least it was a series of events that happened and he witnessed. Really, what does an 85 year ... | |
| Quincy Jones Interview +1 onhwy61, I am growing weary of seeing some get a free pass time after time, It's disheartening. | |
| Quincy Jones Interview Thanks for your perspective Bdp24, but REALLY, the totality of Quincy's work corny? You protest too much. We are of the same generation and love a lot of the same stuff but I would NEVER say that Quincy Jones is anything less than a totally ser... | |
| Quincy Jones Interview I would most certainly be interested in his take on Prince. Can anyone imagine a musicican that could intimidate Prince? Really appreciate his recognition of a lot of the latin music and rhytums so often overlooked in our culture. This guy is a re... | |
| You cable haters please DO this. Don’t you just love all these cable threads? | |
| New system has fatiguing, harsh high frequency sounds. How to fix? I agree with Shadorne. Inexpensive receivers have compromised power supplies and current delivery as also stated. It would be my first likely culprit but there may be other issues as well with room and reflection problems that might be mitigated/i... | |
| Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again... I get the program Geoff loud and clear. What isn't clear because it hasn't been made clear is when the warranty clock started and when the fuses blew other than immediately upon installation. Bottom line is IF the tube purchased is the same value ... | |
| Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again... Hey Geoff check the op opening to the thread and the subsequent post by the op that it takes 30 days to ship to Equador, duh. Besides you miss the point which is hardly unusual for you. | |
| Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again... Maybe Audio Horizons might just practice a bit of "love" as well. No warranty on a 138.00 fuse and a cheerful and presumably empathetic offer to "repair" for the generous price of 70.00 each plus shipping? Some of us clearly get it Geoff. You say... | |
| Recordings with incredible effects or imaging that we may not know about Off the top of my head when this topic arises as it has over the years the single recording that pops into my head for sound effects and multitracked vocals "I'm not in love" by 10 cc. I have a Japanese Shim recording on a sampler and it is quite... | |
| Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again... I'm with you Viridian. A fuse has a designed purpose. If it is doing anything less than that, faulty design for example what exactly is the point, improved sound at the possible risk of equipment damage? | |
| If you like Schubert... Thanks for the recommendation, don't have a copy of any of his trios but for sure a Schubert fan of his quartets and leiders. | |
| Why is it so easy to tell the difference between live and recorded music? I totally agree with everything Trelja notes particularly tone/ timbre, it's always been and continues to be so obvious to me. I find it remarkable how good recorded can get considering all the challenges posed. To me what is most important is con... |
