| A perfect song? What are your choices? "Peg" by Steely Dan. | |
| What are your favorite recordings that sound best to you? Steely Dan, Aja. Frank Sinatra and Count Basie, It Might as Well Be Swing. Isabelle Faust, Bach Sonatas and Partitas Jethro Tull, Aqualung, Steven Wilson mix. The list goes on forever. | |
| Great song to test bass "Teen Town" by Weather Report, from Heavy Weather, Jaco Pastorious on electric Fender fretless. | |
| What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey? WRAS, the 100k watt student-run radio station of GSU in Atlanta. Now it's just another useless NPR outlet here, duplicating the one at 90.1, WABE, formerly the classical station. Used to love listening to "My Word" on WABE on Saturdays as I was ba... | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? I have a Linn Mimik II and a Quad 99, both of which give my LP12 good competition. | |
| CD Player Recommendations… Quad 99 CDP. | |
| What Integrated Amp do You use Olive Naim Nait 2. A killer little amp. | |
| Best debut album Man, you had it right with your own number one: Can't Buy a Thrill. And you didn't ask but, Best album of all time? Aja. | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? My vote would be a Linn Mimik II, which is well below your budget. I have two of them, one in an all-Linn system, and one in a Naim system, and they are still, after many years, powering right along, and sound better than flac files. | |
| Beginner Audiophile. How to chose a right amp? Recommendation for my setup? If you are looking to spend under a thousand you'd be hard-pressed to do better than a Naim NAP 100. | |
| Most annoying song, period. This thread is obviously fake news, since neither "Blinded by the Light" nor "Werewolves of London" is anywhere to be seen. | |
| Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank I will add my vote for signalcable.com. Very reasonable, made to spec, in-home trials. Impossible to go wrong. I added his top end power cable to my B&W 800ASW and the improvement was instantaneous and dramatic. And as to the other question, y... | |
| One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All.... For solid state, if I had the scratch, I'd go with Naim S1's. But then, that's because I am a Naim guy. There's a Parasound guy on this thread. More power to hm, so to speak. Parasound has never sounded good to me personally, though, and that's wh... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System If you want a really excellent cable for very little money then check out Frank's work at Signal Cable (and no I don't work for him, I'm just a loyal customer). My system is not in a league with yours (Naim Nait 2, Linn LP12, Kudos tuner, Mimik II... |
