| How good is the Marantz SA-7S1? Baranyi,So, what is your verdict on the Marantz? Did the Stibbert ultimately win out? | |
| choice of pre amp Spend a little time reading the Supratek and/or Audio Horizons threads. These threads are long and enthusiastic for a good reason, and you can get either in your price range. Audio Horizons offers a thirty day audition, and you can order the pream... | |
| Your First Concert was..... Fleetwood Mac opening for the Eagles, 1976. I was 14. I may never have loved anyone so desperately as I loved Stevie Nicks in those days. Sigh.... And what was that funny smell that wafted up in little mushroom clouds all around the coliseum when ... | |
| Anyone got a "Best of" jazz CDs for 2007? The Village Voice has a very nice list, including reissues:http://www.villagevoice.com/music/0801,davis,78767,22.html | |
| What's your favorite remake of a song Jimi Hendrix' version of "All Along The Watchtower" probably surpasses Dylan, IMHO. | |
| Robert & Alison-Raising Sand Well, I like it just fine. Yes, it takes some getting used to, especially if you are expecting the sonics to approximate those on the Alison Krauss/Union Station albums, but it has a sort of haunting, ethereal quality that grew on me after a few p... | |
| Angriest Lyric/Vocal The Sex Pistols' "Never Mind The Bollocks..."One long, angry snarl from start to finish. | |
| KAB modded Technics 1210 Yes, I am wondering the same thing. I bought a vanilla SL-1210 with the intent of adding the KAB mods later, but have enjoyed it so much I haven't gotten around to it yet. | |

| Most Influential American Musician of All Time? Armstrong, Chuck Berry, and Hank Williams | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier The enthusiastic commentary on this preamp has been fun to read. How many of you have tried the phono stage? Is it similarly glorious? | |
| Best short-lived band? The Rolling Stones(just kidding)Never mind the bollocks, how about the Sex Pistols? Or the Gram Parsons-era Flying Burrito Brothers? | |
| Pulitzer Prize for Music 2007 For me, jazz over classical every time. Congrats to Coleman, a true visionary who continues to produce vital music as he approaches 80 years of age. Sound Grammar is a stunning album. Coltrane, of course, is a legend. A great year for the Pulitzer... | |
| music these days.... Sad to say, Richard Brautigan committed suicide in the mid 1980s. I love all of his books, novels and poetry alike. Most famous, probably "Troutfishing In America," but also check out the more obscure, such as "Willard and His Bowling Trophies." A... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century As far as I know, no one has suggested that the Supratek is "beyond criticism." It is simply a preamp that very many audiophiles have bought and now consider the "crown jewel" in their systems because they find it pleasing to their ears. Maril555,... |
