| Guitar Alphabet. Please fill out unused letters... Pere Ubu won't qualify, but what about James "Blood" Ulmer? As for Q, add Robert Quine, an indie-rock legend who has played on (and defined) Richard Hell, Lou Reed, Matthew Sweet and others' records.Verlaine, Tom (Television and solo).Zoom, Billy ... | |
| "RECORDING OF THE WEEK"????? I nominate the remastered and rereleased double CD "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," featuring the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Mother Maybelle Carter, Earl Scruggs, Doc Watson, and many others. This super-session, now nearly 30 years old, is an absolute ... | |
| Sim Eclipse cd or Emc1.cd player which one Ulrikgm,I currently have the EMC-1 and am curious as to your perception that the Capitole's performance is a significant improvement over this player. What do you perceive as the big differences? I'd love to be in a position to conduct an A/B comp... | |
| Ribbon Tweeters I would encourage you to go ahead and audition the Piegas. I just bought the P10s and they are truly wonderful speakers. Better still, they are said to improve substantially after 300-400 hours of burn-in. If there is a better speaker at this pric... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I'm in the same boat as Fiddler. Can't wait to get the Syrah and see how it sounds on my new Piega P10s. Should be fun times ahead! | |
| Any Piega p 10 users out there? Hey Sanibelsound,Can you tell us where the show in Greensboro will be, and where exactly? I live in North Carolina and might be able to go down for it. Is there a Piega dealer in North Carolina? | |
| Any Piega p 10 users out there? Thanks for the reply, Jtinn. Would anyone care to sound off on the sonic differences between the P10 and P8? One would assume the P10 just does more of the same type of thing the P8 does (more resolving, better bass extension, etc.), but is the di... | |
| Any Piega p 10 users out there? Any opinions on how the Bel Canto EVO 200.2 might sound on them, especially if paired with a nice tube preamp? What about running two of them as mono blocks? | |
| Raining on My Parade... Thanks for the suggestions, folks, and the humor. In this hobby, you have to smile sometimes when things go from bad to weird. I have tried a few different things, including inserting an old JVC turntable and Audio Technica cartridge into the syst... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Good answer, Fiddler. Since I live in the audio hinterlands, I have bought virtually every bit of my system (except for the speakers) as a result of research I have done on this site and by contacting members I trust. So far so good. Even though I... | |
| Anyone familiar with "White Stripes" ??? Hey, Sean. Nice call on the Kinks' influence. It's definitely in there. Fujindemon has it right. There are three albums and scads of singles and bootlegs out there (check on eBay), the latter of which are now pretty pricey as their cult following ... | |
| I am having technical problems w/ Audiogon-help Good idea, Sean. I am evidently having the same problem as Bryan1, and I have no idea why. I'll try the hotmail solution. Thanks for the suggestion... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century OK, BWhite, where are you? After reading your marvelous review of premium CD players in another thread and also reading your rave review of the Supratek preamps in yet another, I'm sure we would all be grateful for a similar "shootout" here betwee... | |
| Here's How I Make My Equipment Racks I figured it out. Thanks, Ohlala. | |
| Here's How I Make My Equipment Racks What a GREAT thread to stumble upon when you're thinking of different alternatives in setting up a new turntable rig, as I am. I had been thinking about buying another Atlantis, as my Reference 5-shelf is already full. I love the IKEA plan, which ... |
