| Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101 I'll be interested in your findings. I recently acquired an RI-101 Mk2 and think it's extraordinary on my Fyne F704s, though I do wonder how the SIA-025 might sound driving them. One thing is for certain: the RI-101 Mk2 is not lacking power. It is... | |
| My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000? There's a Gryphon Diablo 300 just listed (not by me, and no affiliation) on another popular high end website for $9750. In your price range, I'd probably jump all over that. The Boulder 866 is another good choice. I had one for a couple of years a... | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? @budburma About sixteen or so years ago, I had a Syrah and Plinius SA-102 and recall it as among the best systems I've ever had. Congrats, and enjoy! | |
| Constructing songs My favorite is that old Loretta Lynn classic, "Finish the Basement, or We're Finished." But I like deconstruction songs even better. "Burning Down the House" by Talking Heads or "Burning House of Love" by X. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @reubent I'm afraid so, but playing old records makes me feel young :) | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @reubent +1 on the Wire Train Now that record brings back some good memories... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @reubent @spiritofradio I am indeed a huge fan of McMurtry, who I think is as good as any songwriter currently out there. I agree his live albums are excellent, this one and Live in Europe from 2009. His studio albums are also great. You can fi... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @spiritofradio That is about the finest description of a band that I've ever read on this site. I do not doubt at all that Willy Vlautin was influenced by both Ford and Carver, which makes me look forward even more to reading his books in a coup... | |
| Pink Floyd’s brand new song @stereo5 I think Syd Barrett did contribute one song--"Jugband Blues"--to 'A Saucerful of Secrets' as well as contributing some guitar work to a couple of other tracks, but there's no doubt he was mentally and functionally drifting away during t... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw Glad you are liking the Green Pajamas LP, Steve! Aren't the Delines wonderful? Songwriter WIlly Vlaut is also a novelist. I plan to read at least a couple of his books as soon as summer break arrives and I have time to read something othe... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Wussy -- "Left for Dead" The Band -- S/T Billie Holiday -- Complete Verve Box Set (LP 5) Lydia Loveless -- "Real" | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! I have experienced a rollercoaster ride with break-in with some cables, none at all that I could detect with others. I have had some components that responded wonderfully (or horribly) with cable changes, others that seemed utterly agnostic to cab... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Handsome Family -- "Singing Bones" Strata Institute -- "Cypher Syntax" (Steve Coleman and Greg Osby on alto sax) a very nice record indeed | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Good to hear that you have been able to spin some records, Steve! |
