Which Patricia Barber album floats yer boat?
It is the quality of her recordings that rock my audiophoolish boat. Not her singing or piano playing. And I can listen to only 'bout half her cds, and about half of the tracks on those cds.

That's a first, Rcupka. I think you mean to be talking to Kevine, don't ya?

Isn't it the thing between small and large? lol..

I don't doubt that she is better in concert, but she has just as many losers as winners in her recordings. That will get you into the hall of fame if you're a baseball player, but not in this medium. 
Listening at very low volume
Eldarford, after listening for a prolonged amount of time, do the headphones ever start to annoy your ears? I'm talking about where the headphones touch the ears. 
Listening at very low volume
I would not be satisified with 70db with Quads or the like. Very unsatisfying and always want to turn it up. I had Maggies and it was as if I had a blanket over the speakers. With 101db there are oodles of possibilites. I do agree with Mrt, howeve... 
Listening at very low volume
When eating something crunchy, the sound of bone (vibration) conduction in my ear, would overpower the music. A whisper of sound is what I'm talking about. It freaks me out how low I can listen and the Defs still (along, of course with SET)can del... 
YBA Initial vs Integre vs Audio Refinement
Not in my system, but in the same system at American Audio. I was listening strictly to acoustic jazz. Like I said: different animals. 'twas a long while ago, but it was easy for me to hear the difference. Don't get me wrong, the AR was very nice,... 
YBA Initial vs Integre vs Audio Refinement
My thread is a bit confusing. My fault. I did not mean to compare the Passion. I owned the YBA Integre DT for 7 years. This amp is the one I'm talking about that is in a different class. Blows the AR away. That's what I was driving at. My only rea... 
YBA Initial vs Integre vs Audio Refinement
Ipous, which would you rather drive: Camry or a BMW? 6 cylinders or a V8? You get the idea? I owned the Integre for 7 years. The best 50 ss watts I ever heard. Sold it to purchase? Yep, the Integre's big brother--the Passion. Beautiful in and out.... 
Zu Druid Cable Question
ouch! I'm sorry 'bout digressing on your thread, but it's the nature of the beast on the 'gon. Things get crazy sometimes. Personalities before principles, unfortunately. You are new to the 'gon, so you will see as time goes on. You did get some k... 
Power Cords on a $1000 budget what would you do?
I strongly agree with Boa2. Very good advice. You'll get more bang for the $. warren :) 
does a stereo system sound like live music ?
It is easier achieving the sound of a rock concert or the like since all the music is miked and electronic. No referrent of natural/acoustic. Audio is not (near) getting a jazz trio, quartet, etc. to sound like it is in your living room. Listen to...

64. Now I know why Mr T is on just about every Audiogon thread...retire at 55? life enui? lol... 
Now, finally, just the music
Well, I haven't been able to give up the audio pubs, Audiogon and the like. I think it would be easier to give up coffee, but I am really grooving with the music, more than ever (it seems)--maybe it's not only the Defs, but the combination of SET,...
