| Bozak concert grand speakers It sounds like you are not going to keep and use them, so is the question how to sell them?They are a classic, though it would appeal to a narrower market due to size, weight and vintage. I gather that the crossovers could be improved (there was a... | |
| Dead Can Dance reissues - not happy I compared the original 4AD, the MoFi, and the redo on vinyl from a couple years ago- I suspect that the redo was digitally mastered, and couldn’t verify when DCD stopped recording analog. The MoFi is a little ’chestier" and than the original 4AD;... | |
| We lost an audiophile and a friend- RIP- Joe sorry you lost a friend. | |
| Mac Mini as a music server I'm using a Mac Mini as a cheap point of entry to computer audio. Didn't buy one with a flash drive, and am not sure you even need to spend the money for more processing power. I use Audirvana, which sounds good (i haven't compared to others) and ... | |
| Many seem to be talking about their last system . @mechans -- they probably have you lifting heavy boxes and running the 1/4 mile. You feeling better? | |
| Many seem to be talking about their last system . In the last 5 years, though I've made certain upgrades to my system, I've probably spent more money on records. There comes a point where, to me, the continual quest to extract the last iota of sound from a reproduction system is subordinate to th... | |
| The current best band in the world? @cisgo- I would encourage anyone here who has never heard Crimson recently to catch them. Probably one of the best produced, highest quality of musicianship, leave you stunned shows I have ever attended. (I caught them here in Austin last year at ... | |
| Where do you look for rare records and pressings ? There are some trusted dealers out there, but no assurance that they have what I am chasing at the moment and prices tend to be higher than what I can find on the usual sources like E-Bay (country of origin in some cases) or Discogs. Every once in... | |
| Best reissue or older version of Led Zeppelin 4 in vinyl. You might want to search out the George Piros and George Peckham ("Porky") mastered reissue from the mid-’70s. The Monarch pressings (a plant that is now regarded in hindsight as having pressed a lot of good sounding records) tend to be bombastic,... | |
| Marvin Gaye "What's Goin' On" MFSL UDOS 45rpm @slaw - I didn't meant to condemn the title and apologize if that's how my post read. I intended to convey that generally, I have not found most of the Motown/Tamla vinyl to sound very good, and the copy of this I do have- which was given to me as... | |
| Marvin Gaye "What's Goin' On" MFSL UDOS 45rpm The proof will be in the listening. I’ve never had great experience with the sonics of the Motown/Tamla releases- the best sounding ones were cut by Kent Duncan in my experience. Many sounded wooly and muffled. One of the best of the Stevie Wonder... | |
| Golden age of vinyl recordings? @inna- Chris Blackwell’s Island Records, an independent label at that time, was eating every other label’s lunch- he had signed Stevie Winwood and Traffic, went on with Jethro Tull, Fairport Convention, the band Free, King Crimson, Nick Drake, Joh... | |
| Golden age of vinyl recordings? For me, the golden age has a lot to do with the music as well as the technology and is in the post-psych era in the UK, say ’68-71 or a little later. Studios were still somewhat primitive, bands had to be capable of playing the songs ’live in the ... | |
| The current best band in the world? Eric- dunno, it wasn't even on my radar until you mentioned the band and I looked up their tour schedule. I'd probably have to call in a favor to get a seat, but I can see. It is a good venue-- clean, modern, spare, sound is good, at least on the ... | |
| The current best band in the world? Look like they are playing here in November with Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman- mostly sold out already. [url]http://acl-live.com/calendar/sweetheart-of-the-rodeo[/url] |
