| Video question: 55" TV recommendations (details within)? Thanks tvad.It was an outstanding television, and had I not moved abroad, I expect that I would probably still be using it! I do remember the P-i-P feature. I didn't use it much, but it was wild. | |
| Video question: 55" TV recommendations (details within)? Thank you all for your responses!It is, in a way, pleasing that Sony is a consensus choice. I say that because before I moved out of the U.S., I had the last of the flagship Sony XBR CRT TV. It was a monster in terms of weight, but the picture was... | |
| Is it a good idea to buy CD players over 10 years old even it is a reliable brand? I am using a near-20 year old Electrocompaniet EMC-1UP, and it sounds superb. Note, however, that I did replace the (Philips) laser once.How long will it last? Don't know, but it's built like a tank. Does it sound as good as more recent models, or... | |
| Billy Cobham Question Very cool, and what a "power" drummer he was/is! | |
| New house, new amp, and speaker options (Harbeth, Maggies, GMA or...?) Yes, I would be restricted to used C7ES3, SH5+, and M30.1, and even some of those would be stretching the budget.Thanks. | |
| New house, new amp, and speaker options (Harbeth, Maggies, GMA or...?) "Harbeth"Perhaps, but which one? | |
| New house, new amp, and speaker options (Harbeth, Maggies, GMA or...?) Thanks helo – that is helpful! | |
| Thinking of a used Hegel H160 integrated – thoughts and/or alternatives? Thanks, that makes sense. As much as I have enjoyed the E-303X, I would never have suggested that it was closely comparable to the Concentra that I owned, either. | |
| Thinking of a used Hegel H160 integrated – thoughts and/or alternatives? Interesting. Why do you say that? Not that I am underrating the Accuphase, as it is excellent. | |
| Thinking of a used Hegel H160 integrated – thoughts and/or alternatives? Thanks guys. I can grab an H160 for under $1500, so probably worth a go.I appreciate the input. | |
| Thinking of a used Hegel H160 integrated – thoughts and/or alternatives? Thanks. I do like the Accuphase quite a bit, but don't think that it is in the class of my earlier Rowland, and I would be surprised if it could hold its own with the Hegel.The DAC and remote would also be welcomed. | |
| Am I the only one who doesn’t love Harbeth P3esr? Hard to imagine them sounding bright. I use mine with a recapped vintage Accuphase integrated amp and fairly old Electrocompaniet CD player, with neutral to warmish results.I also find them to be valuable in that my listening space is far from ide... | |
| Top vintage receivers vs. modern high-end equipment Not sure why the OP would want a receiver rather than an integrated amp and tuner, but my 2 cents are that vintage Accuphase, when recapped, are truly excellent.I use an E-303x to power my system (Accuphase T-103 tuner, Harbeth speakers, and a ~20... | |
| Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...." Lots of over-the-top responses here, and tortured analogies.I'm using an Electrocompaniet EMC-1UP that is ~17 years old, and it still sounds excellent. I paid around $2300 for it used (it had also been modified) around 2006, and I see some advert... | |
| Favorite cover? @bdp24 Thanks, and a good point about Cape Fear.For some reason my original link to the Incognito video isn't working. Let's try again:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHnsBZ_kL0I |
