| Not your everyday bookshelf speaker? You might want to look at the Sapphire from Audio Concepts-now called MAG or Meniscus Audio Group. I used them for years with a couple powered subs. Loaned them to a friend for audition in his home and he refused to return them. Still in use and s... | |
| CD direct to monobloks? I've run both a Theta Miles and Resolution Audio 21 directly into either an Aragon 8008BB or B&K M-200's in balanced mode with good results. Every time a preamp goes in for trial, it gets sent back. Have tried variety of solid state and tube p... | |
| Listening Chair? My 20 year old Stressless is more comfortable today than the day I bought it. Still rock solid. I use it daily, often for hours. Only signs of wear are some crinkling of the leather on the arms and chafing where my grubby neck rests. At 6'4"and 27... | |
| Where is the attractive audio furniture? Salamander | |
| Amp for Thiel 2.2? I ran a classe with Thiel for a few years until I heard them with an Aragon 8008BB. Classe has been in the loft since. | |
| Best Audio Store Name? Sound Seller-Marinette, WI. Probably long gone. Owner was a cool guy. Roger something. | |
| Bah Humbug-Bad Christmas Music On the other hand, give the Star of Wonder on Reference Recordings a try. It's the only Christmas music I like and I really like this one. Almost makes me believe. | |
| Boy is this girl good... Count me in. Have followed her for some time now. Saw her live last year in Seattle in a very small venue with maybe 100 people. Hung around and chatted post concert-she was gracious, funny, genuinely appreciative of her fans and not in the least ... | |
| Lie you told your wife to buy equipment? I'll quit smoking. She was smart enough to say, "Wonderful, after you've quit long enough to have saved enough money for the piece, go for it." Been buying stuff that way ever since. Thank goodness the price of cigs keeps going up. This was after ... | |
| 5 Years or More? I've got a pair of Fried q's that must be at least 25 years old, running with a Pioneer integrated that's even older in the garage. 5+ year old NHT 3's in the loft that are going nowhere. Vandersteen 2CE's just left the main system after 8 years. ... | |
| Wise audio aphorisms He/she who dies with the most toys is still dead but his/her heirs may be rockin'. | |
| 'they blew'em off the stage' Mismatch blow off-The Who opening for Herman's Hermits, '68 or '69 memory fades. More recently, that is within the last 15 years; unknown Keb Mo' solo opening for bored and boring JJ Cale, the crowd called out for Mo' and got him to come back out ... | |
| Cable angst and Vandersteen 2 ce signature I have very nice results with Nordost Blue Heaven. | |
| Buying Someone's Records: An Ethics Question No matter what you decide, you will have an ethical advantage over this-a single, elderly music lover with a collection of nearly 10K well cared for 78's and LP's passed away. A local jerk offered to his distant neices and nephews to "haul away hi... |
