| Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to Roberta Flack was a better version of Norah Jones before Norah Jones was born. | |
| Perception and Watts: Doubling of power Yeah, but this one goes to 11. Sorry, I don't get that many chances to use that one, even if it is worn out. | |
| Candidates for best speakers in the $2000-5000 market I got my used Magnepan 20.1s right here on Audiogon for $5500 ($12,500 new). I'm extremely happy with that deal and I don't think better sounding speakers can be found under $10,000. | |
| If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over............. Stevie Wonder - Innervisions. While it would eventually bore, it has enough variety to keep boredom at bay for quite a while. @fuzztone I can't believe you mentioned The Wondermints and that album. It's absolutely fantastic and hardly anybody kno... | |
| Hi-end audio is a big zero I apologize for not being able to get past the title and first sentence of this post without being critical. The title is "High End Audio is a Big Zero" when what you meant is "High End Audio Dealers are a Big Zero". High end audio by itself is ju... | |
| Types of Audiophiles What does a soul or lack thereof have to do with opinions? That one really confused me. A better description of Scientist would be "Let me see the output of that audio analyzer." | |
| Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo? Bad reliability and a ridiculously high price? Where do I sign up? | |
| Sad songs- We love them- We need them Puff the Magic Dragon - Peter, Paul, and Mary A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys Painted wings and giant's rings make way for other toys One gray night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more And Puff, that mighty dragon, he ceased his... | |
| Help finding a subwoofer I've said it before in this forum and I'll say it again, REL subs seem to be the one type of audio gear that almost everyone can agree on as being well built, having excellent performance, and a good value. In fact, I don't think I've seen a negat... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. Never thought of The Band as anything more than a really good garage (or basement if you prefer) band. This is just my opinion but I’ve never understood the hype. | |
| Great classical pianists Liberace - "I wish my brother George was here." Only kind of joking. He actually was a great pianist early on and won some competitions but later on went for showmanship over quality. But people loved him for that showmanship. | |
| Basic question about power/watts Whoever told you that Maggies don't pair well with a sub was extremely confused. In fact, Maggies (except maybe the 30.1s) should ALWAYS be paired with a sub so the sub can handle the low Hz and the Maggies don't have to work as hard. Then that ri... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? @wolf_garcia I believe some horn speakers built today have gotten much better at imaging than horn speakers of the past, but if you're a fan of imaging, there are still a lot of horn speakers that don't image real well. I for one am a big fan of... | |
| What I really hate about some music The first two are basically the same complaint, overdone repetition, with Kiss's Rock and Roll All Nite being one of the worst offenders. I think they repeat the line "I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day" something like 32 times at... | |
| Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article) @parker65310 "There is an incredible variety of great music still being created all the time. One just has to keep an open mind and be curious and willing to put the time in to search it out." The fact that we have to search it out rather than ... |
