| Better Records vs MoFi 2 recent acquisitions sound astonishingly good relative to other copies I own: A re-mixed 2 disc 45RPM of "The Band" (Brown Album) from the boxed set, and a recent remastered "Waltz For Debbie" vinyl that Fremer was all excited about. | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? I don't want anybody else to steal my brilliant and unique style, and my ego doesn't require my showing off...obviously. | |
| Phono Preamp Recs under $200 for My System Cambridge Audio. Great sounding phono stuff el cheapo. | |
| SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)? The Pass XA-25 is unique among Pass Labs amps and seemingly more like the First Watt stuff...absolutely the best sounding SS amp I've owned. My Dennis Had Firebottle SEP also sounds great, and neither will be replaced by Class D anytime soon. The ... | |
| My Heresy IV at 168 hours w/ a change of tubes. Love my Heresy IIIs with a Schiit Freya using NOS GE 6SN7GTBs into either a Pass XA-25 or a Dennis Had SEP with KT77s usually (I switch between the two whenever I feel like it, and swap the tubes in the Had amp for fun here and there). The IIIs ar... | |
| Front or Back wall diffusers Ficus! Yeah...or go with furniture like I do...I like my "room sound" and no, you can't come over and hear it. | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" I still say the "cover the vinyl with peanut butter and let ants clean it off" method remains the best. Also, brevity...we need more brevity around here... | |
| Mazzy loves Little Feat! In spite of Bonnie being a serious Lowell devotee she actually tossed him out of his producer role on one of her albums when he wanted to play a solo somewhere and she insisted she should play it. Strange but true. | |
| Best EXTERNAL DAC suggestions Schiit Bifrost 2/64 simply because I have one (and it sounds great). | |
| Tube Preamp: How many tubes does it take to ................. I put several tubes in my Pass XA-25...they just roll around in there but it does make me feel better. | |
| Mazzy loves Little Feat! A former Blue Cheer groupie nursed me through a bad acid trip. True. I'm forever grateful. I saw Blue Cheer play in a nice little arena in Honolulu and thought it was sort of insane...3 Marshall stacks each for the bass and guitar resulting in a s... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? I don’t trust anybody else’s ears. They’re not attached to my head, and regardless of what any reviewer says in even the most comprehensive of reviews, that guy doesn’t know my room, my tastes, or my experience, and I’ve returned one too many spea... | |
| Mazzy loves Little Feat! Little Feat were not a "jam band" which explains their dynamic shows. George wouldn't participate with the extended synth ("Day or Night" maybe) song as he didn't think it fit...he sang every note pretty much exactly as recorded originally, and hi... | |
| How tall do you like your images? How do you measure "image" height? Your imagination calculator? Height for performing musicians is relative to your distance from the performers, and the height of their sound...well...are musical notes height quantifiable? My system images well e... | |
| SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)? I rotate between a Pass XA-25 and a Dennis Had Inspire Firebottle HO (high output). Both sound amazingly excellent. |
