| Folkies, do you know Lori McKenna? Well...I might have bought the last 2 tickets for her Natick show anyway. | |
| Child-Proof Speakers My daughter walked at 10 months (this was 22 or so years ago), and we never childproofed anything. No issues, period. The secret is to WATCH YOUR KID all the time, and don't assume kids are stupid (although this could be a matter of degree)...we t... | |
| 3 matched sets. 2 'bias sides' which go with which One would think, but I've never owned an SVT...I've always thought they were pretty cool though...a legend. | |
| Do you indulge when listening to your rig? Extreme moderation is excessive, and bad for you (I think, although I've never done in moderation personally I've known people who live that way...sad...*sniff*...). Opium is also great for listening to music, but opium for smoking has been hard t... | |
| Do you indulge when listening to your rig? Listening to my hifi is in itself pretty much the most self indulgent thing I do (the motorcycle is similar). It is NOT a social device unless you have audio geek friends who will sit quietly listening, and that's just awkward and has them all wre... | |
| Folkies, do you know Lori McKenna? Donjr...shame on you for not carefully reading my post (pearls before swine?...heh heh). Also, I'm gonna see Lori at TCAN (Natick, MA venue) soon. Here's a story for you undeserving bonehaeds...Lori was opening for Kenny White (great NYC singer/so... | |
| Does Passive Bi amping reduces IMD InterModulation I bet a listening test is in order here. When I bought my Silverine Preludes I called the company because I thought I might need a woofer (false alarm)...Alan Yun (the Silverline designer/honcho) told me the Preludes sounded more coherent (his wor... | |
| Preamp with XLR input under 1k? Yeah...as Jedinite24 knows it says "SA-93" on one of the S-33 circuit boards, and as far as I can tell it is EXACTLY the same preamp (dual mono balanced with an isolated double transformer power supply on the same chassis), which means if mine bre... | |
| Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution? Using the ears that are attached to my head, I've heard 4 ohm speakers (Thiel, Proac, etc.) that sound absolutely wonderful with various tube or SS amps regardless of what's contained in Letters From Steve. I realize the sound music makes may not ... | |
| Need some suggestions on tube amplifier I consistently rant in here about Jolida since I bought a factory upgraded JD502p power amp...powerful, well made, has XLR inputs along with RCAs (I like that), fabulous sounding and a bargain...around twice the rated power as a Louie Prima Prolog... | |
| Preamp with XLR input under 1k? I posted a similar query a couple of years ago and a Kavent dealer popped out of the woodwork...perhaps the last Kavent dealer anywhere, and sold me a fabulous new balanced S-33 preamp for what I thought was a bargain price...and promptly went out... | |
| Class D vs Class A Marqmike...now you're making fun of me and that hurts...however...I think somebody should make a simple rack of tubes that power up but don't actually do anything...just enough juice to make 'em look like they're working, and you could simply hide... | |
| Class D vs Class A I think as long as amp designers are listening the the things they build, they should be able to make things sound great built from switching amps or blue cheese. Class D is obviously here to stay and Diavelet, Rogue, Bel Canto, and many others ha... | |
| Sub-woofer fast enough for Horns? Bol972s posts, although sincere, are basically bolcrap. Having heard live music doesn't make you an expert on recorded sound. I listen to, perform, and mix live sound (primarily acoustic instruments) professionally but my opinions have no "special... | |
| Your first amp? I bought a KLH Model 20 system in maybe 1970 that sounded amazing. This was the "turntable with amp" model without the tuner, and the speakers just kicked ass. |
