| Pro amps for home use? You can use pro amps with home speakers, but amps designed for home use are often (much) better sounding, usually have more appropriate connections (5 way posts, etc.), and are quieter. I have thousands of watts of pro stuff around (musician, live... | |
| Do you leave the Jeff Rowland Amp on all the time This is the first time I've had much agreement with one of my energy rants...a good sign. | |
| Do you leave the Jeff Rowland Amp on all the time Turn it off. NO excuses. It's lame to leave things on all the time, wake up, get in the 21st century you wasteful laggards! Use the time it takes for your gear to warm up for something useful...charity work, gardening, flossing, put the LPs back i... | |
| Most Musical amp? Newest version MD factory upgrade/modded Jolida JD502P...voted "Most Musical Amp in My House" by myself, and cost way less than the competition. I also have had many (many) amps, but this one takes the proverbial cake...note the almost complete la... | |
| What are your favorite phono cartridges? I switched from the AT to a Sumiko Pearl...and am happy happy happy. | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos Reopening the case, Fagan competes with himself and can't win that one as he keeps sounding like Donald Fagan, but I think the album (CD) sounds great sonically with layers of funk buried in there, and I like the fact that all the songs have indiv... | |
| Frequency Response Music is made up of a lot of frequencies that by themselves (like a 20khz test tone) may be inaudible, but because it's music, they have a large effect on the sound. High notes can have higher overtones that sweeten the tone overall...most likely ... | |
| Acoustics and chair I already suggested the dentist chair so please, lets not over-suggest here. Another tip...let your hair grow out in the back and you have a built-in sound absorbing system you can take everywhere. | |
| Acoustics and chair Along with seating choices, it's important to note that your facial expression can have a profound effect on sound...try various expressions like ennui, horror, open or closed mouth (this is very tooth dependant..."extreme overbite open mouth" wil... | |
| Cambridge Audio products unreliable/unsupported? I always maintain the perhaps unrealistic attitude that gear, especially things without moving parts, should never break. Is "Chi-fi" actually more breakdown prone? I would think that could be true if the quality control part of the process is fla... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos Based on the evidence presented herein, I rest my case. | |
| Folkies, do you know Lori McKenna? I worked with Lori McKenna (soundman...shows in Maine mostly) a few times both before and after the Faith Hill discovery. I mean really...Oprah! She was part of the local (New England) scene of some amazing but obscure singer/songwriters in the "u... | |
| Cambridge Audio products unreliable/unsupported? Yeah...the dealer seems like the proper path here.I've also experienced the "lost Canadian week" when I bought a minor thing from Canada...gets stuck at the border it seems. | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos Note to self: The oddly insecure can be VERY sensitive to sarcasm or "Teen Wolf" soundtrack references, possibly triggering tropical partnering fantasies. "Beach Boy...get that dude his meds...he seems ominously troubled." This thread reads like a... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos Oh no...SARCASM! I forgot that Palmer was the first black president...I did like "24." As a vocalist for Steely Dan (a little over 40 years ago) Palmer's been pretty much relegated to trivia for most listeners as he has a somewhat forgettable voic... |
