| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. Well you said one and then you picked two so i will also; The two i listen to over and over: Little Feat--Waiting for Colombus Beethoven--6th -- Pastoral--pick a version they're almost all good FWIW Fillmore East could almost displace Beethove... | |
| Has anyboyd used this amp, your thoughts on it @audiomike33 I looked at all the pictures on the link you sent and got a kick out of their picture of the speaker taps and their unique spelling of Right and Left--If you go for it hope their quality is better than their spelling! | |
| Room acoustics basics agree with @willy-t on Jim Smith's "Get Better Sound". Much of his very understandable non-STEMmy book focuses on room acoustics and how the room is the #1 component in your system. Worth the purchase--helped me a great deal. | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? @atmasphere You're right--a bit over my head on the technical side but i appreciate the effort. What about hybrid amps that don't use feedback--claiming to use zero feedback to "maintain harmonic integrity"--eg Aesthetix--still a problem? I'm no... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? @atmasphere Like many here i've followed this discussion with interest, especially as relates to the discussion re sound or "musicality" of tube amps v ss--and i will say that in general i agree with you--just never knew the reason why--but as an ... | |
| Entry CD player question? @davetheoilguy thanks--will give that a shot--i've got an old mid-90's Pioneer player/burner in my second system and you got my curiosity fired up. | |
| Entry CD player question? @davetheoilguy You say "figure out what sub-manufacturer built the transport in your chosen model..." How can one find that information for any given cd player? | |
| What To Do? How is this a topic for Audiogon? | |
| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby? Read first--it will actually help you figure out your goals. Harley's book may be the bible of high end audio but another very useful book on basics is Jim Smith's "Get Better Sound"--i found it helped me focus on the room as being the most impor... | |
| After a long, long sleep: ML-335 the article i read said they will only service Mark Levinson that they manufactured -- ie after the bought the brand in 2003. Article said no pre-2003. But i read that several years ago so maybe they changed their mind? | |
| After a long, long sleep: ML-335 @musicfan2349 I seem to remember an article i read saying Levinson (Harmon) no longer services ML amps that are older than before Harmon purchased Madrigal Audio Labs which included Levinson--ie amps they didn't manufacture--but Harmon will refe... | |
| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. BTW as a footnote to the above, "White Christmas" as sung by Crosby is the biggest selling single of all time according to Guinness. More interesting is that it was written by irving Berlin who is Jewish and did not celebrate Christmas per se and... | |
| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. So many great songs put forth above--to me "best" depends on my mood at the time--I once listened to a radio show host talk for an hour about how "White Christmas" was the greatest song ever written. I said to myself--it might be at Christmas tim... | |
| Short? Sorry for tangent but since some here have mentioned a failing cap in the amp being responsible, i'm wondering if a similar issue i'm having is responsible for popcorn popping sound in my REL sub? Only began recently and is occurring while A/C is... | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? These threads are always a great source for music you haven't heard although i'd probably err on the side of streaming many before buying a vinyl version. Also obvious is that few here can confine it to three but i'll do my best: 1. Allman Bros-... |
