| Vintage Snell Ci Loudspeakers, Replace or Rebuild I also like the Snell's you have; I can remember hearing them on occasion at several dealers and they are very likable. My opinion is to find a dealer or authorized repair center that will refoam those particular drivers. Yeah you could 'wing' it ... | |
| Rega Brio Sufficient? The original Brio (I had one and gave it to one of my best friends) is a really great amp and bargain. I upgraded to the Mira 2000 for one of my systems, which has a different sound. The Brio should work fine, it sounds more like a 60-80 watter or... | |
| "Classic Yes" album question... I've never heard of any Yes album (vinyl record) including a 45.. sounds interesting... BTW I like the live Roundabout on Yessongs better.. even though it's a lousy recording.Ps: I'd like to hear a Yes fan and audiophile comment on the new "Fragil... | |
| So whats your favorite music themed movie? Amadeus by a long shot... one of my all time favorite movies, period. | |
| What is your experience with Muscial Concept Mods? For the AR speakers I'm guessing the Hafler would be a better way to control and provide force than with a tube unit. My opinion would be to start with the CD player, if cd's and not vinyl are your source and try out different CD playters... 1k co... | |
| How many use Vintage Hi-Fi systems? I have several "vintage" speakers I keep for kicks.. just acquired a pair of circa 1983 KEF 103's I'm going to play with... | |
| Ferrite Ring filters bad for Interconnects? Opus 88 has it right | |
| Seventh Sojourn - The Moody Blues I would have liked to heard a comparison between the original UK pressed LP and the MFSL LP...I have the MFSL LP, not the CD. Used to have the domestic LP, MF LP is better IMHO.. better by "clean-up - more detail".. I would imagine UK pressing or ... | |
| What one product has redefined music for you?? The day, at age 21, in 1982, I walked into a dealer and heard a very large set of Acoustat electrostatics with the Acoustat amps playing Joni Mitchel's "Court and Spark", a recording I was very familiar with and right then and there I thought I di... | |
| Thoughts on Threshold Forte Model 3 Nelson Pass I've heard a few Adcoms on occasion, and used to have a Forte 1a.. I'd say the Forte 3 should be a step up in quality from an adcom.. should be a little more revealing, transparent and smoother. At least my 1a was... | |
| Food: What does the typical audiophile eat? Pepperidge Farm Cookies - Mint, Orange, Rasberry Milanos, and my favorite, Tahiti cookies. I go through a bag a day/night. crumbs are a problem however. | |
| Lie you told your wife to buy equipment? Oh wow great thread! I wish I had started it... a typical scenario in our house goes like this...Wife: "ah, what was that diesel truck sound I heard from what seemed like the driveway just now?"me: "ah, I didn't hear nothin"wife, a couple of days ... | |
| Anyone experienced with Sound Guard? My friends and I all bought into the stuff in 1979-1981 or so and used it quite a bit... benefit was less static... after 3-5 years or so you would play a disc and there would be this white dust residue building up on your stylus, apparently the s... | |
| Question about vintage Marantz 22xx power output The 2230 and 2270 come to mind as classics, I had a 2230 which sounded great with a pair of Epi bookshelf 6" models (until it broke - 1 channel just blew out and I never got it fixed). | |
| Good Time to be a metal fan with a turntable "Metal" as it were, came a bit after my time. However as a teen I was a fan of Black Sabbath (don't ask me why but it had something to do with Tony Iommi's guitar sound which I used to call "the wall of electricity").From the 70's I'd like to see:... |
