| Noel Redding I always thought Noel was tremendously underrated as a player, but that's what you get, I suppose, when you're a converted guitarist who's slotted in between Jimi and Mitch Mitchell. His ability to thrive in that spot, and come up with just the ri... | |
| Buzzing sound while turning volume switch. *IF* the buzzing isn't present when you're not touching the unit, *AND* it's fairly low in level when you are, I wouldn't worry about it too much, as it's probably just one of those little grounding anomolies having as much to do with the AC line ... | |
| Is "live" music sound possible for under $1K I will just add from my brief bout with ownership many years ago that Klipsch KG-4's are NOT what you want - I won't go into details here, but they are not a high-fidelity speaker, and will never give you realistic sound (please do not extrapolate... | |
| Who's to blame for the Grain?? Agree with Gthirteen that the sound of the large Paradigms should not be taken as a stand-in for the sound of the small Paradigms. Were you actually able to listen to the 20's? Anyway, choosing your speakers first is the correct path in my opinion... | |
| How do you get the "real" feel of music? Thanks for comin' on back, Sasha, and for not taking my comments on what you said (or others' reactions to them) personally. Since it would seem you have a lot of expertise to share, and since, as you say, writing out your thoughts can help you to... | |

| What's more important; sound or brand name? Dekay - If I itch, I scratch...my 1200 has nothing to do with it. :-)Psychic - The answer to your rhetorical question is: Almost as much flak as you've asked for... ;^) | |
| What's more important; sound or brand name? In truth, I see somewhat of the reverse phenomenon around here more frequently. There is a large contingent in this hobby for whom the most un-hip gear you can mention are the well-known establishment audiophile brands (the validity for many of Ki... | |
| Sub In The Fireplace This is the best thread title I've seen in a long time! My suggestion would be to stuff the chimney with fiberfill and turn it into a giant transmission line by opening the flue... ;^) | |
| The miracle of the turntable? Hey, when you get right down to it, I still can't believe that a speaker can sound like a violin. I think that sense of wonderment was one of the reasons we all gravitated to this stuff at a (usually) young age in the first place. If the kid's got... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Nrchy, it appears momentum may yet be building slowly... :-) Twl, with Roni on board, what is the grand total of beta-adopters? | |
| Warm vs. Analytical ASDF: I composed a post making essentially the same point last night, but decided not to post it. Why? Because for whatever combination of reasons (which I could speculate on, but don't need to for us to acknowledge the net result), the truth of t... | |
| Quality CD Recorders If you don't want to spend for the Alesis, and don't require a burner equipped with a hard-drive, consider the British-designed, Asian-built HHB CDR-830 BurnIT. I got mine for $550 new discounted, and it does sound superior to the mass-market bran... | |
| NEW MUSIC Varese also influenced Paul McCartney and Frank Zappa. | |
