| Wrapping Up 2016 This thread made me realize my father died when he was 6 years older than I am now. Geez. I've never smoked, am in relatively decent health and I have had more health issues through this age than my dad did up to the same age. Guess it's time to s... | |
| What to do with audio Magazines I used to keep them all. When the small digest size went out I found a ready market on eBay. Now I no longer keep the magazines- it's all on line | |
| Upgrade my MD 102 Tuner? I used to own an MD100 which I had upgraded by the factory to an MD105. I didn't find any improved reception at all. | |
| Pass X-250.8, X-250.5 or XA-30.8...or? My Studio 2’s are driven extremely well by a 250.8. I never feel I need more power, no matter how loud I listen (I can easily exceed 100dB). The pairing sounds superb. | |
| Audiolab 8200CD software erased can anyone help, self destruction sorta bizarre- but what can I say- the Brits like warm beer too | |
| What's your latest album purchase? Donald Fagen - The Nightfly. Vinyl of course. I've had the CD forever then I saw a vinyl version just a few days ago. Bought it for peanuts. Sounds great and in great shape too. | |
| What SS preamp compares to a tube preamp For years I ran tubes. Conrad Johnson then Rogue. 3 years ago I went over to Pass Labs. Same as tubes? Unlikely but I do not miss the tubes even one bit. Pass is that good | |
| Samsung buys Harman for $8B That home audio was an afterthought for Samsung is exactly what makes me wonder if Samsung will do anything to support it- or just let it die. Would be interesting if Samsung found a buyer for the home audio- imagine throwing that in with Naim/Foc... | |
| Jazz at the Pawnshop Had this LP for longer than I can remember. Not exactly the most involving, but it's really quite good and the recording is excellent. I'd give it a B+ overall. It does get knocked as a great recording of crap material. Not so at all, IMO. | |
| What to do with audio Magazines I sold just about all my older small size mags. Now I just toss them | |
| Pass Labs upgrade? what's the difference, 2 db? Audibility is doubtfulno personal experience though- I run a 250.8 which has power to spare | |
| California Audio Labs – Icon Mk II CD Player - HDCD I have no current xperience with the CAL IconHDCD Power Boss but I did own one years back. Sold it in 2001 and bought in its place a Meridian 508.24. The Meridian, which wasn't exactly new in 2001, trounced the CAL in every area except one- the C... | |
| Conrad Johnson Repair Issues FWIW, after owning CJ Premier gear years ago, I wound up preferring Rogue for tubed gear, and these days, I find Pass Labs so much more satisfying than CJ gear. | |
| Linn lip-12 Would have to disagree that the hinges are cheesy- I’ve had my LP12 18 years, original hinges, and the hinges have never been a problem. So while the hinges may not be a heavy duty affair, they are entirely adequate for their purpose | |
| Linn lip-12 Order of goodness1- lid off (the best)2- lid down (will do)3- lid up (oh the humanities) |
