| Decware and “The List” I own 2 Decware amps. The make really good products, are very forthcoming about the list, and maintain good communication with their clients. At one point I wondered why they don’t just build a few more benches and expand - but having dealt with t... | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time I dunno. Billy May. Prog. Ken Nordine. French Rockabilly. There are a few things that I believe may sound worse. Either way, an aesthetic judgement that I may normally keep to myself. Everybody’s got their thing. It’s one thing to pass judgement o... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Pulled out my US of A after @middlemass posted it. Moved on to High Tide - Sea Shanties and then New Sound of Numbers - Liberty Seeds. Ended up being an electrified strings kind of session. | |
| Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall? Vinyl did die once already, and then it came back. Whatever brought it back could do so again. Now let’s all keep our mouths shut (less they catch on) so prices can come down again as everybody unloads their collections. 2000ish was a great time t... | |
| HT and 2 channel in same room? 1 or 2 systems? +1 @fuzztone I think this could be solved with a simple switch. If you’re neurotic about sharing grounds, dig inside and switch the grounds (most switches buss the grounding). Make certain everything is off when you flip the switch - although at... | |
| What CDs to buy Nothing really to add. I also buy CDs when the music is not available on LP’s - generally speaking. I did find this thread interesting in concept. As much as we compare LP releases, I never considered ‘is this a good company for CD cuts’. I th... | |
| Building a new system after many years away, need some suggestions ... ! I’m not sure what the loading ability is for that preamp - but if you can do MC a Denon 103 may be in order for the table. It makes magic at a low cost with the right SUT, but that would add costs. If it only does MM - the Hana line is a good valu... | |
| High powered single end 300b recommendations How low do those speakers go in ohms? As others have said, the 300B is usually used as a SET - and then limited to 8-16 wpc. The latter value is seen in parallel configurations. I recall seeing a push pull 300b design but can’t recall the maker. I... | |
| Vinyl - One Word - WOW!! People tend to forget about the persistence of vinyl. Maybe that’s to be expected when so focused on sound, but it’s worth mentioning. I was actually listening a few nights ago to one of the first records I ever found. Funkadelic - Maggot Brain. B... | |
| Tube stereo sounds -smaller- after being on It’s obviously not the mixer of the sound is initially good with the mixer in the line up. I was eying that mixer a few years back - it’s top notch among rotary mixers. I would set up a few experiments with the equipment running on 220 and the ov... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Nation of Ulysses! - ‘Plays Pretty For Baby’ | |
| What are your top 3 favorite female singers? When you are forced to narrow it down to three, it's really hard to topple the classics: Ella Fitzgerald Dinah Washington Margie Day | |
| Tube-Curious/Pre-amp Icon Audio LA4? It’s local to you as well. | |
| What's the oddest thing in your music collection? 16” and 20” transcription records. I’ve collected a few hundred over the years. They are transcription discs the DJ’s use to - among other things - have enough time to go to the bathroom I imagine. Some are V- Discs, some are live, and some are ju... | |
| If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over............. Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over The Sea. |
