| 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. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Gilla Band - Most Normal | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Rockadrome Royal American 20th Century Blues. | |
| Only two tracks to test your system, forever! The concept of a test song is tricky. I have certain songs that I consider torture tracks for a vinyl rig (Slim Gaillard - Jump Session - 78rpm) and other songs that I feel like run the gamut of a full spectrum sound (Radiohead - Pulk-Pull). These... | |
| Disappearing Jazz? I think a good amount of big band is being preserved by the dancers. I was at a dance this Friday - with a 9 piece live band. Great musicians. 200+ sweaty 20-somethings eating it up. It is not being re-issued as quickly as other genres of music fo... | |
| Is the seated-centered solo listening to music a dated tech? We have 2 ears. 2 channel makes sense to me. |
