| Who are some of elite sub woofers? +1 for Rythmik. Exceptional value, highly adjustable, very musical. I love my FG12. With its own adjustability, it integrates seamlessly with my Maggie MMGs through a Parasound P5 preamp. | |
| Best multi-purpose subwoofer +1 for Rythmik. My FG12 is a servo-controlled, paper-coned, 12" sealed sub. Very fast and musical, it marries really well with my Maggie MMGs for music and is all you could ask for in a HT application as well (certainly for my modestly-sized liste... | |
| Best song for immediate impact when presenting or testing? This list gives me a nice cross-section of musical tastes and moods that I typically find myself engaging in and brings out the best in my admittedly mid-fi system:Frank Morgan "Mood Indigo" CDMiles Davis "Freddie The Freeloader" from "Kind Of Blu... | |
| What to do when the preamp you were ripped off on shows up online ? johnmarzy:eBay's "sides with the buyer 100% of the time" cuts both ways, and personally, I find it a crock. Let me relate to you MY personal experience:Several months ago I sold a vintage Akai R2R deck on eBay. As I always do post-ship, I contac... | |
| JBL 4367: What an AMAZING sounding speaker! Wait.Someone (somewhere) said "Neil Peart isn't a good drummer"?BWWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!Drugs obviously aren't their cup of tea! | |
| What do you LIKE BEST about your current audio system? Andynotadam:Well, if you're going to be snobbish about it........Nils Lofgren is a pretty good bucket to pull the snob out of. | |
| What do you LIKE BEST about your current audio system? "...and that song about Keith not going."Not sure if that was rhetorical or not, but I think you're referring to the Nils Lofgren song "Keith Don't Go". | |

| Bands with great second albums Santana "Abraxas" Steely Dan "Countdown To Ecstasy" Lyle Lovett "Pontiac" | |
| For those of us over 60.. Unquestionably....Santana. | |
| This is juvenile... +1 for Sade. +1 for Norah Jones (been listening to her music a LOT lately). I’ll toss in Lydia Pense circa 1969 for nostalgia’s sake. | |
| Suggestions for an amp I run a Denon AVR-X4000 (a few years old) through a Parasound P5 pre-amp w/HT bypass and B&K EX-442 Sonata amp that puts 350 wpc through my 4 ohm Maggie MMGs. The P5 also has an MM/MC phono stage.Works quite nicely for both my HT and 2.1 chan... | |
| Replacing fuse When I got my my modded Hafler DH-220, they had cryo-treated, ceramic audiophile fuses. I melted them pushing Maggie MMGs at moderate volume playing mostly jazz music. Go figure.I replaced them with standard glass fuses because it's what I had o... | |
| Recommendations for a few high SQ classical CDs No mention of Solti's interpretation of Mahler's 8th on the London label?I am shocked! | |
| Budget/value SS power amp recommendation I not long ago replaced a Musical Concepts-modded Hafler DH-220 (still in use in the bedroom) with a mint B&K EX-442 Sonata I picked up for $325. 200 wpc into 8 ohm, 350 into 4 ohms. Through a Parasound P5 preamp, my Maggie MMGs sing like ca... |
