| Like the new look to audiogon ? Absolutely pathetic! This is the finest example of a company completely out of touch with their customer base caring only about increased revenues. Been a member for many years and have tolerated the egregious fees because at least the product wor... | |
| Hegel H360 comparing to seperates? Just saw this post, let me add my two cents here.I was also looking to downsize my home office rig but really wasn't interested in giving up a whole lot. The system I wasn't looking to compromise much from was not chopped liver:MBL Corona C15 mono... | |
| Best Song Intro If you like bluegrass rock(I call it heavy wood), check out a band called Railroad Earth. The put out a live disc a couple of years back named "Elko". The intro on Disc 2, track 2, song called Mighty River has a killer intro.Secondarily, try the G... | |
| MBL 7006 Integrated. How Does This Amp Sound Like? Ryder,As someone that has extensive experience with MBL gear over the last 10 years(and currently runs an all MBL reference system, I would have a tendancy to stay clear of their Basic line. I've tried several times to get the maximum out of their... | |
| Music and politics This was my response to a similar post back in '06, but even this needs to be modified as the political influence at live shows has gotten even worse."Musicians that have this need to stop during portions of their shows and shove their own politic... | |
| Cables for an MBL Reference system? David,Thanx for your response and input. It certainly seems as if the MBL electronics are the goods, teamed up with either their own speaks or with the Kharma's, and I have also heard some amazing things from the Kharma's at GTT, Bill is a great g... | |
| Difference between Burmester 979 and MBL 1521A Osgorth,(and others)Based on your comments on MBL gear I would like to get some feedback from you. As any of us audiophiles have experienced at some point, the equipment can pull headgames on us and I'm a bit confused/frustrated right now.In short... | |
| Best analog sounding cd player under 5K I'd wait for a used MBL 1531 to pop up. It may not be their reference separates but still a great unit. | |
| Speakers cables that are warm yet detailed........ I would have to side with Montytx. I'm using 6ft. biwired Tara The One ISM Onboards with matching IC's in an all MBL Reference setup. The sound is neutral to slightly warm, but incredibly deep and detailed with excellent stage placement. Obviously... | |
| A Reference Recording.... As a female vocal, bluegrass, and folk head myself, my quest for reference sounding recordings becomes even more difficult as I prefer live stuff to studio cuts. My small smathering of suggestions are the following:A 5 year old band from No.NJ nam... | |
| I saw Pearl Jam last night... Barry309, the Dylan 30th anniversary show is a great disc that I still listen to evey now and again, but Sinaed O"Conner wasn't booed off the stage in tears because she was reading poetry, it was because she had refused to play at one of her own s... | |
| I saw Pearl Jam last night... Musicians that have this need to stop during portions of their shows and shove their own political or ethical views down thier audiences throats is a huge turnoff to me and probably the vast majority of folks that paid their money to hear a show, ... | |
| "Absolute best" used speaker for $8-10K I have to stand behind trcnetmsncom. For 10k you should be able to get a good pair of used Eidelons, they do everything you're looking for, really well, if you have the right gear to go with them. | |
| Insurance I just had this conversation with my ins. broker last thursday. At his reccomendation, I will be submitting an additional rider for my system and paying what will be a very small premium. | |
| Best Country/Rock - Poll I was wondering how far down I was going to have to go before somebody mentioned the early-mid 70's influences of the NRPS and even moreso The Dead. They are the closest definition of country rock I can think of. The Marshall Tucker band would als... |
