| Contemplating move from Elac UniFi FS’s to ex-demo Devore Super 8s I’m not sure this will be helpful since my system wasn’t identical to yours. I owned both the DeVore 8 and Super 8. I drove both with a couple of amps, a Cronus Magnum (not the Magnum II) and a Cary/AES AE-25 and AE3 preamp combination. I love Jo... | |
| Strange, interesting, hysterical music The group is from Bahrain, very near Saudi Arabia but with a different history and culture. | |
| Rotel RSX 1057 A Harmony universal remote should work. If you need it for only one device any of their remotes should work. The RSX 1057 is listed in their database as being compatible with any of their remotes.https://support.myharmony.com/en-us/compatibility | |
| Mod my Citation amps? You can probably reach Mike Samra through the tubes section of Audio Asylum. He posts regularly and is always friendly and helpful.https://cgi.audioasylum.com/cgi/mail.mpl?user_ID=31810&f=tubes | |
| What is your favorite holiday song? "Merry Christmas From The Family" by Robert Earl Keen, from his album "Gringo Honeymoon." | |
| Willie Nelson - a couple of questions please His newest, "God's Problem Child" is my favorite, right up there with "Red Headed Stranger", and I have most of his music for comparison. His voice and his choice of songs just keeps getting better. | |
| What happened to the New Today box on Audiogon. Considering the fees Audiogon charges for listings and sales they could surely pay for a decent interface design for the site. There are a lot of strange lapses in good design. One of the promises with the last updates to the site was that everyth... | |
| Sentimental song. "Merry Christmas From the Family" by Robert Earl Keen from his album "Gringo Honeymoon". It's a family tradition that always puts my daughters into fits of laughter. | |
| "One Box Solutions" - Suggestions ? You didn't specify a price limit but have a look at the Simaudio Moon ACE. At $3,500 it would seem to satisfy your requirements, multiple inputs, streaming from almost any source with a very smart remote control. My listening with a pair of NOLA B... | |
| Looking for a Cheap DAC? I agree with the recommendation of the Simaudio 100D. It's great sounding, exceptionally well built and a bargain at its used price. I have one in my office system and am amazed by what it contributes to the realism of the sound from a computer ba... | |
| LED replacement on PrimaLuna Amp/Integrated advice? A simpler solution, while it doesn’t change the color, is to buy a roll of static cling window blackout film (costs about $7 for enough to last a lifetime) and cut out small pieces to fit over the offending LEDs. No one will know but you. | |
| Ear plugs for live musc. Another vote for the Etymotic earplugs. The ER-20 model is very reasonably priced and, like larryrs, I've used them for years for motorcycle riding where, as in listening to music, you want the full spectrum of sound of what's around you. They als... | |
| lap top tunes warrenh -- You're selling your wife? What's the bluebook value? I'm thinking about an upgrade. | |
| Ry Cooder recommendation... When you hear the accordion on any of Ry Cooder's songs it is Flaco Jiménez, the absolute master of that instrument and one of Ry's most important collaborators. He doesn't get nearly the recognition he deserves. | |
| Time for Two Ways ! The Nola Boxer. I started with the original version and have upgraded to the S1. I've owned a lot of two-ways and three-ways and these are the most satisfying speakers I've owned. |
