| New Music: Oh Laura Clicked on a few short sample cuts of this album at AMG, the girl sounds very sweet. I always fall for "pretty" girl voices. Checking with my sources it appears to be CD only. I'll continue to look, if comes up as LP I may buy it. Thanks for the h... | |
| Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2008 I just purchased my round trip air, hotel room (on site) and registered for my badge.This show is a must in my opinion, more fun and laid back than CES with lots of time to listen and visit with other music lovers. | |
| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital You're going to get answers all over the place. Basically, if you're happy with digital and never owned analog, you are not likely to be prepared for all the work involved to make LP playback enjoyable. Musical enjoyment is basically a trade off b... | |
| What Cartridges to use with Triplanar IIV Tonearm? Dynavector XV1s is wonderful with Triplanar. | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? Isn't it fun when you can do that for someone Albert? It's a similar thrill introducing someone to your system who you know appreciates live music.Yes, I agree. I must admit there was bit of selfish motive in putting this together. I wanted to "pr... | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? I can't answer maximum dollar invested and still quality as "budget." I think that's the responsibility and opinion of the system owner.I put together a system for a friend, all used equipment bought through Audiogon. Total was about $1500.00 and ... | |
| Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics: Yep, I don't doubt it. Maybe I'll get the courage to obtain the zillion brass bolts required for my 24 woofers and get to the job one day. | |
| Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics: Tvad,I kept waiting for you to say the wrench lost grip of the hex driver, slipped and went through a woofer. A real relief to read you lost only time and not parts.This is the same outcome as my test. I admit I did not even look for brass screws,... | |
| Circuit breakers Are you in the UK? I ask because I don't think their products are distributed in the USA. | |
| Bjork Volta YES, it's wonderful, I play it often. However my copy is One Little Indian, pressed in the EU. Volta contains some strange studio mixes, processed sounds and electronic blips that twist around in the extreme high frequencies, but if your turntable... | |
| LP for fathers day ideas please............ Pryso, regarding: So why should other countries sync with the US? Did this idea come from the egocentric Bush Administration? If this truly presents a problem, why not select a new date for everyone? Pryso,If you look, Maineiac ended his comment w... | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? Dave,"Making" yourself hear a difference NEVER works. You need to relax with your own system. Live with a system for a few weeks before ever considering a "tweak".I agree with that 100%. I I've always advocated long term, relaxed listening. I woul... | |
| LP for fathers day ideas please............ Chadnliz,Fathers Day in the USA is the 15th but In Lithuania, Austria and Belgium it's the 7th or 8th. Maybe Jloveys is an Audiogon member from there. The good news? If you miss buying dad a gift on the 15th in the USA, the 17th is correct for El ... | |
| solder-Eutechnic,Wonder,WBT?? Another vote for Wonder Solder or WBT. You're on the right track, hard to go wrong with any of these suggestions. | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? You guys are embarrassing me. The equipment in my system is as Jax2 says, a lifetime achievement.Considering all the work and time I've put in, it's really not that much. Had I spent the time studying the stock market I would be much more successf... |
