| Any AudiogoNers Winston Cup fans? Suddenly feel like a fish out of water? I had to finish a job this Sunday and guess what, I didnt go till after the race! I never miss a race (on tv) if I can help it and I am determined to see one at the track this year. Considering the fact that... | |
| new Johnny Cash superb/other new recommendations? Is that video a song called "Hurt"? No video has ever moved me before. "American Recordings" is excellent. The reissues of his concerts at San Quentin and Fulsom Prison include parts where he speaks to the inmate audience, very interesting. | |
| Totem's "Hawk" and "Forrest":How Hi-End Are They? I had the Ones for some time and enjoyed them immensely. I never tryed them with tube power. First of all, I bought them new and they took a looooong time to break in- sounded conjested and a little thick in the middle, a little rough in the highs... | |
| Is it taboo to mod a speaker? To address the question about changing drivers, this is not commonly done for several reasons. Crossover and bass loading are tailored to the specific drivers as a system. Each driver has its own physical and electrical charactoristics. Sometimes ... | |
| What music have you been buying lately? Jwrobinson, do the CCR vinyl remasters live up to the hype? Rlwainwright, how about the sound on the 20 bit K2 super masters? Always looking for older music that does not suffer from flat sounding later generation pressing or poor transfer to CD. ... | |
| Garbage in - Garbage out? Look at your system as a whole and find the weakest link. A different amp (or source) can profoundly change the way a speaker sounds, so the most effective upgrade is not always as simple as changing "the most important component". But you cant fi... | |
| Bridging vs. mono If a stereo amp has a power supply designed for 2 channels, it may not be as effective bridged. Some amps are better suited (some class A I believe) because of the design, but having the power supply optimized for one channel is the real advantage... | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase Same boat as Tim, I never planned on buying another motorcycle. Its been 10 years. But the deal was too good so I blew what was my new speaker money last summer and have not recovered yet. I know I am not the only one here that has to really work ... | |
| My heart goes out to the families of Columbia I remember where I was when the first shuttle tragedy happened. I believe all astronauts are heroes. I salute them. | |
| Best Frank Zappa´s Recordings Phil, Burnt Weenie has some of the commentary and has the most "experimental" music on it. Chunga's Revenge is kind of a turning point with some more conventional music, still some parody and sarcasm. Waka Jawaka and the Grand Wazoo are almost all... | |
| Best Frank Zappa´s Recordings Overnight sensation is about the last one before he lost me, no I really liked One Size Fits All. The older stuff still rules, Uncle Meat, Burnt Weenie Sandwich, Chunga's Revenge (a personal favorite often overlooked), Hot Rats, Waka Jawaka (sp?),... | |
| Best Live Recordings:Performance and recording Little Feet- "Waiting for Columbus", Allman Bros- "Live at the Filmore East", Johnny Winter And-"Live", Frank Zappa- "Live at the Filmore", "Just Another Band From L.A." | |
| Help picking first amp.... Heres a different tact: If your budget goes up to $1500, snatch up the Forte 5 that just got listed and use the $1100 you saved towards a nice preamp. I would look at the used market for the pre also. The 5 might not be the ultimate amp but its a ... | |
| Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites Somehow Spirit jumped into my head when I read the title to this thread. The 20-bit remaster of my fave Twelve Dreams of Dr.Sardonicus should be required listening for this group. "Nature's Way" was a minor hit. "Animal Zoo" and "Mr. Skin" also go... | |
| Any Jerry Douglas fans? I like the solo work he has done and also check out the all star Strength in Numbers. |
