| Speakers for a newbie Room size is important as well as your sonic preferences. What sound characteristics matter to you most? | |
| Must see music Movie "Sugar Man." Saw him play on late night show, forget which...I like him. | |
| Emma Watson- audiophile? House's SOTA turntable, celebrities talking about vinyl, not a big deal- but I can only see it as a positive. As the industry goes further toward all digital, I fear soon music will only be available online. Recording quality is already suffering,... | |
| Speakers for low power tube amplifier You might also look at Tekton. | |
| Preamp, Amp, Subwoofer You can run the monitors "full range", connect the sub from the pre-out of your preamp. If your preamp has only 1 output, you can use an adapter or cable splitter. -In my experience-, using a decent adapter does not degrade the signal. Then the tr... | |
| Any bookshelves with horn-loaded tweeters? HSU, have not heard them. | |
| Brandi Carlile Missed the Asheville show, but I have tickets for Nov. 2 in Charlotte! | |
| Modern day female jazz recommendations Old threads never die...Not jazz. Just having a new love affair with Brandi Carlile. Discovered her watching Austin City Limits featuring Roseanne Cash, she was the second artist. Extraordinary voice, songwriting. Love to listen to "Oh Dear" on th... | |
| Headphones? Anyone? When I started getting back into headphones I was worried that I would be disappointed. Well, turns out I'm not!I have found great pleasure with all of my phones.My most recent addition is a portable amp. Having come across different amps on "that... | |
| Headphones? Anyone? Just picked up a mint (less than 50 hrs) set of AKG K702 phones from a freind. Guy started at $175 and kept dropping. When he got too low I had to bite! Listening to "I am Shelby Lynn", and I am loving them! Four cans I have bagged go for $560 (st... | |
| Klipsch forte II what league are they in? With about 10wpc from 20' on my deck, "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road" sounds incredible. My moronically cheap T-amp/Playstation 1/ Forte II combo still amazes me! $81 source and amp...people just shake their heads... | |
| Best sounding reggae on analog? Nina Hagen is for those who think there just isn't enough yodeling in reggae. I recommend "Nunsexmonkrock" if you want the full Nina Hagen experience. OK,I confess, I love her.I like compilation reggae albums, few artists (imo)other than Bob Marle... | |
| Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ??? Heat wave, 103-104 last week. Used my PS1 outside while I played with my little one in her pool during peak temps without issue. Don't think I will be buying a $200 power cord or $50 fuse for it. Wouldn't it make more sense to bypass the fuse and ... | |
| Headphones? Anyone? I'm listening to Jethro Tull "Benefit" on some audio-technica ATH-A700s I picked up used locally on Craig's List as I write. I have enjoyed them to compare with my KRK KNS 8400s. Both are pretty nice sounding, each with their own strengths and wea... | |
| Brandi Carlile She did "Raise Hell" which I have not heard before: loved it! Ok, just realized I called her "fabulous" and just said "loved it!" Use the right inflection and it sounds like that movie critic sketch from "In Living Color"! |
