| Luxman L505u . . . why not? Chashas1I agree, and mentioned specifically above there is a price difference in the thousands. I have not actually seen the 38 SQ at retail. It is a very known model to the Japanese.It appears not to be distributed here yet. PS: The founder of Le... | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? After reading this chain, I decided to do a retail test as well. I brought out four pieces of music: Paul Kelly, May 1992, Spoon's Ga Ga Ga, Booker T's Potato Head, and MGMT's debut album. I used Luxman's CD player to standardize the input. I then... | |
| Least compressed GawdblessI have seen the quality of their vinyl vary sharply. Hard to hear master quality sound on the middle period stuff like Houses of the Holy. I think the DVD was a major milestone in sound, and I am awaiting the remixed albums on vinyl. Like... | |
| Least compressed I agree with Midnight Oil's Earth Sun and Moon. I use that as my reference disc, especially Song 7, which has some of the best slam ever. I also like Neil Young's "Eldorado" and "Complex Sessions" (two "to the trade" CDs that can be found on eBay)... | |
| What is the best DAC under $2000 and why? Benchmark. | |
| ATC Speaker Upgrades - Amp & Gloss Black Finish Agree with Shadorne. You may wish to look at the pro line ATC 16s and 40s. I own 150s in a pro studio environment and they are "overkill" for most consumers. | |
| McIntosh MC 275 Mk IV or V with Harbeth M-40.1? My father had the original 275 for 40 years with never a sick day. I concur with the 40.1s--incredible speakers that will play to the amps strengths. I can also recommend ATC 19s and Spendor A6s. | |
| Shout out for Neil Young's Sugar Mountain Live LP Massey is the best of the four archival projects (The 1992 Harvest Moon sessions came out two months ago). Very intimate for a recording, a simple two track, but the vocals are incredible for that time period. Would highly recommend it in vinyl. A... | |

| Van Halen or Van Hagar Van Halen. I grew up with the boys. I remember seeing them as Mammoth at keggar parties. | |
| Name your lame duck artist........ LoomisIt is called alcohol and swimming. He joined the Dennis Wilson Swim Club that night. | |
| Name your lame duck artist........ TT: "Grace" is more about a sense of mood, and also needs to be placed next to the other prevelant music of the day, which was largely Grunge in 1992. A very quiet album next to that music, so I guess it was about contrasts. I have the vinyl versi... | |
| Name your lame duck artist........ Pardon me, that is Foo Kin Noodles. A ten minute walk from the Crown, same side of the street. | |
| Name your lame duck artist........ TT: your mum and I had a spot of green tea at Foo Ken noodles. | |
| Name your lame duck artist........ TT: Notorious BIG's "The Ten Commandments of Crack" was on heavy rotation at the Bongo House over the weekend, along with Ice Cube's "Had a good day." Some really good tunes came out in the 1990s. |
