| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? Prof-Great choices. Have heard Dunlavy and Meadowlark speakers but never Hales. The Hales Transcendence 8 has always been on my "wanted" vintage speaker list due to the rave reviews and build quality. | |
| What are your favorite speaker finishes? White(mother of pearl) on any Kharma speaker! On more modest speakers the Satin Sycamore on KEF Reference Series is a long time favorite. With budget speakers the Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 in Walnut Veneer is a standout! FWIW have always been a fan o... | |
| Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of Many selections are way to mainstream... Doobie Brothers/Joe Walsh(lol)! Also does the OP want only vinyl releases? | |
| Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of Sally Rogers-Love Will Guide Us. I doubt more then 20k copies were pressed and it was never released on CD(to my knowledge). | |
| Where should I spend my $2000? Chuke076-If you increased your budget to $2500 you must consider(used) the SF Venere 3.0 or Focal 826W. I would give the edge to the SF, because IMO you will get rewarded with future upgrades in electronics. The Focal is more forgiving when regard... | |
| Where should I spend my $2000? Mapman-Not all tweaks are snake oil. "Always do what your afraid to do".(Emerson) | |
| Where should I spend my $2000? Locate the weak link(s) in your system. IMO the cables are the weak link. What power cords are being used? Have not heard Def Techs(any models)in over 10+ years but can only assume these should also be replaced. Selling the Rotel and both speakers... | |
| Best integrated up to $6000 Ghasley/Erasto-Unless someone is in financial distress a properly working ARC VSi 75 or VAC 160i cannot be found for <6k. I mentioned the MAC-MA2275 because this is the best tube int. I have heard at $4500 (retail when new). Mastersound(Italy) ... | |
| Best recorded rock song ? I will try to avoid the obvious and mention Billy Idol-White Wedding. Thx Dave 72, will check out that Thin Lizzy track! | |
| Best integrated up to $6000 Jeff Rowland Concentra 2. If you want to go tubes the McIntosh MA2275. You could build a near SOTA system around these amps! | |
| U-Discover Mag Lists The 50 Greatest Jazz Albums Being influential should not be a major criteria when critiquing the performance of a recording. It is irrelevant if "Head Hunters" influenced hip hop or that "Bitches Brew" helped create a genre know as fusion jazz. I think Miles is still laughin... | |
| Greatest Children musicians of all times I agree with Sarah Chang. No other musician(I know of) has her resume of work while being under 18. | |
| Looking for a small, good receiver Ditto-Denon DRA-CX3! | |
| Starting out Audiophile separates? Chanceshaw-You can do better then Emotiva for less money! As for synergy Magnepan speakers seem to work well with Class D amplifiers(Denon DRA-CX3) maybe it's the high damping factor? With the NAD S300 it sounded great with various speakers-Linn/M... | |
| Starting out Audiophile separates? Congrats on your HEA journey! Don't let any setbacks discourage you, remember it's about the music. If you like a variety of music the Magnepan MMG is your best starting point. The best(sounding) extreme budget amp(I know) is the NAD S300. There n... |
