| Are there any albums you consider perfect? Delbert McClinton Live comes pretty darn close for me. | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? For me it has to be the line from "I Wish I Were In Love Again" by Rodgers and Hart.When love conceals it soon reveals,The faint aroma of performing seals,The double-crossing of a pair of heels,I wish I were in love again.Whenever I hear the doubl... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? After 33 years of marriage it still hasn't changed. The simple but heartfelt lyrics and the equally simple melody of Jim Croce's "Time in a Bottle" is a beautiful ode.OK, I HAVE to add one more for obvious reasons. "The Way You Look Tonight" is si... | |
| McIntosh MC240 w/ Emotiva XP3 - Recommended One thing that has not been discussed is that you cannot directly compare dollar for dollar retail prices with factory direct. Equipment comes from a factory, then goes to a distributor and maybe even a wholesaler and then to a retailer, who then ... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? My Quicksilver V4's in my present system. They may not be perfect for everyone but for me they are | |
| Great MONO recordings Well, my favorite mono opera LP has to be the 1935 performance of the 1st act of Die Walkure on Angel's Great Recording series. How's this for voices: Lotte Lehmann, Emanuel List, Lauritz Melchior, Alfred Jerger, Ella Flesch Conductor: Bruno Walte... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I am coming upon this thread late, but the simplest answer is so you don't need an additional SUT and extra set of cables with all their variables. | |
| New favorite VINYL Album? Sorry but Somethin' Else with Adderly, Miles & Co. is my new favorite and simply one of the greatest jazz albums of all time!! The stars lined up and this is definitely one of the LP's in the heavenly record rack if you catch my drift. | |
| Direct Drive turntables Well I have to put in my 2 cents for my DD table. A Kenwood KD-600, with an SME III tonearm and a VDH MM1 cartridge. Still going strong after some 20 years. I did replace the cartridge (had an Adcom MM) but nothing else. Sounds great with my older... | |
| Converting DVI to HDMI is it worth doing or just b This is related to the above post and please forgive me if it sounds stupid. I have a pre/pro with DVI. It also came with an accessory box for DVI to HDMI. Now if my TV is not an HD model, then the box is irrelevant, I assume, and I should just us... | |
| Next step: tube pre or tube power amp? I cannot believe that this whole discussion went by without anybody asking his room size, the kind of music he listens to and how loud? Those were the major considerations for me when I decided I wanted to go back to separates. For example, I have... | |
| Help to upgrade my surround processor Actually I am one of those heretics who believe you can run music and surround if you know how to "separate" (get it?) them. Amps are Quickie V4's and a Sonogy Black Knight powering my Sforzando JL1's (satellites and bass units respectively with a... | |
| Help to upgrade my surround processor Very good responses. The Classe is out of my price range. I like the proceed. Nguyen when you say upgrade to a avp2, do you mean buy an avp2 or can the avp s be upgraded? Looks like my best bets are the proceed, anthem or sunfire. | |
| Cambridge Audio or Outlaw Audio? Well not only against Cambridge, but with new Outlaw 990's being reduced to $699, my guess would be that there is very little competition at that price. You would certainly have to spend some very serious bucks (you couldn't even get an old Lexico... | |
| Listening for tube degradation Newbie, how often do you listen, because 2000 hrs on power tubes at 2 hours every day equals about 3 years? I don't have any friends that put that many hours on their system. |
