Ray LaMontagne - Got the Stuff
here's a short review of last night's concert.Marco 
Ray LaMontagne - Got the Stuff
PS The opening act, David Ford, was also fantastic and received a largely standing ovation for his innovative solo performance. Also a very passionate singer, he uses the layering of very simple acoustic loops to create a He is accompanying Ray L ... 
help Terry Cain
Thank you for the link, and for letting me know about this sad turn of events. An important note that should be added here is that Srajan Ebaen, publisher of 6moons, is using his site to help raise funds to pay for Terry's significant medical expe... 
Ray LaMontagne - Got the Stuff
My wife and I joined Peter and his friend for that concert, and I'll echo the sentiments: Fantastic concert. A soulful and powerful artist. I would put him more as a cross between Iron & Wine and Damien Rice..perhaps a bit of Elliot Smith, yes... 
can omega super3 reproduce orchestral experience?
With the right amp, Horn Shoppes can do justice to AC/DC, in-the-room acoustic bass, I think if this person is looking for "SLAM" no single-driver speaker is going to provide it. The Horn Shoppe horn goes down to only 70hz which is not even beginn... 
can omega super3 reproduce orchestral experience?
Not a chance. Speakers that small, single driver or not, just can't possibly move the volume of air to produce the illusion of some kind of 'SLAM' much less the impact of a live orchestra. That's not to say they'll not be fun to listen to, and do ... 
passive preamp matching
Keroo - This ad for your CD player would indicate it has a 2.5 V output. If detail and clarity are your passwords then you're barking up the right tree. "Transparency" is the word that comes up over and over in Placette comments, and it certainly ... 
Will the ipod be the death of the CD?
T-Bone - haven't tried the Red Wine mod, but have tried drinking red wine while listening to music (but not on my iPod). I recommend a nice Zin or Chateau Neuf de Pap. Seriously, I haven't tried Vinnie's mods but I believe they've received some go... 
passive preamp matching
What amp(s) are you using? Your setup (at least the Placette and input impedence of the amp) sounds remarkably similar to mine.Well, that's because it IS similar to yours. I'm using the Placette with the Odyssey Dual Mono, which is very similar to... 
passive preamp matching
A very strong second to the Placette recommendation. Absolutely fantastic! Like finally opening a slightly dirty window to breath fresh air and see the view unobstructed. Hey, they should use me for ad copy, eh? My setup doesn't conform to the req... 
A series of underperforming setups...Solution?
I hate to say it, but Newbee is right.Newbee and Aball; you guys oughta just rent a hotel room and get'er done ;-)Good on'ya Foster_9 for giving such a thorough accounting of your system and room for others to respond. I'd agree that clean power i... 
Can you convert a pre-amp to a headphone amp?
On a related note, the Berning MicroZOTL is a superb headphone amp, which can and does double as flea-powered amp for ultra-high efficiency (100+ db) speakers. If matched up right it actually does a very nice job as an amp. I was really impressed....
