| Great female voices "Give the kid a break. "She's very talented for her age.Not sure how much more of a "break" I can give her.I just do not find a grade school child singing the traditional blues very compelling. Its more disturbing to me than entertaining. That son... | |
| Best integrated up to $6000 Rogue Pharoah for half that amount just might be all the amp most people will ever need, especially for those who also need phono. It's very good! I would consider downsizing to it someday. | |
| Who is going to the Capital Audiofest? So how was it this year? Anything new or different to create a buzz?I did not see much in the preliminary show adverts to that end, but I would have liked to have been able to go anyhow because you never know what you might discover listening live. | |
| Great female voices She's very unique for a little kid, singing like a much older and affected singer. But at that age I suspect its mostly imitation. How affected and genuine can someone that age be singing the blues like the immortal Dinah Washington? VEry impressi... | |
| Snobbiest audio websites "To be specific: Cable Asylum...and humorless too."And one would expect what there exactly? Wires tend to be somewhat controversial leaving little room for humor.No room for humor says a lot about the validity of whatever might be going down there. | |
| "Audio Gone" question for Audiogon experts I will likely never part with my NAD 7020 receiver. Its an oldie but goodie. The pre-amp in particular, including phono still sounds great even in comparison to more modern and much more expensive gear. The 20 w/ch amp sets a high bar as well with... | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... Dylan's latter recordings starting with time out of mind are some of my favorites from him so he broke that model to a large extent in my mind. | |
| Bose 901's with "highend ancillaries"?? Yes all good installs I have heard are suspend from ceiling which makes for a useful alternative for some in some rooms. | |
| "Audio Gone" question for Audiogon experts Play with controls and switches and see if volume is restored at all. Volume balance and input switches in particular. If that helps at all a good cleaning of switches and pots would be in order. I have heard similar with my trusty old nad 3020 . | |
| Bose 901's with "highend ancillaries"?? Good point by al (as usual). | |
| In Memoriam: Bobby Palkovich of Merlin Music He seemed very passionate about what he did. That says a lot. | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... I never know what to say about Springsteen other than I like some of his stuff. Mostly his early stuff like Marty but also doteot and the river to some extent. Born in the USA is ok too. I have his live box set. It's just ok. And this from a Rutge... | |
| REVIEW: The Fritz Carbon 7 SE ++ DgarretsonIf I were a small audio vendor ( I am not one at all) I would look to any venue possible to help get word of my product out that can help keep my overhead low and then pass that on to my customers by offering a better value than they ... | |
| Bose 901's with "highend ancillaries"?? You might want to check for any independent measurements that might be published for 901s showing impedance and phase angle curves, also efficiency, ie the measurements that typically determine whether a speaker will be an easy load to drive (for ... | |
| Bose 901's with "highend ancillaries"?? HAve never owned Bose nor been strongly inclined.Had friends with them in their dorm rooms in college. They never impressed me there, but as mentioned I have heard some nice sounding 901 pro/commercial installs. The right room and some installatio... |
