| Do you listen alone or with guest s I'm with Viridian on this. My dog is almost always there with me listening and shows his appreciation of certain music by laying in the lower sweet spot on the floor. My wife enjoys listening to classical music and her listening is generally backg... | |
| If you could only keep 5 Lp vinyl which ones Tpreaves grabbed all my favorites so I'll have to go with the second choices although like Elizabeth I'd have to keep all of some musicians(Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Van the Man, Miles, Keith Jarrett, Bruce, etc, etc...Van Morrison- Astral WeeksMiles... | |
| Dumbest reason you were drawn.... Flash back nearly 40 years.. I bought a pair of Audio Project speakers which were Bose 901 knockoffs (looked just like them) and when I opened the pair the wood was laying loose from one speaker. The store, Lafayette Stereo outside Baltimore, inti... | |
| Maggies I use Pass X600.5s with my Magnepan 20.1 speakers and after many systems in pursuit of satisfaction in this hobby I am extremely satisfied with this combination. The 20.1s do need a lot of power to sound their best so my recommendation would be to... | |
| Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett Keith Jarrett is in my opinion one of the best jazz musicians of his generation. I've enjoyed his music from Koln Concert to present and he never ceases to amaze me with his artistry. I would love to see him in concert and plan to if he ever comes... | |
| Blue Ray Concert discs I never tire of "The Last Waltz", The Band's farewell concert. Can't believe it's been over 30 years, ouch. | |
| Jeff Rowland Funny, I was just reading the article you mention but you are confusing the Plinius recommendation with the Rowland recommendation. In the article John Marks recommends early model Rowland products through the Concentra II and also recommends all ... | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- ....... it's Friday night and you're adding to or reading a "you know you're an audiophile if...." on Audiogon. | |
| Record Clamp for Well Tempered Turntable Ebuzz, I have never tried a mat on the Reference TT. It sounds great stock so I leave it alone. | |
| Record Clamp for Well Tempered Turntable I just received an order from Stanalog last week. George gave me regular updates on a web problem they were having that kept me from ordering the week before last. He may be a little slow to respond sometimes but he will get back to you from my ex... | |
| High End Audio in Portland Oregon I echo Joman's recommendation and I would also check out Pearl Audio in the Pearl District (great place to spend a day), Stereotypes and Fred's east of the river and The Audio Gallery in Lake Oswego. There's also Magnolia and Chelsea Audio/Video i... | |
| Life after Maggies? I have owned the Maggie 1.6's, 3.6's and currently own the 20.1's so I understand your appreciation of the Maggie speakers. I have a smaller room where I have a second system and I use the Harbeth SHL-5 speakers. They are excellent speakers and gi... | |
| Any good Audio stores in and around Portland? Hey, Mike aka Horseface, I think you and Marty covered it pretty well. I would definately put Echo and Pearl on my must see list. Kurt and John are gonna have to put us on the payroll. If you can head South about 10 miles go to The Audio Gallery. ... | |

| Cables for B&W Nautilus 802 I only wish Judy426 had enlightened me years ago. I've owned a few of their speakers over the years, including my current Nautilus 800 Signatures, and have been mistakenly enjoying them immensely. Oh well, perhaps Judy426 will let me know what spe... |
