| Your favorite recent discovery I like Nantang Tatang, a few members from Ida made their own album, it is part acoustic and part new wave, plus it is mellow.slipknot1I have My Morning Jacket on my list of albums to buy but do not know which one, or if they have more than one alb... | |
| Looking for Speaker Recommendation JM Reynaud Trente or, if you can afford them, Offrande.These Reynaud speakers have a wonderful musical quality, more expressive than the Vandersteens 2CE Sig I have heard. | |
| Pass Lab X1 and X250 - Which XLR? on my system Audience AU24 are great ICs with superb detail and a forward image with a great bass that is not heavy but instead involving and natural with nice skin effects on drums etc. Also their detail is not bright or etched in the slightest. ... | |
| What is the best DVD/CD player under $1000? FWIWI know the Pioneer 47AI is better than the 47 which proceeded it, I compared the Pioneer 47 and my Sony DVPS 9000 ES which is much better overall so I bought the Sony. You may want to include the Sony on your list. | |
| Add subwoofer to current speakers or upgrade? IMHO a subwoofer is the last thing I would want to bother with and like the 3A idea, which sogood51 mentions would have the better midrange too. | |
| Would Audiogoners be interested in this? YES YES YES | |
| comparation between Magnepan & KEF ref. series The Maggie is very critical of components upstream from them, especially the power amp which needs a lot of current to drive them properly. Also I think they work best in a larger room, bigger than my 13 x 22 x 8 room I used mine in as the QR midr... | |
| Best Monitor speaker - low volume level listening JMR Trentes play well with a full and revealing sound at low volumes per my experience. | |
| Why no Tori Amos What are the best Tori Amos albums?I really like her but she has so many albums I wonder what would be best to start with. I prefer quieter stuff usually.ThanksPhil | |
| Rogue 88, Marsh A400S, or Audio Research VS110? I had the Rogue Magnum 99 and thought it had terrific bass. I also owned the 88 Magnum and went to 120 Magnum and though the main improvement was in the top end (cleaner with less artifacts) and separation. IMO the bass was comparable between the ... | |
| Pass Labs X-350 vs Parasound JC-1 Monoblocks? FWIWMartin DeWolff of Bound for Sound mentioned the JC1 has a slightly sweeter top end than the X250 (not X350), he did not go into too much detail. | |
| Maggie 1.6 - Best Amp? Thinking about tubes. I agree that it costs too much to use tubes. I had Rogue Magnum 120s with my Maggie 1.6s and they ran out of steam pretty quickly. In comparison with 3 other amps that were all solid state, the Rogues sounded lifeless. This was with Rogue 99 Magnu... | |
| Reliability/Repair Issues w/Sony 9000es DVD player I have had problems with mine not reading SACDs, sometimes it will not read one and the next day it the same disc will play! Also it is finicky about playing some DVDs and I get the 0013 message (unplayable disc). I can not believe Sony and the pr... | |
| need some suggestions for Acoustics Blues I cast my vote for Mississippi John Hurt as well, very pleasent and smooth to listen to. | |
| Tom Waitts Where do I begin? Mule Variations is very good if you can get past all the effects and odd sounds (to add texture?) he uses. |
