| Nait 5i speaker choices What Emil said -- I heard the 5i with Vandy 1c's and thought the combo sounded great. | |
| system synergy Mechans,Gee I'm sorry for your trouble. It must be a terrible burden you are under. I had no idea. I'm sorry if my glib and terse reply offended. I wish you all good days.I'm still not clear, though. Exactly which combination of preamp/amp do you ... | |
| system synergy Thanks, Tholt. Mechans: that's a pretty incoherent ranting ramble you just went on. But one thing. Why on Earth would you think my P-300 Motif CR* combo slow? Especially without knowing what the speakers are (Thiel CS2 2). Doesn't sound slow to me... | |
| system synergy Ngjockey: You say: "I think you have the better combination already but vintage means many things."Might you elaborate on either or both parts of that?And Tholt:The rated output impedance of the CR8 is "less than 200 ohms"; the rated input impedan... | |
| Are singers musicians? Suggested definition: Musician = someone who makes music. That'll help if you define "music". Good bloody luck.How about: Music: what musicians make qua musician. Helpful. huh?If you hate it and can't imagine why anyone would like it, is it still ... | |
| best vocal harmonies in rock Zappa. See especially Freak Out, Ruben and the Jets, You are What You Is, Thingfish. | |
| BOB DYLAN DEBUT LP STEREO ??? I find many early stereo mixes unlistenably artificial and weird. Why are the drums all over there? Where's the middle? Why (as with the Dylan) is the guitarists mouth six feet to the side of his instrument?The mono mixes re way better. But I stil... | |
| Are singers musicians? What on Earth is the point of asking such a question, and what on Earth makes you suppose there is a "technical" sense of "musician" that determines the answer, or that anyone should care about? | |
| Vinyl Back in Black Review Sadly, I've been unimpressed with both the Disreli Gears and the Layla and Other Love Songs. Compressed, brittle, noisy. Great music,though. | |
| Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far Well that can't be, since Love and Theft was itself (yet) better than Time Out of Mind. But Together is good, huh? is it an all analog affair? I imagine not. | |
| All vandersteen users ? Not a Vandy owner, and would be interested to read what others have to say. But I have recently moved from smaller to biggger amps, and have been pleased with the relative effortlessness and lack of congestion I seem to hear, at least with less ef... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Simple: Jean is on hiatus, so he's not here inspiring queries or quarrels. raves or outrages! Without his prodding, we're probably all just listening to our Lencos instead. | |
| Can I drive Thiel CS 2 2 with a Forte' F 55? Hi,I went from EIV's (not EII's) to CS2 2's. And I've powered both with higher wattage amps than the Forte, so I can only speculate. I do suspect it may be a challenge. Can't speak for the EII's, but the EIV's were an easier load than the CS2 2's,... | |
| Denon DL-103 -- Was it a mistake? No I'm not. I think it's constructive to point out when someone is erroneously acting as if he or she has reasons to think there may be something amiss with a product -- especially one as widely admired as the DL103. Just what constructive point i... | |
| Denon DL-103 -- Was it a mistake? As a matter of psychology, at least some people will take away a negative impression of the DL103 from your reported dissatisfaction with it, despite the disclaimers that you didn't have it set up properly. That's why I think it's borderline irres... |
