| Thoughts on Big Star Thirteen is one of my favorite songs ever, simple but brilliant.There's also a nice relatively new reissue of Third with many alternative versions, demos etc. Not the place to start, but a winner for fans.If you are a huge fan, PM me with you emai... | |
| Technical Network Streamer Question Oh, it matters. It’s a bigger topic than you might imagine. I suggest reading the archives here and at computeraudiophile.Rather than focus on one or to the other of those mentioned, consider a few things :Files stored on a NAS in another room con... | |
| My dilemma Maggie will tell you that plenty of tube amps are the best matches. The best I've heard them was with big Rogue monoblocks. OTOH, a number of dealers show Maggies with Mac solid state amps...If you are into Mac, that's an option. The big BAT ss am... | |
| SET v. Pushpull Many excellent replies! You really want to do some listening to a variety of tube amps. Many tubes sound quite different and of course designs of a given tube do as well. There are a number of push pull amps that allow you to roll EL34s, 6550s and... | |
| BE VERY CAREFUL OF YOUR DEALINGS ON AUDIO-ASYLUM Will, even if this works out, I think you were a bit naive and gave this seller too much slack. When communication ceases it usually indicates an issue. Everyone has global access to email etc. "I was on a trip" isn't valid in today's world. After... | |
| Colibri or Hummingbird? How is the problematic setup grounded? Have you tried the Colibri on the other arms and gotten no hum? Cheers,Spencer | |
| Please help me figure out what I need to do this. My head spins with tech talk.. With all due respect, many posts here give very short-sighted advice which might address the original question re: CD player, but not the big picture. OTOH, @mahler123 , @@2psyop glennewdick , and @2psyop point you to a better direction for long t... | |
| The current best band in the world? Well played, @bdp24 ! @rhutch A Deeper Understanding was my favorite new album of last year. It seems to unveil new layers every time I hear it. #new_tsop Cheers,Spencer | |
| Wilson benesch I've got a friend who owns ACTs. PM me with your email and I'll ask him to contact you. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Seeking listening help in Austin area @geoffkait @audiokinesis Thanks for the comments, but there's no trouble getting proper volume at normal distance in my setup. What I meant is that my speakers probably would not be a great candidate for the OP to use to test his 50w amp. In fact,... | |
| The current best band in the world? @slaw Nah, in my book, Son Volt is like one of those pre-season Super Bowl favorites that didn't make the playoffs. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Marty Balin has passed away. In tribute to Marty check out the Rock Legends episode on Jefferson Airplane. Marty's dedication and passion are evident. Listen to Rickie Lee Jones cover of Comin' Back To Me on her Pop Pop lp. It will move you. RIP Marty. Cheers,Spencer | |
| The current best band in the world? It's Wilco.They hit most of my hot buttons. The most important being a sustained body of work that both develops their own sound and takes just enough chances to push their boundaries in different directions from album to album. Not many bands hav... | |
| Seeking listening help in Austin area Too bad my Sound Lab full electrostatics need more power. 86db on a good day. Good luck Barry, it's gonna be tough. If you just want to borrow my ears, I am happy to come listen to them anywhere around Austin. Cheers,Spencer |
