| Help for a vinyl novice hi all,your advice is awesome - as is all your backing information. I'm still weighing and waffling - but thanks also for the feedback. Please keep it coming? I'll post when I settle on one. And where I live it's hard to audition a specific tt; pl... | |
| Rush fans on the board ?? To judge a 40-year band by an album made 33 years ago seems myopic at best. You may be stuck in the early years of the band, but the band has moved on. Clockwork Angels represents a work as powerful and in-depth as 2112, only more mature and not a... | |
| help me decide speakers for two channel audio SLightly below your price range are the Avalon Eidolon Diamonds. I think they outperform all but the Egglestonworks. | |
| Rush fans on the board ?? And that's where "Headlong Flight" and "Clockwork Angels" come in to save the day :) | |
| Integrateds: $3K, $4.5K or $5K @devilboy- touché. I was being overly snarky. I just find it über-muddying when someone doesn't just suggest a tangent to the OP, but diverges from it altogether. And I've never heard any of the Job line before, what draws you to it?@Johnny- yes, ... | |
| Integrateds: $3K, $4.5K or $5K Wow, Devilboy - beautiful, erudite, and certainly learned prose and opinion there. You immaculately addressed the OP's question with your carefully proofread response.I think the spelling is "Puh-lease...", btw. | |
| Herbie Hancock's "The River" It deserves the Grammy for Best Album it won back in 2007. | |
| Integrateds: $3K, $4.5K or $5K The Trivista WAS a damn good amp! It deserved every bit of praise it got when it came out a decade or so ago! | |
| So sub or not to sub FWIW, I also found that swapping the Electroharmonix 6922 tubes out of the pre-amp section of the LSA and replacing them with Amperex 7308's also tightened up the bass. | |
| So sub or not to sub I used the measurements and advice in the HK Whitepapers that Reynolds posted and placed my sub in the corner behind me, facing the monitors. Changed the music incredibly for the better. I set the low-pass crossover at around 60Hz and had to dial ... | |
| Integrateds: $3K, $4.5K or $5K Please consider the LSA Statement integrated. About as wide open, spacious, transparent, and gorgeous as I've ever heard in an integrated under $10K. There's a new one on audiogon for $3300. Aside from that, the Bryston seems the best fit for your... | |
| So sub or not to sub Wow - you all are awesome. Thanks for pdf's and all the advice. | |
| So sub or not to sub Wolf, that's what I thought. Now - in relation the the two monitors, where's the best place Shirley would say to put the sub in the room? | |
| Rega Brio-R vs Creek Evolution 50A Yes - both the Creek Evo and the Creek OBH DAC I used to have were surprisingly nimble. Mike Creek knows how to design a well-balanced, affordable component. In some ways you'd be making a lateral move with the Rega-to-Creek switch, with the Creek... | |
| Rega Brio-R vs Creek Evolution 50A The Creek is going to be slightly more punchy than the Brio-R. I've owned the Brio-R and the Mira 3, as well as heard the Creek over at an audiocircle member's house a while ago. I preferred the Creek for its overall space, midrange presence, and ... |
