| The Beatles Hey Shubertmaniac that '63 Plymouth Fury wasn't named "Christine" was it? Nice post. | |
| Horrific Confession and Question I would guess from some of the "True Confessions" above that for casual listening, which is what most people do, it isn't so important what you listen through so long as you are enjoying the music. So far as the Bose products go, I for one don't u... | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? Boy Craig you sure are a tough nut to crack! What's it gone to take with you? The things that tubes definitively do better IMveryHO MUCH better,is lower volume listening, that is preserve the natural ambient detail, air and dynamics of the music y... | |
| Speaker Cable Suggestions? Rick based on your speakers and 2 cable choices all of which I am familiar with, other than the amp, I would think that the Analysis Plus Oval 9's MAY work better in your system. As Sean stated the MIT's and AP are at different ends of the tonal s... | |
| MIT Tube Cables and Solid State Amps? Hi Sam - I am currently listening to a friends 750 Terminator S3 tube cable, his amp is down. It is as you say maybe more recessed (I say relaxed) but what I have noticed with every speaker cable I have had in my system is that the high frequencie... | |
| Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio) El Dragon very erotic "Bare Naked Ladies" I also like your post impressionist and cubist work. Keep pluging and remember it usually takes a rich patron to make it to the big time otherwise Picasso may have remained unknown. Albert Porter your art ... | |
| MIT Tube Cables and Solid State Amps? Thank You Simontju. I do have a question. How do you feel they color the sound? I don't own them yet (plan to soon) but I have listened in my system and find them to naturally place and space instruments in a manner that sounds very real to me. In... | |
| Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio) Yes Charlie I have listened to that one (48 lectures, it took a lot of driving time I'll tell you) He is a superb lecturer and I highly recommend it. You don't have to be a "low brow" to be humbled by Greenberg's knowledge of his topics. I think a... | |
| Vandersteen 3A sigs amp advice please I tend to agree with Fredzip80 based on my experience with Vandersteens as both an owner and having heard various set-up through the years. As John_1 states you may lose a bit in the bass department, read slam, but you gain it in the midrange, rea... | |
| Idealism, Audio and Lost Youth Right On Avguy, I suspect you are closer than some would like to admit. An actual encounter with "The Good Olde Days" would most likely bring us to a place that we remembered differently. "The Persistence of Memory" is usually a long shot from the... | |
| HiFi is an opinion - nothing more Larry I have a few simple questions for you. Are your observations based on your own analytical data with no particular interest in well reproduced audio? Sure would be interested in the details if so. Do you REALLY believe a Bose WAVE radio would... | |
| Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio) Hey Trelja How bout them Eagles? I'm in a dilemma, Eagles or Tampa Bay? Da Eagles. | |
| Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio) Well I have had so many hobbies over the years and was obsessive compulsive about each of them when I was involved. They include woodworking (28 years now, little time for this these days), swimming (the best excercise and kept me in the best shap... | |
| Best Bach Toccatta and Fugue in D Minor Jcidulka I have a version on "The Classical Collection" a Musical Heritage Society release that I've had for years the catalog # is 532814L. This one should do the trick. Harold Britton playing the Organ at Royal Albert Hall. | |
| How did U get into this expensive hobby? Craig, there is no doubt about it. Look at all the threads. If you went through them all I would bet at a minimum 90% are related to gear. Not a bad thing. I am less here for the music than input on the gear that makes the music come alive. It wou... |
