| Talk but not walk? Are you trying to educate or pacify your obvious boredom? No need to mention names you know who you are. Your barrage of supercillious commentary on this and a multitude of threads is benign enough except when you attack people in a needless way o... | |
| Dynaco A25 -Hard to Believe My system in the early 70s consisted of A25s, a Scott Integrated and a cheap plastic Garrard table with an equally cheap Pickering cartridge, very fond memories of those days. I can easily imagine that those speakers with a few upgrades and good/e... | |
| Wow moments while listening to vinyl records All I can say 2channel is I just love your eclectic choices, my kind of music man, btw how about Robert Preston why we're at it? 😁 | |
| New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000 Well ain't they grand. | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature Speakers Never an accused fanboy but one the less. Believe me ( where have I heard that before?) Steens can and DO large scale classical. I owned and lived with a pair for 10 years, the last 4 in an impossible room/situation as three subsequent speakers co... | |
| Wow moments while listening to vinyl records "88 Basie Street" Count Basie and Orchestra originally released by Pablo Records. The 45 RPM reissue was a WOW moment for me when a friend brought over a copy to compare with my Japanese JVC XRCD. Unfortunately difficult to find as it was a quite ... | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? Words of wisdom and just getting to the crux of the matter Larsky and Wolf. It is always striking to me how pedantic these topics can evolve into. Enjoy the music! | |
| Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!) Another for Reference 3a, I haven't listened to any of their speakers than are less than sublime, especially for the price, the DeCapos are amazing, reproduction of piano, my thing, is about as close to real as you'll get out of a small monitor wi... | |
| Magico A3 A well reasoned and seemingly experienced post Folkfreak. Not having heard too many Magico demos and all among the S series, my verdict is out on their products. One thing that always has impressed me is the heroic efforts Magico expends in using ... | |
| Schiit not that Good? Gdhal so true, maybe their greatest legacy aside from Rock’s first and foremost "jam band" is allowing themselves to be recorded during their concerts. Agreed, Workingsman Dead and American Beauty are definitely the place to start to those unfamil... | |
| Schiit not that Good? Speaking of Jerry, since we're on the topic, I always looked at the Dead concerts as a happening, certainly nothing too substantive in the big picture as any kind of seminal band that had a real impact. Just kind of cool place to hang for 5 hours.... | |
| Schiit not that Good? Amen to that Wolf, and cutting to the chase of the matter. I appreciate it particularly in a seemingly growing climate of silly narratives and out and out nonsense. Go Schitt just faster, need to generate more dust!Disclaimer no fanboy or vested ... | |
| Trouble in Fleetwood Mac....... Chayro, Bob Welch and Danny Kirwan maybe? Can any fan forget the memorable music from the early 70’s albums. Maybe not in the realm of the classic mid 70’s era with LB and SN. I still listen to "Future Games" and love it. Different eras and one of... | |
| Trouble in Fleetwood Mac....... Too bad you missed the "Rumours" tour, not so disappointing. | |
| Tube Preamps..... I haven’t heard the Don Sachs but it looks nice plus he’ll work with you on upgrades to my understanding, a big plus. I have lived with a 6SN7 based output tube preamp up to a few years ago, still have it but it doesn’t hold a candle to my Bill Th... |
