| Watching Roger Waters on Conan I'm just glad he did the "you can't have any pudding! . . ." bit. Made my night. | |
| Amplifier upgrade suggestions by the way, I should have said that don't know nor am I associated with the seller of the M200's. | |
| Amplifier upgrade suggestions given your budget range, and if you really do like your 555ii, one option is buy another one as you're contemplating, but rather than run it in bridged, run each of them in "single stereo". This is where you only use one channel of each for each s... | |
| Tips for buying used Vinyl needed Buy a record cleaner and you will be shocked at what a high % of used vinyl will sound just great. Absolutely required - especially for used vinyl. Some clean them manually - which didn't work for me as I lacked the patience. When buying used viny... | |
| Have you ever got emotionally attached alas I get emotionally attached to alot of gear. I still have my first 2 sets of speakers (vintage 1968 Wharfedales), and vintage 1975 Infinity Monitor IIa's). But after getting back into this hobby in earnest in ~2000, I have a number of pieces I... | |
| Best recording audiophile level albums of 2010 I am not falling for another Newsom CD, sounded like Bjorks twin autistic sister geeze, I wish I had seen your post before I bought my first (and only) Joanna Newsom cd! | |

| Have you been Shpongleized? I had never heard of Shpongle before this thread, though I really like this genre. I ordered "nothing lasts . . ." and received it yesterday. I agree it's great, but I find some of the "eastern music" vocals mildly distracting. This is on first li... | |
| does a subwoofer kill stereo sound? Regarding soundstage... In my own experience adding a subwoofer seems to perceptually expand the soundstage, particularly the depth. Larry Greenhill has mentioned the same effect in his subwoofer reviews for Stereophile.This is exactly my experien... | |
| does a subwoofer kill stereo sound? I find the contrary to be the case, provided you have a good sub, properly integrated. The deep bass opens up the sound stage a lot as compared to a stereo that rolls off at ~50hz +, and in no way degrades the stereo separation or imaging. | |
| Transmission Line Bass the most satisfying bass performance I've heard is from my vintage 1975 Infinity Monitor IIa's. The bass is deep and full without being overwhelming. They are rated flat to 22hz. I still have those speakers but also now have Von Schweikert VR4genI... | |
| Music that really stirs your emotions I have a some more more . . . Mike Oldfield "Ommadawn" always puts me in a trance, although recently not as deep of a trance as I experienced when I was young (and had some chemical help). Andrew Lloyd Weber - Requiem - especially "Pie Jesu"Verde ... | |
| von schweikert vr 4 the fix would be to replace the Pot. I've had this happen on a guitar amp - the sweeper became dislodged from the shaft in my case (as Ckoffend suggests). Pots are cheap, and not hard to replace. I'd call Von Schweikert before doing anything though. | |
| AVRAK Rotating Gear Racks I've never seen or heard of them. While I like the idea, and the pics look very nice, I see a few significant problems. Kennyt hit on the cabling issues. The pics of their cabling look great, but I can't imagine it coming out that perfect. I think... | |
| The Orb: Metallic Spheres I have it and like it a lot (after 2 spins). The jury's still out on whether it's going to get regular play for a long timer. It's nothing like his solo work, nor Pink Floyd, other than the fact it's Prog, and you can hear his voice in the mix. |
