| Sony playstation 1 No second-grader would be caught dead with a Playstation 1. They sell them to audiophiles. | |
| Cables for Harbeth-Luxman match? If you like to listen on the louder side, the Bada 225 from Pacific Valve is very nice. 95 watt, tube hybrid - $1200. One month money back. | |
| Headphones? Anyone? When your budget is $100-$250, your choices are limited. Everybody wants great stuff, but doesn't want to spend. Doesn't happen. Sorry. I would say the $100 Sonys are pretty good, but not great. | |
| Unusual TAS bomb We'll probably find out that the unit had a bad cap or tube or whatever and the new unit will undoubtedly be spectacular. | |
| Best Place/Way To Sell My CD Collection? I sold a bunch of CDs to J&R Music World. I forgot how much they gave me, but it was probably a couple of bucks each and it was an easy sale. | |
| Jadis JA-30 vs JA-50 need opinions I would contact the distributor and find out who will service the amp should a problem arise. You don't want to have to ship it back to France, do you? Unless you live there, of course! Nothing wrong with brands like Jadis, Metronome, Audio Aero -... | |
| Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's Pehare - It goes to show that the song is the key to great music. Take away the great songs and all you get is bad music played well. Reminds me of Rush. | |
| Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's Lord Sutch. There should be a law. | |
| the Harbeth time has come to my place Harbeths work very well with the Epos open-frame stands. A lot of people use Skylans, but I found they deadened the sound. IMO. They are indeed something special - if you like Harbeths. Wonderful vocal reproduction at moderate volumes. Not to crit... | |
| How much is my custom organ speaker worth? I would assume from the battle axes that it had the shit beaten out of it, so I wouldn't think it would draw too much. I have to admit it's sort of cool though. | |
| Wilson Audio Sasha break-in time ? For you or the speaker? Changing speakers is tough and every record sounds different than you're used to. Give it a month for both of you. This way you'll forget what your last speakers sounded like and accept the new ones on their own merit, or l... | |
| Modded Cambridge Audio 550C player. Rating?? Mapleshade speaker wire, ICs and power strip sound very bright, so it's no wonder that Pierre Sprey likes a less-forward CD player to balance them out. That said, I would try putting the unit on some hard footers or cones, which Mapleshade also re... | |
| Good bass test tracks on vinyl Morph the Cat- Donald Fagan. I really don't care for the music, but I guess it's good for breaking in speakers, if nothing else. Erika Badu "Baduism" has deep synth bass and good music to boot. If you go for that sort of stuff. | |
| Thinking of an upgrade for my turntable system? What about a decent pair of headphones? The Denon AH-d1100 are $200. Denons sound very good and are easy to drive. Stay away from Beats and Bose and all that noise-cancelling crap. They are for planes and subways, not serious listening. Grados are... | |
| What next? Buy a record player. Even a Music Hall MMF-7 is good enough to give you a good taste of what it's about. If you don't like it, you can sell it at a couple hundred bucks loss. |
