| Planar Speakers and Diffusors I use a wool blanket over my 65” as well. I’ve been a Martin Logan user since 1979, and still using them. | |
| Kind of Blue There’s a reason it’s the number 1 jazz selling album of all time. It’s that popular, and a personal favorite that I’ve owned too many versions over the years. My favorites were the 180 gram and 200 gram releases on major vinyl release companies. | |
| Are You a Swifty? All I know is she’ll never sing like Whitney or Aretha. But then again no one can! | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change Yep, you’re absolutely where I was 25 years ago. I’ve only stopped swapping gear because of retirement, and having to be more frugal with my spending habits. At least I’m honest. | |
| How does a preamp die from sitting unused for a few months? C’mon guys, it’s an Inspire preamp built by Dennis Had, in his retirement. I’ve owned 2 and still use one. If it ever failed to power up I’d do the simple thing; Box it up and ship it back to Dennis for inspection and or repair. Dennis, could perh... | |
| Records and CDs Someone listens to new music? Gulp! I’m stuck in the 60’s, 70’s. And for jazz the 50’s was a hot time with everlasting hits. In fact the biggest selling jazz album of all time is from 1958. So it’s records always for me! | |
| 20 Years? @lou_setriodes you know what, I’m retired, and been around this place too long, but I rejoice in the fact that I grew up in a time when music was music. We had it all! Peace | |
| 20 Years? I’ve been here since the beginning in 1997. Many of us were recruited from Usenet and Rec.audio. And if you remember those you’re old too! | |
| Value of a preamp? Invaluable? | |
| Your Not-So-Obvious Best Fidelity LPs @paulietunes , I’m happy that you’re experiencing some wonderful albums, and each are very different singers. And it’s a pity that Eva Cassidy didn’t get the notoriety in life as she has after passing. She’s one of the most original and gifted mus... | |
| Mid-Fi, Hi-Fi or.....? So, if you’re using 60’s 70’s gear, you absolutely must have a Turntable! | |
| A Few Nice Words For Upscale Audio That’s a feel good story with a happy ending! Good luck with the preamp and hope it meets your expectations. Thx for sharing! | |
| Selling here on Audiogon Many here weren’t around to experience AG in its heyday. This place used to be the hottest place on the net when the net had barely developed. I received an email from an individual who had been monitoring members of Usenet and rec.audio forums wh... | |
| Your Not-So-Obvious Best Fidelity LPs @mckinneymike to be honest there are so many soul hits between 1963 and 1979. Between Motown, Stax, and Philadelphia International Music, for those of us who grew up during this period our musical experience was unequivocal. And to top it off we h... | |
| Your Not-So-Obvious Best Fidelity LPs @paulietunes , Congratulations Paulie! If you dig soul check out anything from the Philadelphia International Records catalog released from 1971-1977. The owners of the company, Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, were actually superb songwriters and prod... |
