| Judy Collins I have seen her multiple times recently including in the front row at this wonderful new venue this Fall.Shalin LiuShe sang Farewell to Tarwathie complete with the whale songs with that background looking much like the picture. The person who reco... | |
| B&K Web Pages taken down 12/12 You might try Eastern Elite Audio Video in Buffalo. They have former B&K people and have been supporting the products.Or Ralph Potts the guy you does BluRay reviews on AVSforum. He used to moderate forums on B&K and wrote about them a lot. | |
| Downgrading Not sure you are going to find an integrated with good sound. Nakamichi used to make systems like that, but they are pretty much gone.How about a PC or Mac, optinally a Dragonfly usb DAC and Audioengine powered speakers? You can even drive the spe... | |
| Recommendations for upgrade from 5.1 to 7.1 Vicdamone - the OP's room is 9 x 12 x 7. How do you put back speakers behind the couch in that size room? That extra 4' and 7' you have make a big difference. You square footage is 2.4 times that of the OP. You can certainly make 16 x 16 work. I a... | |
| Opposite of Thiel Any of the original Sonus Faber line. In that range, the original Cremona are the sweet spot. The newer Cremona M are not as "musical" as the old Cremona. People say the original Cremona are colored in the mid-range, but that is what makes them "m... | |
| Recommendations for upgrade from 5.1 to 7.1 Do you really have room for speakers behind you? If you think of a theater, the speakers are meant to be well behind you and provide that perspective. If they are right behind your chairs, then they will be too directional. I have back speakers in... | |
| Does anyone still miss the old Audiogon format? I know I am in the minority, but I am OK with the new site. I like the new capabilities that have been added, like being able to sort the results of a search and being able to search by distance from my zip code. I also like having the seller's lo... | |
| HDtracks American Beauty I use a little free program to look at the frequencies in high rez files. It is a quick way to look at how much content there really is above 20 KHz. It says nothing about how it will sound, but it interesting to look at the data.Spek Frequency An... | |
| Does you wife touch your system? Of course. She uses both the turntable and PC music server all the time, including both the main system and the whole house system. She is also instrumental in selecting new equipment. Without her involvement I could not justify spending as much a... | |
| Why do audiophiles shun feedback in amplifiers? As an aside, many years ago I had LWE speakers, which provided negative feedback from the speakers back to the amp. The idea was to monitor the speakers response to the input signal and correct the differences by providing feedback to the amp. So,... | |
| 10 Box Set of Beethoven - DG/Poyldor - 1972 Thanks Frogman. That is pretty consistent with things I have read from others. Prior to this boxed set, the only Karajan/Beethoven I have had has been on CD and I think the transfers were not very good. So I have kept with the Szell. Everyone seem... | |
| 10 Box Set of Beethoven - DG/Poyldor - 1972 Frogman - I have always liked the Szell recordings. I am just working through the Karajan ones, although in the past they have not been my favorites, but now that I have them all, I need to do some listening.HDtracks has the nine symphonies in 24/... | |
| Fidelizer Don't get me wrong. I do not think Fidelizer is any threat to my system. But, to me, since it does not register itself so it can be deleted and because it does not have a startup option or a shutdown option, it appears more like a virus/trojan tha... | |
| Fidelizer Phusis - the problem I have with Fidelizer is that it does not act like a good Windows citizen. It does not register itself as a app, so you cannot delete it easily. It also does not provide an easy way to start it up on re-boot. Once runnng, it d... | |
| 10 Box Set of Beethoven - DG/Poyldor - 1972 Elee - you are right, I have the big book, not the cross reference one. Thanks for the clarification. Frogman - since it appears I cannot buy my vacation home on Maui, I will keep the set. I already have some of this music, like the Symphonies by ... |
