| Starting from scratch in a large room @deertrail7 When you come to these forums and ask posters what to do, you are going to get all the biases of each poster. I would suggest doing research including, as a poster above suggested, googling good speakers against the wall. Then I w... | |
| Most underrated female recording artists.. @jeffrey75 There are many more.including the ones you mentioned. I could add Beth Ditto, Dominique Durand (Ivy), Jenny Lewis, Snail Mail, Soccer Mommy, Bat for Lashes, Ani Defranco, Debbie Harry, Ari Up (Slits), Grace Jones, Kim Gordon (Sonic Yo... | |
| Most underrated female recording artists.. I'll venture here. My take on female vocalists is a bit different because it is about the music they write and sing and not necessarily if they are considered great vocal talents. Molly Rankin (Alvvays) The Raincoats Deborah Iyall (Romeo Void) ... | |
| Sad songs- We love them- We need them The one that gets me is Sufjan Stevens "Casimir Pulaski Day" In the morning when you finally go And the nurse runs in with her head hung low And the cardinal hits the window In the morning in the winter shade On the first of March, on the holida... | |
| Magnepan .7 Alternatives I have always liked the planar or ribbon sound. I hadn't tried the Magnepans so a few years ago, I found someone selling the LRS speakers nearby and went for a listen and really liked them. I loved them but also felt a loss in the bass and dynamic... | |
| New Spatial Audio M4 Ultra @dbt Thanks for the info. Steve Guttenberg had a little summary on speakers at the NYC Audio Show and he mentioned a bunch of the open baffle speakers including the Spatial Audio Labs which were part of a presentation by LTA. Guttenberg di... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Oh boy. First, a few recommendations already made that I would second: The Go-Betweens "16 Lovers Lane" although I'm not sure how obscure that is. Japan: Tin Drum The Residents: Commercial Album Pere Ubu: The Modern Dance Since I tend to more ... | |
| Where did you buy your first audio gear? When I was in law school, living in a cheap apartment in the early 1980s, there was an electronics store that sold used stuff. I bought an Aiwa tape deck and a cheap reel to reel. I was an aspiring musician playing in a band and writing music. I u... | |
| New Spatial Audio M4 Ultra Discussions about this on Audio Circle. It looks like the tweeter for the M3 is no longer available to the M4 Ultra has a different tweeter and is a smaller speaker in stature (about 1/2 foot). The X series (I also have the X5s) are still availabl... | |
| Disservice: XLR interconnects @rman9, I kid you not. It's actually almost disappointing because it means you have to consider paying a premium for every cable and interconnect. I bought a Hapa Aero USB Cable from a trusted poster over at Audio Circle. I got him down a bit beca... | |
| WILL IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE? I don't have a lot of experience with tube amps but I have switched from SS to Tubes and don't intend to go back. I have a Rogers High Fidelity 65V2 and I thought it sounded great. I saw an end game amp on a used site and waited till it dropped in... | |
| Disservice: XLR interconnects I was also a cable doubter but tried some used Silversmith Fidelium and heard a significant difference. Then I tried an expensive usb cable for crying out loud and that made a difference. This is some crazy business. I didn't think a cable that ca... | |
| Hegel owners - what speakers are you using @jeffseight I went to that show. I thought the KEF R3 was the best speaker I heard and I also liked the Buchardts. It was a bit hard to tell because they played some wildly different stuff for each speaker even within the same genres. I was also ... | |
| Anyone own Linear Tube Audio Amps? Quick update, I added Psvane EL34s to the mix and I'm really loving it. Hearing things I didn't know were there in the music. | |
| What are your top three live concerts of all time? Romeo Void at the University of Arizona Student Ballroom. The guitar, bass, drums and sax of this band were really locked in and was mesmerizing. I also saw the Talking Heads and Ramones at the same location but Romeo Void was best. Jonathan Rich... |
