| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! @skchun The wife and I are true racing bike fanatics, but when I reached "that age" (+surviving a serious bicycle accident) I went for a soft-riding laid-back angled Bianchi Infinito to last me through my golden years. I think several pro bicycle ... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn Bridge II @dherring -- Mytek won't answer my my emails and I'm not bright enough to figure out any other way to get hold of them. The Brooklyn remains little more than a doorstop. | |
| Has Your Hobby Changed? pooch2 -- Xlnt! And we can call ourselves the ABC, the Audiogon Banjo Cabal... | |
| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! I tend to own sets of speakers for a very long time, and those speakers tend to be small box monitors that are either manufactured in Britain or are influenced by British/BBC tastes. I seldom just go out and replace a pair of speakers. Most of the... | |
| Has Your Hobby Changed? @pooch2 Does the banjo have a resonator or is it open-backed? Your answer is extreeeeemly importnat!!!!đ As for me, it's an open-backed one as, despite the fact I both frail and claw-hammer, resonator banjos just weigh too much and the finger pick... | |
| What's the point of reviewing? @roxy54 The grammatical error is simply a typo. Minor slip ups like these are common and eminently forgivable, especially if you are posting from a handheld device, It doesnât help that, hey, sometimes your eyes just blur... | |
| "Can You Lift Yours?" My Quicksilver Mono Amps never failed to make my feet ache when I was forced to move them from their appointed spots. The Primaluna Integrated that replaced the Quickies isn't exactly svelte, either, but at least there's only one of them. My SOTA ... | |
| Why Donât You Post Your System on Your Profile? coralkong -- thanks for the correction!!! I knew I had the cliche wrong, but when I went into google in an attempt to get the proper wording, I discovered that google ain't the best place to receive grammatical advice. Blame it on Saturday Morning... | |
| Why Donât You Post Your System on Your Profile? To be sure, this chat room is truly wonderful, as it's filled with highly intelligent folks caught up in the madness of wanting to listen to their music with the best possible fidelity. I spend a ridiculous amount of time on it, too. I got to conc... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn Bridge II The wife told me to hold off on the recycling bin. It's your last chance!!!! | |
| Digital music questions If you listen to Classical, you might want to test out another streaming service -- Idagio. They don't provide hi-res, but their CD quality stream often gives Qobuz hi-rez a run for its money. The Idagio honchos possess some fine sets of ears, an... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn Bridge II My Mytek Brooklyn Bridge went dark maybe about seven or eight months ago, just after the warranty expired. It's been orphaned, i.e., nobody I've found wants to fix it. It's evidently a "1" as there is no indication of the model number. Loved it wh... | |
| Tony Bennett passed I actually saw him live in Vegas, once-upon-a-time. With my parents. I kept Mom & Dad's Tony Bennett records and have bought a few of my own, like Tony Bennett's foray into '60's pop -- "Tony Bennett's Something." Yeah, I like Sinatra still mo... | |
| Classical music thread welcoming your suggestions and why... I'm pretty sure I saw Nyiregyhazi in performance during the guy's momentary, end-of-life resurrection of his career. It was in L.A., I can't remember exactly where the concert was (The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion?) but I had a truly excellent seat. ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? I'm just stuck on The Pink Panther. As they sing in one of the cuts -- Meglio sta' serra baby, go go go. Or as we natives say, "Va subito!" |
