A SHOCKING DISCOVERY ABOUT DIGITAL AUDIO
I come here just for nonoise's gifs. šŸ»  
LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus
+1 for AC/DC (Joe Louis Arena, 1988 or '89) +1 for The Who (Pontiac Silverdome, 1980ish). Kiss, Cobo Arena (1977)  
Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning
Actually, the original productionā€™s overall sonic ambience is what drew me to the music in the first place. No issue w/the original recording at all ( Album Of The Year, cā€™mon). Too, much of the "ethereal" sound was instigated by Dylan himself. La... 
Budget amp that will give Magnepan 3.6Rs better depth of soundstage
Iā€™ll toss in another Maggie/B&K EX-442 (Sonata) combination. Maggie model: MMG B&K EX-442 Sonata - dual mono - (1993 w/Toshiba cans), 200/350 wpc 8/4 ohms, 75 amps P-P current (operative measurement, more important than watts) coming out... 
What CDs to buy
+1 for Sting's "Ten Summoner's Tales".Ā  Superbly written, played and recorded. +1 for "Jazz At The Pawnshop".Ā  I've got the 3-CD anniversary edition - marvelous. Most any Steely Dan will sound good.Ā  Always very well-produced music.Ā  I like "Two... 
Favourite Guitarists
As a guitar player for 50 years, my standard for "greatness" is measured by how many other musicians play your stuff. Jeff Beck wins hands down. Nobody tries to emulate his playing. +1 (from another guitar player - of 46 years) I donā€™t think a... 
What now?
Ohm Walsh 1000s are what first came to my mind.Ā Ā   
Magnepan LRS in the house!
This thread got me thinking about an upgrade to the LRS+Ā but Magnepan no longer has a trade-up program for for the MMG.Ā šŸ˜„ However, for anyone wondering about the waiting period for the LRS+, it doesn't sound like anything close to 8 months, at le... 
Magnepan LRS in the house!
Yes, nice jobĀ @rbertalotto.Ā  I am not a metalworker but do enjoy woodworking in my small basement shop.Ā  So, I'm going to use some sturdy oak for my stands.Ā  I don't think the angles in your design will work with wood though.Ā  We'll seeĀ  Try Go... 
What is the forums opinion of SVS subs?
Before you purchase either a Rel or SVS, I would suggest looking at Rythmik.Ā  +1  
Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ
Yet, americans are going about their lives as if nothing is going on, as the media and the politics are not letting them know how desperate things are. What makes you say that?Ā  I talk to my fellow Americans (of all political persuasions) and I... 
Why does rock concert sound suck?
1981, Pontiac Silverdome (with itā€™s giant balloon of a roof). Iggy Pop / Santana / Rolling Stones Santana blew the roof off the place and actually managed to sound good, in that stadium. Iā€™ve seen Santana literally dozens of times since about 19... 
Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life?
Another who fell prey to the Maggies. Not sure, but I donā€™t think Iā€™ve read the name "Ohm Walsh"......šŸ¤”  
Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried...
Cassandra Wilson and Norah Jones, both on Blue Note Records (and in audiophile pressings by Analogue Productions). +1 (I'm partial to NJ's "Come Away With Me" and "The Fall"). +1 for Alison Krauss/US "Live".Ā  Incredible recording and her voice...
