| Whats on your turntable tonight? 80s boston bands this weekend: the neats--crash ant crush--pounding sorta-folkrock with a great deep-voiced lead singer the neighborhoods--the high hard one--replacements-like, but tight, with concise hooky songs robin lane & the chartbuste... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? i never warmed up to wussy, but electric rock music might be the great lost album of the 90s--it's brilliant. | |
| Help selecting Pioneer Elite used receiver fwiw i've used the 80txv in my bedroom for over 12 years--it still works flawlessly and sounds surprisingly good, with more power than you'd expect. $250 does seem pricey for it but it's a good piece. of the others, i think the 94txh was their tot... | |
| which is a better speaker mike--i empathize with your frustration--the above responses are singularly unhelpful. i've owned both the hpm 100 and the original jbl l100 (i assume the 120ti is a late 80s update of the l100) and i liked the hpm better--bassier, louder and bigg... | |
| Use or sell/replace Oppo UDP-203? personally, if the oppo is new-in-box i'd sell it (you can get north of two grand for it) and replace it with an inexpensive cd transport and a streaming dac (something like the bluesound node or yamaha musiccast would be around $500, though you c... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? i love that bram tchiakovsky record--it has that inimitable quality of sounding like it was written and recorded in about 30 minutes. his third record."funland" is also really underrated. more picks: elliott easton, "change no change pezband, "... | |
| Vintage Integrated Amplifiers With Great Sound among those i've owned the hk pm665 and kenwood ka7100 sound vg. likewise the 80s kyocera receivers (861, 661) are great and hugely undervalued. | |
| headphone DAC/amp just tested the smsl su6/sh6 ($300) and liked it quite a bit | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? bslon, reubent et. al.--really great obscure picks (hitmen. wire train)--nice to meet some fellow travelers. in the same vein: the johnsons--break tomorrows day the neats--blues end blue crippled pilgrims--under water | |
| Songs that sound like Dylan the stones' "jigsaw puzzle" is so overtly dylanesque as to veer close to parody. always like it, tho. | |
| Songs that sound like Dylan stuck in the middle with you | |
| Need help finding speaker connector for B&O BeoVox M70 look on ebay for 2 pin din speaker cable for b&o--should be easy to find | |
| Your experience/thoughts on Meadowlark speakers, esp., Kestrel, 2, hot rod. etc i owned the kestrel hotrods and i'm sorry i sold them--very "musical," with seamless driver coherence and none of the exaggerated frequencies that other manufacturers use to create the illusion of more detail. they also imaged well, with lots of ... | |
| Any Improvement Possible for B&O-Hsu-Paradigm-Apple System? if you're committed to your speakers, a dac would be a logical upgrade--in your range i'd look at chord or smsl, though there's many others. room treatments are always a good idea as well. | |
| NAD THX 2400 Amp real world price for your amp is $200-250. you should have no problem selling it in that range. |
