| Pioneer Elite vsx-14 enough for hdi-3800? Alternatives? fwiw, for my bedroom system i recently replaced my 20-year old pioneer elite vsx80 with an anthem 740. the anthem is serviceable, and has the modern features like room correction, arc, etc., but to my ears doesn't sound as good--flatter and less m... | |
| Integrated Suggestions for a Garage System The wiim amp is a vg option | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bslon, for me the doors' recorded output followed an unusual bell curve, which is to say that their debut was epochal, the next two marked a decline, the fourth, "soft parade" was the truly terrible nadir, then the last two were a big upturn, wi... | |
| 1 song you never get sick of? Excellent picks @roxy54 to which I would add expecting to fly by buffalo Springfield and calling over time by Edith frost | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bslon I'm with you on all except for strange days, which marked a notable decline from the flawed genius that came befre. Quicksilver otoh is a candidate for the goat. | |
| Solo streamer @rvpiano why are you a former musician... Seems to me you'd be one for all eternity | |
| Tune of the Day @bdp24, long history of terrible/drug-addled onstage behavior + really pervy behavior with young women. not good, though undeniably a brilliant singer and songwriter. | |

| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC @cleeds, thanks for mentioning blue jean's epic takedown of monster cable--it was the classic example of how these feuds should be handled. that said, i can't help but be sympathetic to the (non-bully) businesses being victimized by ill-informed a... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw...interesting quirky listening. I just cued up your picks. | |
| Looking for a component for ripping and playing CD's. +1 @panzrwagn-- the os on the bluesound vault is very user-friendly. | |
| Elvis Costello's favorite album of his own. @bdp24, i gotta (mostly) disagree with you about the attractions. i think bruce and pete thomas are great at what they do--sure, they push the beat, but so does terry williams of rockpile; it's what makes them rock. as for their sound, i agree ste... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bslon et. al.: i mostly agree with the greatness of bare trees and future games (as well as ms. mcvie), though "sentimental lady" gargles my nads. as for the p. green era, i'd give "then play on" another chance--it has "o well" + "closing my eye... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/2705208 @bslon, would you agree that kiln house is the best FM record and that danny kirwan its best singer/songwriter? |
