| Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s Ghost, are u not a fan of Derek and the Dominos? | |
| Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s bd, not that anything i say merits close attention, but i didn't accuse cream of being prog-y--i was referring to procol harum. in any event, while i never liked the mc5 (who were much more countercultural icons than worthwhile music makers), i do... | |
| Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s slightly off topic, but i though i'd weigh in on bd's and ghost's missives. procol harum had certain prog-y elements (technical virtuosity, obscure lyrics, ambitious song structures), but at core were a pop band--their best stuff was very accessib... | |
| Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s ghost: yes was uncool because of (a) sci-fi lyrics and incomprehensible dungeons 'n dragons imagery (b)bloated, purposely difficult "compositions" with long drum solos, (c) technical proficiency as opposed to punky attitude, and (d)no one i know a... | |
| Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s andy fraser on free's "fire and water" lp was a bass player's wet dream--he played more lead than anything else. the songs were great, too.a guiltier pleasure was chris squire on yes's "fragile;" yes was very uncool but i still listened to this re... | |
| Best Option In A Silver CD/SACD Player $1k Or Less you can find marantz sa, denon 5910, sony scd and integra rdv in silver for less than a grand, though i'd prbably go with the oppo myself | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4 zoon, enjoy the vs--i recall them having quite a low end wallop. i believe they're very placement-sensitive, and you'll likely get enhanced bass performance by re-positioning/moving towards wall, etc. | |
| Need Help buying headphones and head amps in chicago/evanston/hinsdale audio consultants would be a good place to audition heapdphones and amps--they have alot of grado and sennheiser at different price ranges | |
| Classic Rock Quiz 13 for me. tuff quiz. | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4 zoon, you're answering your own question--if your room needs treatment i'd start there (though i certainly understand the upgrade bug). you might like the vs more than your psbs, which are perfectly good speakers, but i suspect you'd get a more si... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4 you'll want to check blue book, but i see 'em going for $900-1000. | |
| How old are your speakers my 80s polk model 10 ($100 on craigslist) are one of the very few pieces i'd be unlikely to part with. likewise my ads 810s. | |
| Songs that Inspire or Move you twas as beautiful day in the neighborhood so i went out for a run. cued up meat puppets ii. heard "lost" and started bawling like a little girl. "i've got a wound i swear will never mend". waaaaa | |
| AV Receiver recommends the power ratings on most mass market avrs are notoriously overstated, often deceptively so--an avr touted at 100w/ch may actually achieve that with only two channels running and/or with very high distortion. e.g. i had a yamaha 5.1 avr which clai... | |
| Review: The Denon DVD-2930ci helluva review. i've cycled through several denon 2800 (magnificent audio/video, but incredibly unreliable), 2910 (not as good as the 2800, though just as unreliable), 5910 (outstanding audio) and like you, the 2930 (sounds/looks great when it wor... |
