| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Rebbe,Tube amplification for the Arros was definitely a good move.Audioquest is a safe bet for ICs and cables.Here's another option on Ebay if needed. http://stores.ebay.com/essentialhifitweak_W0QQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247I use DNM Reson and Ha... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Sure thing. After all we went through (mostly you), we got to get those babies "tuned in".Keep fine tuning the placement until they sound just right at your prime listening position with big sound stage, accurate imaging, and tight clean bass.My D... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Rebbe,Coincidentally, I heard a pair of Arros recently at a dealer. Had my reference CDs with me that enabled me to judge what I heard versus other systems I've heard recently. Sound was similar to what you describe, the signature transparency and... | |
| Musical Fidelity A5 CD player - long Lightminer, good point! | |
| Those simpler times..... Once in college I provided the music for an outdoor Halloween party out in the boonies on a farm in Western Kentucky. I set my system (cassette tapes and vinyl only in those days) up on the front porch of the farmhouse facing the main activities o... | |
| The Moody Blues - "Seventh Sojourn" I've seen the Moodys live 5 different times (1st was the Octave show) and most recently the tour from a couple of years back captured on the recent release video "Lovely To See You". Check the online reviews of that performance. Many consider it t... | |

| Those simpler times..... Dan_Ed said:"I am constantly re-discovering LPs I've known for years. Most sound even better now than I remember at that is due to the quality of my system components."Agree! | |
| Those simpler times..... "As phenomenal as all our gear sounds now, let's not forget "those simpler times," when only the music mattered. Let's all remember why we enjoy our hobby as much as we do.............it's the music !!!"Amen. | |
| Those simpler times..... "As Lindisfarne said, he got more pleasure out of his high school system than any since, but I'll bet if he had that same system now he wouldn't be so pleased."We are over 40, our ears and hearing have undoubtedly changed as well plus we are more ... | |
| What speakers? I replaced a pair of larger Maggies with Ohms for similar reasons. If you like full scale classical or other large scale recordings with realistic dynamic range, low end extension, and impact, along with the imaging, detail, and sound stage, monit... | |
| Those simpler times..... I would move to a log cabin in the mountains and live with no luxuries or modern conveniences...except my system and music has to come with me. And I'm not willing to downgrade either..... | |
| Question Of Balance - The Moody Blues I've always found the mellotron to be a fascinating instrument. There is a lot of good information available on it on the net for anybody interested. Not too many around anymore as I understand it and they are seldom ever seen in live performances... | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? Thanks Pauly. They sound fabulous.. Enjoy! | |
| Question Of Balance - The Moody Blues Timrhu,Thanks for the kind words. I'll see what I can do. This is fun!I have a couple of reviews of Moody albums and a few other progressive rock titles that focus more on the art than the sound already on progarchives.com if anyone is interested.... |
