| Your favorite obscure song Meadow - Liam Gallagher If you live je George Harrison’s slide, you’ll love this. | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Prince. "Kiss" grates on my last nerve. I don't know how anyone can stand to listen to it. | |
| Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist Taylor Rae - Mad Twenties Katie Pruitt - Expectations Kathleen Edwards - entire catalog | |
| Stereo mode in phone stage going out Thanks for all the suggestions. Over the past week, when playing vinyl, usually about the 4th/5th song is when the (always) right channel goes about 98% out in stereo mode. Flipping it to Mono restores the sound in both channels. All other prog... | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? This is certainly a yesteryear thread and rightfully so, but since i cannot remember the opening acts to all the great shows i saw in the 70's/80's, I'll offer a recent great opening act. Katie Pruitt opening for My Morning Jacket at Beech Mounta... | |
| Does anyone listen to the radio anymore? I only listen to the radio in the car, and I only listen to two NPR stations, WNCW and WSGE (both located in small NC towns). Most of the vinyl I buy is from hearing obscure artists on these stations, so radio still serves an effective need for m... | |
| Downsizing from tower to bookshelf Anyone that states what you have (floorstanding to bookshelf), I always recommend a look at the Van L Speakerworks Quartet: (https://www.stereotimes.com/post/van-l-speakerworks-quartet-loudspeakers/) Admittedly, I have not heard them, nor do I kn... | |
| MC cartridge for Clearaudio Concept 1600$ Of all the adjustments/changes/enhancements I’ve done to my system in the past 5 years, putting a Hana cart on my VPI Traveler BY FAR made the biggest difference. I’m always prepared to be disappointed when trying something new in audio, but the H... | |
| Pairing Bookshelf Speakers to my Yamaha A-S801 It could be a longshot getting a pair in the $2K range, but you should definitely check out Van L Speakerworks Quartet speaker: (http://www.vanlspeakerworks.com/) The owner's name is John Van Leishout and his shop is in a Chicago suburb. There... | |
| Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To I had always seen “Shoot Out The Lights” on many greatest albums lists. Got it a couple of years ago at Goodwill for a buck, but I don’t think I’ve given it a proper listen. I’ll do that very soon. | |
| Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To I remember being 15 and buying Elvis Costello's "Get Happy". Played the first song, took it off in disgust, and left it un-played for literally 30+ years. Threw it on one night (after getting into his vast catalog) and was blown away by it. 20 t... | |
| Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To I was the same way with The Band. I took a class in college called Introduction To Film. Basically learning to be a film critic. Well, one of the required viewings (in a theatre, big screen) was “The Last Waltz”. This was the mid-80s and I knew no... | |
| Starting Over and I need your help +1 on Audio Advice in Raleigh (they're in Charlotte too). Good people to deal with and a wide range of brands to choose from. They have specials and open box deals regularly on their website. They can put something great together for you with your... | |
| Subwoofer Suggestions Would the B&W 608 be a good option? Fits in my price range. It’s a powered sub…don’t know if that causes any compatibility issues with a vintage receiver. I’m way out in left field with this particular thing. | |
| Tracks that bring out the best of YOUR digital system The Cranberries - Animal Instinct Bruce Cockburn - No Footprints New Order - Let's Go (Nothing For Me) Jellyfish - Russian Hill Emerson, Lake, and Palmer - From The Beginning Alan Parsons Project - Mammagamma |
