It Was Twenty Years Ago Today! One of the reasons I started this thread was because I am incredibly jealous of some of the concert that some people have attended. But then again, someone had to have seen The Police at CBGBs. I admire the efforts some have made to remember the... | |
Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse Are you being honest in the title of this thread? Don't let the nattering nabobs of negativism deter you. Btw, I drove18 hours to get my Spendor 9/1s. A similar vintage loudspeaker. | |
The end of physical media is neigh Part of the reason I haven't added music streaming is the result of my experience with movie streaming. No matter how many subscriptions you have you'll never have access to everything you want. And that's assuming you're willing to take the tim... | |
Chet Baker vs. Miles Davis Preference is personal and there is no right or wrong, only well formed and informed. That said consider how jazz would have evolved if either musician hadn't existed. Also consider the family tree of musicians that each produced. Miles Davis c... | |
Shrink Totem 1's? skolbrother #1, I nominate you into the AHOF (Audiogon Hall Of Fame). This is truly an original post. If you can, please provide before/after pictures. And I would suggest not drinking too much before starting. | |
System assessment... Nobody on the board can tell you how your system sounds in your room and if it works for you. All the suggestion to change components may or may not accomplish what you are looking for, which to be honest, is somewhat vague. Why do you want to s... | |

Listeners can a make a big deal about those differences, but they are still subtle. Good sound doesn't have to be very expensive. Great sound is a differen... | |
another one passes. Pete Sinfield died. He was a founding member of King Crimson and was responsible for their lyrics and album artwork. He later went on to write hits for Leo Sayer, Cher and Celine Dion. He also produced the first Roxy Music album. | |
Great musicians who should have been famous except.... The "Hot For Teacher" intro has some controversy surrounding it. It's AVH on electronic drums and possibly the exhaust sound of one of EVH's Italian sports car at the very beginning. The drum part is lifted/inspired by a piece by Billy Cobham. ... | |
Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? A good friend of mine knew I was into audio and he asked my about his system. He was using Bose 301 loudspeakers and I told him he could do better. Now he loves music as much as I do and he's also a good guitar player. In his opinion the Bose l... | |
Who knew? @daveyf My turntable, an Allen Perkins designed Immedia, using high mass. It's around 50-60 pounds and I do use isolation pads and a thick carbon fiber shelf beneath it. Alternatively, Rega goes in a different direction believing light weight, ... | |
Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? If you are a guest in someone's house you should act like one. Be polite! Show some emotional intelligence. | |
Who knew? Glad to hear it turned out beyond your expectations. What did you do to transport the LP12 back and forth? My turntable path started with a SOTA Sapphire. At the time more than one dealer recommended the Linn, but I choose the SOTA because it w... | |
Wilson Alexia 2 lacking some bass The minor lack of low end response? Compared to what? Using a test frequency track can help pinpoint the exact frequencies involved. That should be determined before any solution can be attempted. | |
Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing? "Knockin’ Lost John" -- The Band "(Last Night) The Bottle Let Me Down" -- Merle Haggard "John Barleycorn Must Die" -- Traffic |
