| Zik Headphones I know them well... my 14 year old son was obsessed with these headphones for months as they were all over the kind of tech web sites he reads. They look good and have all kinds of cool bluetooth features but when he actually purchased a pair and ... | |
| Name three of yours the most favourite drummers Everyone has listed some great drummers in terms of pure technique and speed, but for drummers who just get in the groove (and stay there) how about the great Al Jackson who played on so much of the Stax material (Otis Redding being my favorite). ... | |
| ConradJohnson: Tubes or S/State for Maggies. I love this forum.... 3 votes for solid state, 3 votes for tubes! Nothing is straightforward in this hobby, that's for sure. I think I am going to get a 2250 or 2500 and see how it sounds, and do a comparison with a pair of Quad II forty monos dri... | |
| How much can low-fi subwoofer bring down a system? I agree more details would be useful, but my guess would be that you would have wonderful clear sound coming from your decent componants and a strange thumping, thudding noise coming from the sub (which may be OK if you use this for just HT). It w... | |
| Favorite Chorals..... Two other requiems, by Verdi and Faure, both great in their own ways, and also 'The Kingdom' by Elgar. All 3 of these are great choral works. | |
| What Instrument do You Play? I have played drums since I was 16, 38 now, so quite a long time. I play with 2 bands (country and blues) but have a corporate day job, so it is just a hobby but very important to me. Seems like most of my hobbies revolve around music.... I want t... | |
| Any photography experts out there? Well thanks to all for all the tips. I will print them out and use them when I next take a picture of equipment. Lets see if my next effort works out better.Thx, Peter | |
| Shipping/packing-what's the standard for pre & CD? My opinion is that for $6k worth of equipment, effective double boxing is a must. The only amp I have ever had damaged was when I tried to ship something in the original (perfect shape) box/packing materials with no outer box. It got beat up by Fe... | |
| What is your listening room like? I like your comments about having to get away from wife to listen to music! i love my wife and children dearly but couldn't handle the compromises that setting up a system in the house demanded. I had a wood working/strorage shed, 18 by 12, that I... | |
| Best Small Sub? Sunfire, Velodyne, Rel, Def Tech Rel all the way... I had the Concertinos and found all but the Rel very difficult to integrate seemlessly. For my money the Rel subs are significantly better, much more musical, than all you mention (I have no experience with the Def Tech you ment... | |
| New Massive Attack LP: 100 th Window I wasn't aware that they had a new LP out, but one piece of music that I always pull out when auditioning new gear is Unfinished Sympathy from their first album. Great stuff. Cant believe it came out in '91. I will look for 100th Window. A piece o... | |
| best amplifier to drive my Quad 988 speakers I am listening as I am writing this to my 988's driven by the Quad II Forty monos and the QC-24 preamp. I cannot imagine the sound could get much better than this from any other combination and you know that Quad designers have already taken the g... | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 10 My room is 11*17 and i listen to mostly small scale classical, acoustic stuff, with some noisier rock/soul/blues stuff thrown in occasionally. I prefer listening at moderate levels. As for speakers, I have a set of Quad 988's but also some Spendor... | |
| 1950-2000: The 10 Greatest Songwriting Teams Audiotomb mentioned Squeeze...Songwriters with Squeeze were Glen Tilbrook and Chris Difford. I think they are a great band, but not sure they belong in the company of some of the others mentioned..... | |
| Here's my room...what are my options? Maybe not a possibility for you, but I have exactly the same size room and it took me a year to figure out the the sound was way better using smallish monitors (Sonus Faber Concerto and Spendor S3/1) on the long wall, firing across the room. You e... |
