| Vienna Acoustics vs Revel Studios? Waltersalas, are you any relation to Walter Salas-Humara, a fantastic singer-songwriter involved with the Silos and the Setters? If so, I worship you. In any event, about your EMC-1 idea, I own the EMC-1, without the upgrade, and think it sounds a... | |
| How to pick your first SET tube amp? Hi, just following up on what I decided to try after studying all your posts. I am auditioning the Terra Star, a small, relatively inexpensive (around $900) EL-34 based 12-watt SET integrated. I investigated the Decware Zens as well, but was infor... | |
| Vienna Acoustics vs Revel Studios? Hello, chiming in again, I listened to the Mahlers extensively when deciding whether to purchase them or the Beethovens, and the Mahlers were placed on the long side of an average sized rectangle-shaped room, room no bigger than the average living... | |
| Mark Levinson's Guide to Better Sex There is an article in the Sunday Styles section of the NY Times on Mark and Kim's book. They met for lunch w/the writer and were photographed nuzzling. Mark was described as "broad shouldered and ruggedly handsome." The article was kind of embarr... | |
| Greatest Songwriter of all time Best songwriter EVER of all time, words and music: DylanSecond best: Townes Van ZandtThird best: Guy ClarkThere is a long drop between these fellas and number 4. | |
| I called Richard Vandersteen Clueless, you kill me! You are truly a funny person and I laugh out loud at a lot of what you post!! (Sorry if you meant it all to be serious!) I especially agree with someone else here who said he laughs aloud whenever he reads your closing, "Sin... | |
| Searching Prior Threads...Worth Your Time... I know what you mean about the small speakers threads. There have been at least 9 in the last 2 months, I know because I started one about 2 months ago, then read all the others that came along too. I got tons of great ideas, not all the suggestio... | |
| mark levinson 23.5 or Ayre V5? That's the problem I owned Ayre (V3) and Vienna (Beethovens) for about a year of great listening. I know these aren't the models you're asking about, but the newer Ayre is even better than the classic model, and the Mahlers like good solid power just like the Beetho... | |
| Best tiny speakers up to 1000 ? Check out the Acoustic Energy sub/sat system for $399, very small but very big, clear sound. Michael Fremer reviewed them in the March 2001 issue of Stereophile. Jeff at Value Audio (www.value-audio.com) sells them and gives a good rundown of thei... | |
| Anyone else heard "The Houston Kid?" Glen, at Borders Rodney is classified in the Country section. I'd look there for his albums. Now that there's "alt.country," I would place him there, at least for this album, but the record stores (the bricks and mortar ones, anyway) don't have a ... | |
| Sonic Frontiers is bankrupt? The news just means that Sonic Frontiers gear will be worth a premium for the time being. Those who own it just had value added, in my opinion. That gear will always be classic. It's nice to be able to take a breather from the constant need to upg... | |
| Sistrum Platforms Hi, I have a 5-shelf Sistrum rack, and the smaller platform stands under each of my Genesis 500 speakers. I noticed an improvement in clarity and detail in my system immediately, plus in my opinion the rack is absolutely beautiful, very minimalist... | |
| Anyone else heard "The Houston Kid?" Yes, Rodney and Roseanne used to be married. | |
| Anyone else heard "The Houston Kid?" This has been an absolute favorite of mine for almost a year. I played it to death, memorized all the lyrics, and used it exclusively to choose a new preamp and various cables last winter. I could hear all the differences in components I wanted wi... | |
