| Headphone amps @oddiofyl +1 I have both the Quicksilver headphone and integrated amps - both of which delivery excellent sonics at a very competitive price point. As stated, build quality is also top notch. My end game headphone amp may be the Pass Labs HPA-1... | |
| Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice? I love Lucinda Williams and Ricki Lee Jones - though I've been told their voices, like Scotch whiskey, are an acquired taste. | |
| What are your top 3 favorite female singers? Lots of great names provided - I would add Karen Matheson (Capercaillie) to the list. Captivating voice in both English and Gaelic. | |
| Songs of debauchery and excess Eagles - Life in the Fast Lane | |
| Nik Turner - Rest In Peace Gone to the great orgone accumulator in the sky. R.I.P., mate. | |
| XLR to RCA plugs or cable @vthokie83 + 1 I would add Audio Envy to this list. I had a 1M pair of O'Nestian interconnects made with XLR on the source end and RCA on the destination to run from my DAC to my headphone amp. Price was < $200, if memory serves. Very solid... | |
| Sad songs- We love them- We need them "Our Town" - Iris DeMent. | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding @bancsee Not that I understand the deeper meanings of the songs on "Graceland," are you sure you don't mean Paul Simon's "The Rhythm of the Saints"? | |
| most beautiful (looking) speakers Best looking, most aesthetically pleasing speaker ever made? Gotta be the early generation Klipsch La Scalas in the raw birch plywood. (Sorry - I had to do it. No flaming, please - I'm actually a Klipsch owner!) 😁 Thanks to previous posters fo... | |
| Headphones Newbie; Senheisser HD 800s or Focal MG Clear @goofyfoot I'm talking looks alone. You mentioned "really liking the looks of the Focals and leaning in that direction." I agree: Focal cans are stylishly designed and aesthetically pleasing. IMHO, the jury appears to be split on the looks of ... | |
| Headphones Newbie; Senheisser HD 800s or Focal MG Clear While I would agree the Sennheiser HD800s are, aesthetically speaking, a somewhat acquired taste, I find the sound to be superlative in my tube system. However, I actually find them slightly LESS comfortable than the HD6xx line (for example), but... | |
| Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound For a few hundred dollars less than the Puritan PSM156 is the PSM136 - which also works wonderfully. I doubt you'll go wrong with either model. | |
| Looking for Blues with High Fidelity I find Buddy Guy and Junior Wells' "Alone and Acoustic" to have pretty good sonics. My version of this CD is on the Alligator label. | |
| Tweak or Replace? The Costs and Benefits of DIY Speaker Mods I appreciate all the feedback: @erik_squires - Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely check them out. As it stands, my listening environment is completely sans treatment. @russ69 - The Belles do seem to be among the least common of the v... | |
| Tweak or Replace? The Costs and Benefits of DIY Speaker Mods @sns - Greg (Roberts) at Volti just came out with the new Tractrix V-TracII mid horns, but at $1500 a pair - plus the cost of the drivers (either $535 for the Crites A-55G/2 or $1300 for Volti's BMS 4592ND) - I'd be getting precariously close to t... |
