| Integrated Amps vs. Separates. Has anyone out there heard the Bel Canto or Legend "Starlet" integrateds? | |
| Best Another vote for Vandersteen 2 series. Like you Craig the 2C was my first "Hi-End" love affair that I owned for 10 years and was chosen OVER Magnepan 2.6 speakers. It was a tough choice but the Vandy's won out, it was that natural bass that the Ma... | |
| Best Electrostatic loudspeaker? GerryLee I wish I could agree with you because price wise they are a fair value but my experience in listening to these speakers from the 1st time in 1986 to the present is always the same and I think the first poster Bdebonis stated it best conce... | |
| Best MFSL pressing Disregard my last post, I read PRESSING now! | |
| All-time best recordings for romance Whatjd With reference to Sarah Vaughn I really like her album "Coloring Book" on Mercury which brings back great romantic memories at a later time than the release for me. Unfortunately the recording is so poor but Ms Vaughn was at the height of h... | |
| All-time best recordings for romance How about "Montovanti plays Lover's Favorites", or maybe a little "Prado Prado's Lover's Moonlight". Some might like things a little thrashier (not trashier) like say Pantera or Danzig. The question has so many answers for so many people. If durin... | |
| Best MFSL pressing Mark2954 If you think that Ry Cooder's Jazz is good on MoFi you would really love it on vinyl. Of all the MoFi CD's I own and have heard I also think that the Muddy Water's Folk Singer is the best. It puts you right there. All the nuance of his vo... | |
| Worst Audio Injury !! The most memorable injury to me was mental (guilt) and real to "Joey" our pet cocketiel. During the winter months the birds stay in the house at night and often I will keep them in the listening room. Both Joey and Freddie love music, or so it see... | |
| Best Digital Front End Period! Crm-linc Thank you. I have indeed spoken with Steve at length concerning his ARC mods, a nice caring guy. I am considering upgrading my SP-8 in the near future, no reason to get rid of that pre-amp for what it would cost to replace it, but then ag... | |
| The best and worst Audiogon poster's Well Albert you have echoed my sentiments. To be honest I have found so many posts of value to me personally. Sometimes more from individuals that have differing views than my own. I have even LOL at some of the flamers and really don't take them ... | |
| What CD has the best production/sound? The JVC XRCDs remasters are excellent including Count Basie, Sarah Vaughn, Bill Evans, Miles Davis, Art Tatum, Coltrane and others. If into jazz GET THESE! Also a good direct to disc on 1 gold cd is "For Duke"/"Fatha" on MK Realtime direct from Mi... | |
| Best speakers for 2500....thump included Brianmgrarcom The Spendor 1/2 won't get down to 30 hz but I doubt it you'll care if you like the British sound. An excellent performer in this price range with a superb midrange but no thump. Shabbadoo my vote full range is the Vandersteen 3A Sig.... | |
| Talon Loudspeakers Hey Phill you have made yourself perfectly clear so quit flogging a dead horse and move on. | |
| Talon Loudspeakers Acuujim Your description seems to be the concensus from those that HAVE actually heard the speaker that I have personally spoken to. I am much interested in hearing these speakers especially their bass performance. I would also be interested in he... | |
| Turntables: $10 - 12K -Suggestions Marlec and Khrys I am also in the market to upgrade my current SOTA Sapphire turntable. Haven't yet decided if I am going with a better table, maybe the Cosmos or Millenium, or just overhauling mine in the interim until I can listen first hand to ... |
