| "Kisses on the Bottom" by Paul McCartney Well, my point was hardly to indict him for not being trendy, or for getting racy with a 100-year-old lyric. In fact, I find this "very Paul-like" indeed - taking precious and cheesy to new levels that border on the surreal.I think it's a fair bet... | |
| Need efficient floor-stander for 2a3 Bradluke - I don't own the Lores, but I convinced a friend of mine to buy a pair, and I hear them pretty regularly at his place. I have heard his Leben 300x amp driving both his speakers and my Tonians, so I think I have a pretty decent sense of t... | |
| Warm Rich Lush Speakers...Recommendations? Harbeth SHL5, Spendor 9s, Vandersteen 5As, Devore Orangutans, or best of all, used Tannoy Prestige series.That said, if you're going to shell out $4k to $8k for speakers, I hope you'll be upgrading what you have upstream, in particular that DAC an... | |
| Mac Mini Power Supply Paul - to be clear - "Mintzar" is, in fact, the proprietor of Core Audio Technology. Check out his website and contact him, and thank me later... | |
| value question If the buyer called within the next 10 minutes, I'd sell it for only $19.99. | |
| Need efficient floor-stander for 2a3 Charles1dad - you could certainly say the Tonians are more susceptible to sounding brighter, possibly leaner, but what you're feeding them with makes all the difference. True - it's more difficult to get away with feeding garbage to the Tonians. A... | |
| Need efficient floor-stander for 2a3 Tonian TL-D1s have great synergy with 2A3 amps and are excellent for the genres of music you've listed. IMO, they beat the pants off Tektons, which themselves are very good. | |
| Am I going to regret the Gallo 3.1s? Tekton Lore an excellent alternative - efficient, and capable of being driven by some very inexpensive, low-powered, beautiful-sounding amps. | |

| Am I going to regret the Gallo 3.1s? There's no doubt your room is too small. The 3.1s have 10-inch side-firing woofers that really need some space away from the side walls that your room simply will not be able to provide. If you had a way to control the bass it might be different. ... | |
| Brad Mehldau Truly one of the most astonishing musicians of this generation. I like his Radiohead covers... | |
| NY Technician to replace capacitors If you get Ben Jacoby to return an email or a phone call, let me know. I was unsuccessful after quite a number of attempts at one point last year. | |
| Muddy Waters Folk Singer I got the crappy no-frills Rebook CD version for something like $4.62 on Amazon, and it sounds INCREDIBLE. Would be hard to imagine it getting much better, and I'm curious whether others have compared this version to the pricier MoFi CD versions, ... | |
| ImportCDs I've probably bought at least 50 CDs from them over the past several years and have never had a problem - consistently the fastest shipping of any Amazon third-party vendor I've used. Sorry to hear other folks have had problems. | |
| An interesting Digital vs. Analog experience Alex - not to derail the thread, but have you compared the 20-bit "Waltz for Debby" to the "Complete Village Vanguard 1961" set? Would be very interested to hear your thoughts. |
