| When to give up CDs and TT? After several moves, during which my records and CD's traveled in boxes, I ended up in a place with a perfect stereo room. I then started sequentially totally redoing my entire system into a nice little Nirvanaland. Then, having to decide what to ... | |
| Lost Last Classix Rock Station @oberoniaomnia There you go. Lots of stuff out there, although, of course, you have to listen to what they give you, which ends up sending me to Discogs late at night! Pretty funny. I lack self control! | |
| Lost Last Classix Rock Station Broadcast is, like it or not, for the here and now. We old guys need to suck it up. I remember hearing Buffalo Springield's "Bluebird" in, maybe 1967, on my VW's 6volt from JC Whiney's AM only radio and going nuts. Then we had the 60-70's realm... | |
| Looking To Upgrade to a new CD Transport @fred60 Solved my problem with my Jay's Audio player. So I'm just gonna ship back the PerfectWave when it comes without opening it (it's a black one) as I don't have enuf SACD's to justify the extra bucks. These things are in short supply, so ... | |
| Looking To Upgrade to a new CD Transport Has anyone an opinion on the PS Audio PerfectWave SACD player? I ordered a factory-certified unit on a whim at a big discount but now am reconsidering before it shows up. | |
| Best concert you've attended Stephen Stills & Manassas, Mississippi River Festival, Edwardsville Illinois 1974. Richard Thompson band, Rockefellers, Houston 1982 | |
| Looking To Upgrade to a new CD Transport Thanks! Sounds like you sent the whole unit back, not the remote (or both?). | |
| Looking To Upgrade to a new CD Transport I've had the Jays Audio CDT2 MK3 for a year and a half. It sounds great, i2s into a Denefrips Athena. I even got a spare CD unit just in case. However, recently i'm having problems with (it seems) the remote. Putting in new batteries did't chang... | |
| What blues are you listening to today? You guys. Just finished with Little Walter. You want real blues? Tune into Cap’n Pete’s Blues Cruise on WEVL Memphis 89.9 (wevl.org) Friday nights 9-12. Saying Zep is the blues is an interesting idea. Page would laugh his ass off at you. Mr Hender... | |
| Pure Audio Project Quartet 15 I thought they were in California. | |
| On a different note, share the artists you own that DON'T sound good The "popier" you get the more over compressed it is likely to be. It has little to do with the recording equipment, since many of the best sounding recordings are all-tube efforts from the fifties and sixties, especially classical and jazz. The ... | |
| Almost not bearable. Actually, I've always thought their first LP sounded pretty thin. Maybe that's what they wanted. | |
| Pass Labs Amps - Does the heat bother you? This is nuts. Class A amps get hot. How hot? I have a Pass INT-60, admittedly an integrated, but I could leave my hand on the thing all day long and not flinch. When you go up in output you’re gonna get more of that. The sonics are beautiful. I’m ... | |
| Should Room Acoustics be an Audiogon ‘topic’? Room acoustics is as integral part of hi fidelity as any other. If only for the sake of neophytes, include it. | |
| Burning in a new setup Burning in things that have a mechanical interface is a no brainer, i.e. speakers, headphones, cartridges, etc. My experience is that also goes, albeit to a lesser degree, with electronics. There are a lot of folks with more experience than myse... |
