| The Crazy World of Arthur Brown Arthur Brown: the rumor (who can remember accurately even the rumors of that era?) is that he was discovered by Peter Townsend as Pete heard him shrieking in the room next to his at a clinic. Brown had a mildly successful career until the crane wh... | |
| What Speaker are Great for Rock and Roll $5K-20K No, PC, that is NOT the point, at all. Rock is as demanding, and as deserving, of excellent reproduction as any genre of music. One may not appreciate Gregorian chant, for instance, but to those that do, the best sound quality means very much, ind... | |
| Ever perform a preamp bypass comparision test? Z-man: The "garbage" phrase is a popular metaphor, meaning in this context that the quality of the original source cannot be much improved downstream by a generalized application. | |

There are plenty of excellent sound engineers working in the business.Excuse me, but I like Jimi, Janis, and "the Boys" to sound just as life-like as Callas, Tebaldi, and di Ste... | |
| Can anyone describe the sound of the Kharma... Germanboxers: As a fellow audioguy also going through an entire re-build, my best wishes go out to you. Unlike many, I believe you have gone the "right" way, i.e. buy the speakers that most spoke to you and build the system around them. I haven't ... | |

| Anyone listen to the new Accuphase DP-77 CD Player Badwisdom (or anyone else for that matter): have you compared the transport in your 85 to that of the previous Accuphase cdps, i.e. 65, 75, 75v? I belive I can see a difference in the pics at A's website (I sure wish they'd give general descrips o... | |
| Anyone listen to the new Accuphase DP-77 CD Player I've read the trepidation that some feel over Accuphase's discontinuation, after the 75v, of the Sony transport. Is this based on the belief that Accuphase would use an inferior subsitute (and what ARE they using, Philips, CEC?)?Also, does anyone ... | |
| Accuphase 85 or 75v...or EMC-1? Thanks for the help! Accuphase, here I come? Jayme | |
| Need immediate help Thanks for the info everyone; and, by the way,Platsolos, there are a lot of X-1s coming up for sale; be careful and make sure you're getting what you think you're paying for: the newest ones have matching silver boxes (the older units have silver ... | |
