| Beatles vs. Stones I'll take the Beatles any day. To my taste they were better writers and musicians. By the time the Stones albums were becoming great Beggars Banquet, Sticky Fingers the Beatles were ready to hang it up . | |
| I was almost 14 yrs old when Burn was released, thankfully I think I have aged well. I agree loved the MK 1 and 2 bands still play them today. It's too bad the very early LPs go so under appreciated I find them much more satisfying than the later recordings. | |
| The LRS+ Speakers I currently have 3.7i and 2 subs in a 12 x 15 room and love everything about them. Previously had 1.7i and a friend brought his LRS over and they just weren't the same with dynamics, imaging or anything except maybe a bit of midrange magic. As oth... | |
| My analog journey - time for a new phono stage or? Not on your list but have you thought of the Ayre P 5xe phono preamp it's very neutral sounding. I've been using it with a VPI Scout and Soundsmith Carmen 2 with a Pass XP 10 and 250.8 and have no desire to change. It might match up very nice with... | |
| Little Richard, Big Mama Thornton and BB King Can You Suggest Best Albums? It probably depends on the format you are looking for but I find as a general rule the most recent remaster usually sounds the best. Any of the artists greatest hits collections is probably a good starting point. B.B. King live at the Regal is al... | |
| Hey, I'm looking for the highest quality recordings from the following Artists: To my ears the Billie Holiday Columbia Jazz digital remastered from the original analog tapes sounds great. | |
| What CDs to buy Usually any of the latest remastered remixed CDs sound great like the Beach Boys, Beatles Sargent Pepper, Revolver, White or Let it Be, much cleaner sounding, great bottom, middle and highs as well as instrument and vocal separation. | |
| Budget amp that will give Magnepan 3.6Rs better depth of soundstage As a fellow Maggie owner I agree with your assessment that another amp / pre will sound much better I just don't think you'll be able to do it in that price range. Maggie's need quality high power equipment. I would start with Parasound and work u... | |
| Salk Sound Encore 3 or Totem Wind I don't have experience with either but it seems you enjoy what you have so why chang what do you feel your current speakers are lacking. It's also a risk moving on to something you haven't heard. Good luck | |
| Lisa Marie Presley has passed away. Gladys Presley (Elvis mom) was born in 1912 and died in 1958 you do the math. | |
| Lisa Marie Presley has passed away. RIP tragic family Elvis was 42 and his mom was 46 when they passed. | |
| RIP Jeff Beck The best R.I.P. | |
| Wilson to Tekton to ???? I think they look good but it's the sound that counts. I felt the same with my Maggie 3.7 in a 12 x 15 room until I heard them. If you enjoy them keep them. | |
| Hotel California sounds good on the radio. Mixed for radio would be for a small 2" transistor radio or 3" car speaker. They focused more on the mids as speakers that size wouldn't produce useful bass anyway and would also make a record skip on old turntables. I like hearing a great record... | |
| Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to Come away with me is definitely a standout album vocally, musically,song wise with audiophile production and sound , I don't think any of her other albums match it. |
