| Best concert you've attended SRV @ Fitzgerald’s, 1980-1982 John Lee Hooker @ Rockefeller’s, early 80’s Alan Haynes @ Corky’s, 1982 Ronnie Laine benefit concerts in Dallas (Clapton, Page, Cocker, Beck, Rogers), c. 1983 I’ve been to concerts by the Stones, Who, Bowie, Clapt... | |
| "You spent how much on that cartridge?" Does it make sense to put a $15K cartridge on a $2k turntable? I haven’t heard of anyone who has tried that. The other way around, vice-versa, in reverse, might be better. Unless that’s backwards. | |
| connecting subwoofer via speaker terminals Thanks for all the responses! I do monitor them. I will look for subs with speaker-level inputs. | |
| Name your favorite Integrated Tube Amplifier & why? Rogers High Fidelity. Sound fantastic, and built to a higher standard than anything else. | |
| Tube rolling in Hagerman Trumpet MC @chickenoregg, can you provide your website or contact info without antagonizing Audiogon? I am persuaded that you know what you’re talking about and trying to represent your tubes accurately. | |

| Pioneer home system value +1 @ghdprentice, although I think he's a little on the high side. I remember my Pioneer SX-850 from that period. People now buy this gear only for its looks, and nostalgia. Japanese designers of that period designed for specs, and did not list... | |
| Are driver tubes as critical as gain stage tubes? Thanks! | |
| Digital Room Correction: Where in the chain? The problem here is applying the correction to lp. It would be better to apply the correction to a digital signal, before the dac. I assume most audiophiles resist disturbing the all-analogue chain of lp’s and tape (otherwise, what’s the point?) ... | |
| God, I hate to ask this… You know the old joke: an audiophile’s greatest fear is that his widow will sell off his gear for the prices he told her he paid for it… | |
| Validation @ toddalin I can’t either. And my friend is 70, but I didn’t want to insult his ears… | |
| Validation Of course, compliments are always appreciated, but it’s not about ego, validation, or anything like that. If you don’t want any critical input, it’s your loss. A friend came over, so I played his favorite record (Santana’s first album). He co... | |
| More potential bad news for some big names... @ wswright20 and @noromance No politics, just fact: “Most people” have not spoken (voted). C. 22.7% of the US elected the current thing. | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? I value the input of several posters here. I really wish there were a way to block the rest. | |
| Solutions for converting vinyl to 256 DSD? I've had a similar concern, such as, "what to do with 160 Duke Ellington lp's"? I suspect that you are underestimating the personal cost to digitize a significant # of lp's. Factor in, e.g., a top a\d converter, wear on expensive stylus, clea... |
