| Annoying sounds from cars at stop light Its a status thing for a lot of younger, mostly guys.My sons friend , who knew I was an audio lover, brought his pick up over to show me how cool it was that his new subwoofers could cause a quarter on top of the dash board to bounce 3 inches stra... | |
| Phono Stage Recommendation $3000 Hi,I've tried several phono stages. Including Pass, Audio Research.I finally found one that I will never give up.Quicksilver Audio phono stage.Lush, Gorgeous, satisfying sound, IMHO.Came with 3 nos 12ax7.Sounded great stock, but even better when I... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? As the old adage goes: Garbage in, garbage out. I have found the preamplifier to have more influence on the sound than the power amp. A warm, dimensional, tube preamp, feeding a good solid state amp, works for me. | |
| Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio Years ago, I went from generic 12 gauge speaker cable, to used Cardas Quadlink 5C, ( mostly bought on Audiogon), and was suprised that despite my preconceptions, cables do make a difference in sound. I have never desired to move up to more expensi... | |
| I'm wondering if I can fit this in my house I live 2 hours from Erie. Now to rent a couple semis. | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers Ian Paice of Deep Purple, Ginger Baker for his jazz flavored rock style. Travis Barker of Blink 182. Keith Moon, although the Who said he was great playing Who songs, but could not play anything else, I love his fills and rythm .Of course Neil Peart. | |
| A new Question: Moving Magnet Cartridge To Compliment My Rock Collection My record collection is 95% rock. Classic and other. I have always loved Goldring 1022 gx. Even better than the more expensive 1042. It has plenty of grunt for rock. Higher output, slight warmth that emphasizes the bass region a little, and a gorg... | |
| The one that got away Too many to mention in stereo gear, but i'll always regret that I did not have 500 bucks in the 1970's as I scouted through a junkyard for a water pump for my ford. 1957 ,cream colored, Jaguar 4 door sedan. Cool looking , bug eyed headlights, and... | |

| Best Record You Have Ever heard Muddy Waters Folk Singer. Original release. As real an acoustic environment wihh human voices, real musical instruments that I have ever heard in a recording.Uncanny. | |
| LaScalla "horn" sound compared to "maggie" sound I have owned both Lascalas, and Maggie 1.6. The Lascalas need a big room. I drove Lascalas with a 45 tube amp. Nothing I have ever heard approached the live like dynamics of the Lascalas in my room. I have owned scores of speakers. Only a 45 tube ... | |
| Absolute Sound - do we really need another review like this? I used to love reading Stereophile through the 90's. I couldn't wait for the latest issue to arrive. I thoroughly enjoyed the humor in Corey Greenberg reviews, and Sam Telligs reviews of affordable, budget, gear.Which was basically all I could bar... | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings Using class D for a subwoofer amp. Quite acceptable IMO. However, even an Audio Research 150.5 class D amp eventually grew unsatisfying with my Rennasaince 90's. Aragon 8008BB much better now. | |
| How did U get into this expensive hobby? It was during the late 60's, early 70's. It seemed we were all trying to be free spirits,(hippies if you will), and some of our aquaintences had apartments where we would partake of certain Mexican herbs, and listen to Led Zepplin, The Beatles, Je... | |
| Buying used Cartriges Maybe I have been lucky, but I have never gotten a bad cartridge used, either here or even at ebay. I have purchased a half dozen used cartridges, and none were ever misrepresented to me by the seller.The last thing I would want to do is to sell s... |
