Hi

Its time for an upgrade on my TT, i do like the Marantz ( with Virtuoso wood ) and the sound it gives me but im looking for a bit more. Id like a little bit more detail but what i really want is more scale and dynamics, i want it to sound bigger, fuller with more emotion. I know this is a tall order and the biggest issue with buying a TT is that im limited in audtioning and also no home trials are possible as with speakers/amps etc.

My thoughts at the moment are

Hi

I was surfing fleabay just looking for records to buy and i saw Holst planets and realised i did not own a copy. This got me thinking about a top ten classical albums, the idea is just to list the top ten most famous works, this should be about popularity and recogonition and not your individual tastes. The idea is just for fun not to critique each others taste, my stab at the top ten in no particular order

I have a Cayin A-50T integrated amp, my speakers are a pair of vintage 12" coaxial Jensen DL-220, the match the Cayin very well and have a beautiful bass and midrange performance, but are lacking in the HF 16Khz+ area. I want to get a new pair of speaker.

I have the following options B&W, Paradigm, Polk and PSB, this are the ones I can get here in Colombia. My budget cannot go over 2000USD (per pair) and I rather invest less.

I am looking for a 2 1/2 or 3 way tower speaker with:

I enjoyed Steve Guttenberg bit in vinyl...My only qualm is with his caveat "when you start listening to a first class analog front end"...

Where? When? I have never heard a vinyl setup that is as good as my very modest digital one, mine certainly isn't.

I would love to hear such a setup but, as far as I know, no one in Boise Idaho has such a thing...

Sigh...

New topic...when is Stereophile going to review PS audios new front ends...By the time they get around to it the technology will be obsolete...

The relationship between the internet and music continues to evolve in new and bizarre ways. The latest is Guvera, a site that offers free music downloads, that the principals say uses the sponsorship model in new and they hope successful ways and keeps everyone—from artist to label to consume—happy. When you register for the site, they ask you a battery of questions about your likes and dislikes and then you’re free to search for a song or an artist. The site will then direct you to a channel or channels, sponsored by an advertiser, which has what you’re looking for. Using the information from those initial customers’ surveys and then your subsequent download history, the site’s algorhythms find the target audience for certain advertisers and grab their eyeballs in a better way than pop up or strip ads. They also tell the advertisers what music the customers they want to reach listen to. The advertiser pays the royalties on the music to whoever holds the copyright. In other words, either the record label or the artist gets paid. It ain’t stealing.

This just in; art will imitate life which imitated art.

NBC has anounced a new show:

"My Name is Eldrick."

Lying in a hospital bed, under the influence of morphine, Eldrick develops a belief in the Americanized concept of karmic retribution when he hears about karma during an episode of Last Call with Carson Daly.

He decides he wants to turn his life around, and so makes a list of every slore he's ever done in an attempt to un-screw them, as he believes that this is the only way he can gain positive karma.
