Reader Carl Lundberg, noticing Wes Phillips' preference for cats, wants to know if all audiophiles exhibit this tendency. Are you a cat, dog, or other kind of pet person?
Apropos of nothing, I am prompted to share my pleasant experience listening to White Album last night, which I have not attended in its entirety for many years. It came about because one of the guys in my musical clutch ("group" is too strong a word), had a hankering to play Happiness is a Warm gun, which we've been having a blast with. Lots of interesting quirks that I hadn't fully grasped as a listener. It is such a different experience being on the other side of the stage!
Hello all, first time post for me. I need help finding an amp for my system.
Current system
NAD 542 CD
B&W 683
Yamaha R v901 a/v receiver(looking to update to the new 663.
Cadence 12" powered sub
Monster z series bi wire cables
Monster 800 series interconnects
The 683's was my latest purchase, decided to go with something upscale from my old acoustimas system.
Well, after months of grumbling and searching, I finally started my next round of upgrades. Got a great deal on a 15-year-old Rotel power amp that looks absolutely perfect and sounds absolutely fantastic. (I swear the extra wattage is giving me an extra octave of bass, even if it's only 30 watts more than what I had before) This now means that I'm using the preamp of an integrated into a power amp, and so a preamp will be my next move, as I can hear the limitations of the (1975, solid state, albeit discrete) preamp into the (1994) amplifier.
Hola,
My wife got a mailing list update form David Olney, and it turns out he is playing a 'house concert' about 90 miles from where I am working in California.
I called the number to see where the Acoustic Barn was in Newcastle, CA, and the owner answered and told me the concert is at his house, which he calls the Acoustic Barn.
It's a noncommercial venue, just this guy's private residence where he has a barn.
I think it's going to be just David Olney and his guitar.
Having previously lived in the Pittsburgh area for seven years, I was a frequent shopper at Record Rama. In fact, I was back in the area just a few weeks ago and went to check out Record Rama's offerings only to find the store closed and a farewell message taped to the glass of the door. A sign of the times, I thought to myself. Thus, my trip to Pennsylvania ended on a depressing note.
