I've been pondering the two Yeasayer albums and I like them, but that isn't a guarantee you will.

They have so many inflections that flash me onto other bands that I can't decide if it's derivative or if they've plaigerized enough sources to be original.

They are good in that late night sort of spacey way. Not as soporific as Mazzy Star or Hope Sandoval's solo discs, but not quite as lively as XX, either.

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...

no shit!

what a twat.

I've had a Yamaha RXV1000 Receiver for the last 9 years that has always pleased me sonically, but is now well behind the latest technology (connections, switching and codecs).

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.
