There's some music that I like, can you tell me what else I might like?   Yeah, I'm lampooning you.  Deal with it.

On the other hand, I really like the HD600's, and the T1's.....

I've had the Supra SE for a while now, and have quite a collection of 6sn7, 7n7, 12sn7, 2c51, vt-231's, 12at7's, 12au7's, 6922's, ecc99's, 6bl7's, etc... to "tube roll" in the amp. I also use Lawton Audio (Denon) LA-2000's, which are a pretty difficult load, being down in the 25ohm area. I...

Hi all, Does anyone have a shematic for the Singlepower Supra SE (single ended) amp? I've been asking Mikhail for one, but no response. I have a friend that is a good tube tech and I want to have him give the amp a check up for me. Thanks in advance for any help.

OK, I have a singlepower supra, and I like it quite a bit. But, I think maybe it's just a weeeee bit under powered for the super low impedance that the Lawton audio (Denon) D5000's represent. So, I'm thinking I should sell the SP Supra and get something either transformer coupled (such as the...

I have to have closed headphones in my current situation. I love the HD600's, and I own the Beyer DT250's (the 250 ohm version), which I like quite a bit. My question - is there another headphone out there with a similar sonic signature that is even better from an overall quality standpoint...

I've finally got my new LA2000 with Jarrah wood cups fully burned in and figured it was a good time to do a review. I've also got the D5000s (stock) in house, which I'll be doing comparisons with. Here are some pics showing them side by side: Rest of the system is in my sig...

Hi all, Just got my supra in a couple of days ago and it's too bright/detailed/analytical with the Sylvania 6sn7 driver tube and Sylvania 6bl7gta tubes. What tubes should I try out to give a warmer, more seductive, tubee sound, with strong bass? Since the Denon's are 25ohms, I do need to stick...

OK, I've got my BB King, my Buddy Guy, my Muddy Waters, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. I would like to dive deeper into the blues. Age of recordings does not matter, but historical importance does. So far, Buddy Guy is my fave of the few I already have.

Hi all, I decided to spend a bit above my budget and get a Single Power Supra SE (capable of 400v), with a switched attenuator. How good is this amp? Anyone have experience with it?

Any artists that you grew to appreciate more after making a change in your system? It recently happened with me regarding three artists: Led Zeppelin David Bowie (early stuff) Bob Dylan All of them have less-than-great recording quality. I recently got a pair of VTL MB-125 tube...

Hi all, I'm searching for an upgrade to my current setup, and I've got about a $1200 budget. I use Denon D5000s, which I love, and I've got a couple of good amps already - Radii Audio HAP-05 with upgraded capacitors RCA connectors, and headphone jack. Nice ECC99 output tubes, good sound. I also...

Hi all, I solved an incredibly annoying problem recently - I was getting skips/stutters when I listened to my FLAC files via my Squeezebox Duet. I thought the problem was due to wireless dropouts or poor buffer performance on the part of the server and/or controller. But it was actually due to...

I am so bummed right now - I've been using my music server as my primary source of music for a while now. A couple of days ago my hard drive with my entire music collection died. No big deal, just back up from your redundant drive, right? Well, that drive died a couple of weeks ago, and I kept...

OK, my Aaron313-Fi thread was locked (I don't know why). Maybe it was the charges of homo-eroticism? If so, I've elevated myself to "Fi" status, which is certainly not not homo-erotic, but rather auto-erotic. Ferrari, anyone?

Sir, you are now immortalized. There can be only one!

OK, I've found out that Ogg can be used if you install the Xiph files for Quicktime, located here: Xiph.org: Quicktime But, I have no idea how to make it work. All I know is that I have a windows XP laptop, an Iphone 3g, and a hell of a lot of ogg files in my music library. I'd like to be...

So we've had threads on most overrated bands, and threads on most underrated bands. How about an equally useless and pointless thread on most accurately rated bands?

Background I've been looking for a long time for a connector cable to use with my Xin Mini in my portable setup. While conversing with a member here on a completely different topic (watches), it turned out that he made cables and wanted to get my opinion on what he was doing. So, I agreed, and...

OK, so I admit I have very little empathy for my fellow man. Every time I read about a 'travesty' that I'm supposed to feel bad about, I actually don't feel anything. Does this make me a bad person, or simply honest?

Hello, Can someone point me in the direction of a video DAP that supports OGG and has lots of storage? All my music is in OGG format, I have a Rio Karma, but it's too little space, and obviously no video. Looking for at least 80gb storage, if not more. Price not really an object.

OK, after a long time of living with many, many different Mahler recordings, I've come to regard Bertini as the overall best cycle out there. Other conductors may have one or 2 symphonies that are better (Klemperer in 2, Ancerl in 9, Mitropolus in 6, Karajan in 5, etc...), but for total mastery...

As a long time lover of Brahm's music in general I've accumulated quite a number of different recordings of his music of the years. For various reasons I found most of them unsatisfying for one reason or another. I believe the heart of the problem is the paradox and enigma of Brahms' music. On...

I'm a recent Umberto Eco fan and working my way through his stuff. I'm about halfway through Foucault's Pendulum and I'm amazed at how over the top intellectual it is. I'm a pretty well read and knowledgable guy, but I'm reading this thing with the book in one hand and the search page for...

Looking through the threads here, with seemingly unlimited recommended or at least interesting recordings being discussed (so many that I can't keep up with them all), it occurs to me that this is the golden age of classical music. Between new music from modern composers, to great recordings and...
