Rotel RSP-1068... <0.008% THD

$1500 bucks is more than I can spend. I'm going to lomp along with what I have for now.

There's a cult built around restoring old Dynaco/Hafler amps
*



Hafler amps are lousy, I see them fail or have inconsistent gain pots all the time. Old Haflers are great though and worth restoring.

Bryston amps are killer.

For solid state.

Greenone knows what's up. Once you hear tubes it's hard to hear it any other way.

When you listen to one of your favourite songs on good tubes, I guarantee you you'll hear something in the song you never heard before.

I can't handle the audiophile lifestyle though, it's too high maintenance and OCD, and so much about the gear that the music is often forgotten.

He's sounding off.

The old ones seem bullet proof, theyl withstand a 10 amp direct short.
The new ones weren't made by Hafler, he's dead so. . .
I get the impression all the "DH" series are original and all the SE, LX and Iris are the new crap, is that right?

Wow, who knew this thread could get boringer than normal...
Grey Boy
Less predictable than
ABNormal.
A.B. Normal
Coming from the snitty fag,
that's harsh.
Grey Boy
I'm soft and fuzzy.
You all read it wrong.

Besides,
I have no fucking idea what they all be talking about,
so how could I predict it?
A.B. Normal
I really have no idea what you were talking about either.
I just assumed you were drunk, given the hour.
So, we're all good.
Grey Boy
Cool,
I have a 10 amp Dynaco with .008% THD
and other cool things if you want to see it baby.
A.B. Normal
Not really, but thanks anyway, sugar.

I've given up all my stereo equipment in favor of moving it all onto my computer.
With my crappy computer speakers.
Good enough for me today.

Speaking of which, if any of you want my 200 CD changer, tuner, dual deck CD recorder and Sony speakers, they're yours. I need to make room.

I'm here listening to
the end of a chunk

And I hear the fuse

Hey Abby, you know you can hook your computer up to all that audio equiptment you have (CD players excluded of course). I can't imagine listening to music at home that's not coming from the computer, nor can I imagine listening to music on my computer with just computer speakers. I guess I'm spoiled.

CG, when I have the cash to send it, it's yours.

Porkio, Gimme Shelter is the official driving through the desert tune.
Always the first song when I'm taking a roadtrip.

Steve Reich -- It's Gonna Rain
Porkio
I saw "Drumming" performed live once. It was performed in very reverberant space so it turned into a big blur. Amazing.

For those who don't know, it starts with one drummer playing a very simple rhythm on a tuned bongo. Then another drummer starts in quietly but slightly out of sync with the first drummer, then drummers 3 and 4 follow, also out of sync, and it creates this very bizarre phase shifting effect where the blending of the rhythms result in a weird pulsing moving mass of noise.
CelticGent
yeah, but i bet neil peart is better.
Grey Boy
Yea!
He makes a bizarre mass of noise all by himself.

Holy xit! I expect to find normal stuff on the Lounge, like sour beer and piss porn -- but not Steve Reich fans. That's too freakin' weird.

I'm a huge fan of Steve Reich and Philip Glass. Seen and met both of them...funny no one ever wanted to go see them with me.

I thought Billy Holiday was with the Earps at the OK Coral. You guys are thinking of Lady 'Day ( Doris Day )

Debbie Harry and Jim Morrison duet.

Debbie Harry was the real thing. I hope history doesn't throw her out with the bathwater of the 80s.

She's proved better.
