Re: Audiophiles! Let's talk about gear and great audio production!
Harmon Kardon T403 Tuner, A402 amp and a pair of EPI TE/100's. Old junky CD player. These things rock my little listening room.

And yeah OP, Tool rocks!
 Quoting: Sledster


I have an HK receiver as well, great piece of hardware. Trying to figure out what to do w/ it after I went w/ the Marantz separates. I may power some outdoor speakers with it (they're Bose...yuk). Never trust a speaker manufacturer that won't publish specs!
 Quoting: Fret Wiz


Have a ton of other hardware as well, HK430, HK730, large stack of DBX XG Digital series stuff, a nice pair of Cizek speakers, a set of Bose 501 series 3 speakers that I use on the deck..etc etc..but I mostly use the HK seperates and cd player or my T7 turntable.
I'm tired of waiting, somebody push the damn button already!

Keep your 72 virgins, give me one old biker chick.

Download this - Blu-ray quality 1080p


 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 43844538


Thanks, AC, but I just hate most live recordings. I guess I'm a studio whore, but that sounds pretty good! I downloaded it w/ keepvid ;-)

I'm a live and loud kind of guy. Theater room is LARGE. Running a Klipsch 5.2 system, not impressed with 7.1 or 2.

Van Alstine all the way. Magnepan 1.7 Tuba THT. My theater is another story. You are wasting your time with CD. Vinyl all the way. Best production [link to www.youtube.com]
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13967411


WOW! Magnepan, so epic! Yes, damn it - VINYL! How I can burn a friggin CDR that sounds better than a bought CD is beyond me. We've been lied to!

Ya know, I just love GLP's insight. Audio snobs are everywhere, I don't count myself among them, that's why I started this thread.

I'm curious, is your preferred encoding still DTS? I prefer lossless myself, DVD-A or blu-ray if possible!

What's the last great listen you had, AC?
 Quoting: Fret Wiz


DTS Master, hard to find with live stuff, was a concert DVD freak until the net started taking over, most stuff I get now is downloaded as soon as it hit's youtube. Have a few great titles that were pulled real quick. Example, Guns N' Roses@2012-05-31 Arena, London@Full HD. Sweet.

Notice how it getting hard to find concert DVD's now, They make you buy Blu-ray along with a CD. I guess they don't like ppl listening to DVD's in the new autos. With DVD-in-motion you can have audio and video in the front seats. lol

Washburn Slime
Bc Rich warlock custommade
Yamaha Studio 112
Gibson LP white pearl
500 watt CWR Bassamp
Rickenbacher


and a harmonica, and gues what, i sing too


ya got great stuff though
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 43901661


Nice! I'm a player, too - got me a Jackson soloist last year and a 2x12 Genz-Benz combo.

How's the BC? I've always wondered about them. Lusting for your Randall! My Pop has a black '72 LP custom and a '54 Telecaster....smoothest neck ever on the Tele & the LP may be the easiest guitar to play, ever!
 Quoting: Fret Wiz


That combo is sweet!!

The BC, it was the guiatr of the universe when i was 16....basicly it's shit man, the wood's not even that heavy,while they say it's mahogany, this is not the case with BC, my best advice, if you like pointy guitars, jackson/dean/old 90's washburns are the way to go, sat away from BC-rich, unless it's a pre 90's mockingbird with neck thru, most of them are red with a black lining,those rock! the rest=garbage
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 43901661


You know, I just always discounted BC's because I couldn't sit down and play them, much like Gibson's Flying V (which I lusted after as a kid). I loved my Charvel Model 6 which got stolen shortly after I bought it...I guess the Jackson makes up for it :)

where can you get kits for them amps? what kind of cash?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16591630


No kit you have to get all the parts, even make your own circuit board ( not all that hard ). The power transistors can be had for free as samples from the manufacturer. The electronics should be around 75 - 100 The case can be whatever mine is in a modded plexiglass printer stand with oak sides so I can see inside.

"Those who would sacrifice freedom for security deserve neither"
--Benjamin Franlkin

No one ever said freedom was safe. Upon true understanding of the concepts of freedom, you shall realize that freedom is the most dangerous choice of lifestyle. There are no guarantees in freedom but those one provides for themselves, at their own will. True freedom comes with extreme personal risk. Are you willing to take the risk?
