No ... I got rid of all my old records and the Technics turntable years ago. I'm not a purist like so many folks here.

Other than CDs, I sure like the sound of the digital music you can order through a cable company though. Every imaginable type of music you could want (well, almost), and very high quality sound.

I wonder how many people here use those services?

I personally like 60s rock. Well, I went to high school in the 60s :)

Now I have to get rid of my older Sony 5 disc CD player. Won't play DVD or MP3.

Ron,
 
I was just thinking ... Looking through many of the posts in here, you don't ever hear much about people using Crown power amps.

They used to be the big ticket years ago.

I think Mark Levenson amps were also super high-end.

I guess the Search function may pull up some posts about them ..

Years ago, I had a friend who loved classic rock 'n roll played at high volume. His electronics consisted of a McIntosh C26 preamp, I forget which McIntosh power amp (driving the smaller pair of Cerwin-Vegas with 12's he had) and a Crown DC-300A (driving the larger pair of CV's he had...those had 15's). In a small one-bedroom house. It was LOUD. very clean, not balanced in an audiophile sense at all and no imaging due to 4 speakers placed all around the room, but for just crankin' rock 'n roll for the sheer fun of it, unbeatable. :D

I loved it.

You'll see Crown is professional set-up, they're ususally the amps of choice at concerts. Crowns are used locally here at the Jazz fest, lat time I checked anyway.:D
 
Shear Power

I have a pair of Adcom GFA-565s for pure power. . .I use one for my SVS 20-39 sub. This amp puts out a lot of horsepower. . .Stable at 2 Ohms and less, enough power to drive my SVS wickedly loud!! Over 1000 damping factor. . .A shame to waste it on a sub but subs need power too. . . .I dont have big enough circuits in this house to run both at full tilt. . . .Might cause another blackout. . .LOL. .
