| patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole Diana Kralls last sterling effort was the underappreciated "The Girl in the other room." She and Elvis Costello collaborated on it and though is was ignored by many who boycotted it because it wasn't her predictable standards affair, it was in my ... | |
| Rant against the industry with hopes for discussion on positive change A few years ago, I told a 30 something that I spent a grand on a cd payer and 2 grand on my int. amp. When I mentioned that my speakers set me back $1600, his TikTok abused mind practically exploded, so befuddled was he. I didn't try to explain t... | |
| Perspective system advise needed. From my perspective, I would consult with your grandpa, or better yet your grammar about your prospective system! That's my "advise." | |
| 2022 Grammy Award Show? I haven't watched this tribute to marketing creations train wreck in many years. This show, like American Idol, The Voice and all the other idiot box schlock fest disasters treat music as a commodity and devalue had dishonored it for an adoring p... | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? Eydie GormeJulie LondonElla | |
| Belles Aria Integrated burn in time I’ve had my Belles Aria Int. amp for about 4 years and I love it. It seems to be a perfect match for my Vandersteen 1Ci speakers; the sound quality is astounding, open and balanced with tight, realistic bass that is never boomy, never fatiguing. I... | |
| How to shop for an integrated? John Rutan/Audio Connection played the Belles Aria for me with some Vandersteens and what I heard, to my ears, was pure bliss. He and his staff are great to deal with and he's authentic. Audio Connection is a must visit for anyone who's serious ab... | |
| Rogue Sphinx or Belles Aria??? I have the Belles Aria matched with Vandersteen 1Ci speakers and it sounds spectacular. I've never experienced the Rogue, but have read that it's pretty special in its own right. I had Rotel for years but when I heard the Belles It sounded irresis... | |
| Audio Connection/Johnny Rutan There is something about this guy that is different than the garden variety hifi sales dude. He has a ton of experience and he genuinely treats his customers like their satisfaction is a high priority. He's a cool cat with a sharp wit and an even ... | |
| Radio Days..............and you? I also started with an AM radio - a "kit" that my parents bought me back in the mid ’60s. You had to tinker with it, piece it together, slap a battery in it and it was ready to go. I loved listening to it, and have been a fan of radio ever since. ... | |
| My Harbeth C7ES-3 story... I had a pair of Vanderteens - 1Ci's - and John Rutan played the Belles Aria, I loved it, I bought it and I still marvel at this amp every time I hit the power button. I had speaker cable trepidation, but John advised some decent AQ's and I have no... | |
| BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER A lot of great choices here, but the best female vocalist in my opinion was the absolutely brilliant Eydie Gorme. I would try to describe her voice, but words simply do not suffice. A voice sent from heaven - even that is an understatement! Anothe... | |
| Calling all Vandersteen Fans JohnnyR at Audio Connection will provide clarity about anything Vandersteen. He hooked me up with AQ GO-4 with my 1Ci's... a great match - sounds really nice and spades fit perfect. | |
