| Diana Krall I don't think anyone is trying to prove that DK is a better vocalist than the jazz legends like Sarah Vaugh, Nina Simone, etc. But the level of disrespect on display here (comparing her to someone's toenail, a lowly bar singer, cheap wine) is rath... | |
| How to make your first sale at agon Just a quick update ... before posting an ad on audiogon, I thought I'd give craigslist a shot. sold the amp for $1400 cash within 3 weeks of posting. once again, thanks to everyone for their wonderful advice. | |
| Naim and Elac Adante, Wow audiotroy: the real question is that whether these Andrew Jones' designed speakers are giant killers or not? I'm sure they are excellent speakers at their respective price point, but to be honest I was a bit put off by so many shills on this site ... | |
| Diana Krall What an interesting discussion! It's always refreshing to see those with less than mediocre talent in music become self-proclaimed defenders of musical excellence or whatever that is supposed to mean.Anyways, I am hoping that DK releases another a... | |
| Melody Gardot, Live in Europe Her last album, Currency of Man, is my all time top 20 favorite. The first 6 tracks on the album are just out of this world. | |
| Diana Krall Who cares whether DK has a classical voice or not. All I know is that she brings so much comfort and joy after a long hard day at work. I've been listening to her albums for 10+ years now. You can't have that kind of success and longevity if you'r... | |

| KEF LS50 Wireless -- wow!!! @daveselbow -- I'm using Roon for FLAC files. It also does gapless playback very nicely. | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless -- wow!!! @bleu My comment about the speakers being satisfying at low volumes was only in the context of comparing with Harbeth or B&W CM10s. I felt that these two had a slight edge on the KEFs in this regard.As for the base, I challenge you to integrat... | |
| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen @mtrot Wow, I never knew NFM had an audio shop inside. Good to know, will check out the Plano location. I'm assuming it's the same one near 121 and Legacy? | |
| Bookshelf speakers that sound good on a SHELF or SIDEBOARD Or IsoAcoustics pucks if space is even tighter. I had them before and the improvement, compared to putting the speakers directly on the console, was noticeable. | |
| Bookshelf speakers that sound good on a SHELF or SIDEBOARD Regardless of what speaker you get, if you're not going to put them on dedicated stands, try the IsoAcoustic stands. It's the next best thing. | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless integration with REL sub @willemj Thank you for the valuable advice. I do have one more question ... since both the sub and the kef app has a crossover setting, do you recommend an optimum setting? Should I set the sub's crossover to the lowest and use the app, or vice v... | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless integration with REL sub I really appreciate the advice.@mattmiller I apologize for not able to fully comprehend your recommendations. Are you suggesting that I turn off the KEF subwoofer settings altogether and only tune the REL? The instruction manual for the REL descr... |
