| Verdi's "Rigoletto"; "La Traviata" Thanks for the suggestions. I haven't had a chance to pick up any of the Verdi discs. None of the locals stores have these. But I ended up getting a super cool version of Bizet's Carmen on London label, with Troyanos, Domingo, van Dam, Te Kanawa c... | |
| For Diana & Cassandra fans Seems like an interesting recording. I'll check it out.Thanks!!!! | |
| How to thwart cats Bradgregg, one time I was buying an amplifier from a guy here locally, so I went there to pick it up in person since it was about a 15 minute drive. Now, this was about 10 years ago, but I will probably remember it for the rest of my life. This wa... | |
| Which Patricia Barber album floats yer boat? I have Mythologies. It's pretty good, but not my favorite. | |
| Which Jazz Albums are similar to Kind of Blue Check out Tomasz Stanko "Soul of Things" and "Suspended Night".Check out John Coltrane "The Ultimate Blue Train".

| Tube amp with SS like bass I always wanted to try an Audio Research VT100MkII, which supposed to have very good bass definition, but unfortunately, with my speakers, this amp is not an option. But if you do have efficient speakers, you can consider this amp. Right in your p... | |

| Is the Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun warm?? Tboooe, by the way, when do the amps arrive? | |
| Is the Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun warm?? all I can say is try it. But my feeling is that this will be a side step at best. I also run SilverII/MatrixII interconnects and really like them. No plans on changing that. | |
| Is the Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun warm?? have you gotten your Pass amps?I just sold my AZ Satori Shotgun. Very good cable, especially with the B&Ws. But don't you run Purist Aqueous? You think going from these to Satori is a step up? Satori is warm sounding and doesn't lack dynamics ... | |

You are still in the 1960s or 70s with your vintage tube gear sonic memories. You are dissatisfied with the sound of modern tube equipment. You hate solid state compo... |
