| HELP: I need a solid state amp with a tube sound There are a lot of solid state amps on the market in this category. I would look at Classe or Lamm. Pass Labs amps have more of a solid state sound. | |
| Has anyone tried SET tubes amps with maggie 1.6's I don't think a SET amp would do an adequate job driving Maggies. I would recommend at least a 100 wpc solid state amp. | |
| Buying and Selling of feedback The ridiculous thing about Audiogon's feedback is that if you leave negative feedback on someone that deserves negative feedback they will make something up and turn right around and leave negative feedback on you. At that point there is little yo... | |
| Antique Sound Lab: Problems with ASL reliability? Sonically I love the Antique Sound equipment. One problem that I run across though is that their equipment is hard to work on because of a poor component layout design. For example, I have the MG-SI15DT and had to replace a defective bias. To get ... | |
| Who's better? Jean-Luc Ponty or Eileen Ivers Thanks Twl. I'll be sure to check out Scarlett Rivera. This still does not answer my question though. | |
| Who's better? Jean-Luc Ponty or Eileen Ivers Thanks Yag17. I will be sure to check out Steven Kindler. | |

| The Crazy World of Arthur Brown It does say on the album that Pete Townshend (the old psychoderelict himself) was one of the producers. In addition to Arthur's crazy screaming voice I love Vincent Crane's Hammond B3. I have the first Atomic Rooster album with Vincent Crane (ther... | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green Rel2, thanks for the background info on Peter Green. You're absolutely right, there's something magical about British guitarists. BTW, do you know who does the slick guitar riffs for Alan Parsens? | |
| Top Ten Speakers of All Time? I was really impressed by the Avantgarde Uno speakers a few years ago at the CES Show being driven by a $125,000 Audio Note 300B power amp. It was so nice I could have listened for hours. My dream is to someday own a pair of Avantgarde speakers (w... | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century I like Jimmy Hendrix, Dean Martin, Joe Cocker and of course Louis Armstrong. | |
| artists who most deeply touch you I would have to say Joni Mitchell is #1 and Patty Larkin is a close second. | |
| Review: Sony SC-D777es CD Player I had this unit for less then a year and was very disappointed with it. Eventhough the build quality was first-rate, the sound quality I felt was nothing to write home about. It just doesn't compare with several of the good high-end CD players or ... | |
| Vandersteen 5 vs Model 2c/2wq Combo In your situation I would go with the Vandersteen 2c. |
