Help finding a Charlie Byrd album
Hey Scott, clarification, I didn't say DeeDee was Charlies wife but one of the three guitarists, I didn't catch which one. Also, they did say it was on the Concord XXX label, I don't remember what name comes after Concord, where I placed XXX. Than... 
Help finding a Charlie Byrd album
Thanks Sdcampbell, I should note that I don't think it is a Charlie Byrd album per se; I suspect it would be labeled with all three guitarists names. I did see the "trio" albums that Charlie did and after looking at them, they are not it.I know fo... 
How's aboutnthese new Diamond B&W's???
I feel they take a good 5-6 months, with a lot of playing, before they settle in. 
Has anyone compared trivista to kw integrated
If you guys are happy with the Tri-Vista, just enjoy the tunes and don't fuss with things; easy to say I know.That said, TAS reviewed the kW500, issue 152, and prefered it to the Tri-Vista.[url=http://www.theabsolutesound.com/newsletter/152/musica... 
B&W or Sonus Faber with Musical Fidelity A5?
Will the brighter 805s be tamed by the A5 and actually provide a nice balance of relaxed presentation and better detail?Having owned the Signature 805's, which the new 805S shares the same tweeter, I don't think they need "tamed"; if there is a pr... 
Sonus faber Cremona Auditor and Jeff Rowland??
I wouldn't rule out the possibility of the Rowland and the SF being a mismatch, both are reported to be on the laid back side of the spectrum. I am quite fond of the Concentra II, having owned one; here is what Rich Maez (of JRDG) responded to me ... 
H.P.Caravelles owners, are you still Satisfied.
I haven't been on the 'gon all summer, but for a very few times. Never fails.That might cause some to look in the mirror. :) 
Musical Fidelity Trivista 300 vs. kW500
Hi Dave,If you don't mind me side tracking here first, this store your talking of stinks! It would be easy for me to tell you to just forget that store because their treatment of you, but I also realize you can't simply go down the street to anoth... 
How good is the Musical Fidelity A5?
Tubes are no guarantee of a warm and fuzzy sound. 
How good is the Musical Fidelity A5?
I had the A5 CDP with the kW500 and B&W 802D speakers and I did not have the same great experience as the poster above. When I first received it I also had a Classe CDP-100; in my short time comparing the two I thought the A5 was very slightly... 
Of the B&W Signature 805 and the new 804S
They (Silver Signatures) sound great with good imaging and amazing dynamics. Compared to the newer Sig's, the match up very well. It's different sound, not bad, but different from the newer series.The Sig 805 has a tighter sound especially in the ... 
My Meridian G08 doesnt as good as i thought ...
I agree that maybe there could be the possibility of a synergy issue. That said, I purchased a G08 recently and I am simply amazed at the difference it has made in my system, I am very, very happy with the purchase!! 
TDK SA-X or Maxell XLII-S which is best?
A couple people did a very good job at addressing your question already, but I'd like to add that the "best" tape can be deck dependant. The calibration of a deck can favor one tape over the other, this was alluded to above. 
Need Help with Plasma Burn In vs. DLP Decisions
The Sony XBR (tube) TV's I have seen look great, so I understand your waiting. That said, next year there will be something to wait another year for, and so on...
