| I don't understand Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" I'm sensing you've not experienced Jazz live. To truly appreciate this style of music, you need to find a performer doing it live. Terrance Blanchard, Dave Douglas, somebody who is influenced by the Miles Davis school of music. | |
| Interconnect help for a NEUTRAL system Dogpile,I've found the brightness of MLs is often curbed by powercord treatment as opposed to ICs. Good luck. | |
| Looking for the right interconnect Very balanced systems. Very good job. Possiblilities include LAT International, Kimber Kable Hero, Wireworld. | |
| $800 Integrated Sonic Frontiers Anthem 2 integrated, Audio Refinement Compete, YBA | |
| How old is this turntable? Oracle Delphi Mk -1 Mitch,I've sold this table retail and it was introduced circa 1982. Sonically, I believe better than the Linn and certainly far less finicky in set-up. It is a keeper, particularly with the right arm/cartridge combination. | |

| indoor antenna? Sugarbrie is right, FM carried by cable would probably be your best approach. If not, I've found the FM Reflect carried by ccrane.com ($30) to best DIRECTIONALLY my Fanfare and Dynalabs antennae. So line it up and stick it to the wall. | |
| A better matched amp for my Totem Speakers? Plinius 8100 used is probably no more than what you are looking at right now. The Sonic Frontier Anthem 1 integrated will also do very nicely. | |
| Speakers for Rock Cerwin Vegas OR Klipsch!! | |
| How old is too old ?.... I've owned and loved several pairs of British monitors and understand your pain. Check out the ATC monitors for around $1100/pr. They are surprising. | |
| Suggestion for bedroom speakers Axiom M3Ti will spank all of these. | |
| I can't really hear a big difference Bob knows. Also, most good equipment takes at least 3 days to warm up and sometimes a couple of weeks to really roll. The real test will be switching back out after 3 weeks listening. That should really tell you. Good luck. Congrats on the VTL. |
