| Do I esentially have a class A amp? Unsound,Unquestionably measurements and specifications have their vital place and are needed for the reasons you state. What Kijanki and others recognize is the inadequacies of measurements to determine the most important aspect of audio component... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Benny Green "Glidin Along" features Johnnie Griffin, Ben Riley and Junior Mance. This is excellent jazz trombone, Benny could play!Charles, | |
| Dueland CAST PIO That's true bill, it's purely subjective. I'll sum it up this way, I can only see a very positive result in choosing the Duelud CAST. Good luck Ssos101. | |
| Do I esentially have a class A amp? Kijanki,Bravo! What you wrote has been confirmed by many who simply use their ears. Those supposedly impressive specifications made possible with increasing NFB don't result in high quality sound IMO. | |
| Dueland CAST PIO Bill if the gap from the Mundorf SGO to the CAST is large I believe you as you've tried many capacitors and have much experience. I assume the SGO is better than my stock Solen capacitor so thought the contrast might be more subtle. The Vapor buil... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool,There's a Jimmy Heath CD "The Quota" it features Julius Watkins and Freddy Hubbard recorded in 1961. You might like this one.Charles, | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman,Thanks for that, it captures the sheer talent, energy and genuine raw joy and emotion this music inspires, it's all there on display. Thad Jone's legacy has always been an enigma to me. He was an absolute master of the trumpet, excellent b... | |
| Dueland CAST PIO Ssos101,My crossover only has one capacitor which is at the tweeter and as I wrote earlier the change was significant. I would speculate that if you only replaced the tweeter cap in yours you should still appreciate the improvement. Salectric asks... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok,I look forward to your reviews. I bet you'd really enjoy "Together" this is a duet with Hicks and the wonderful Frank Morgan(alto) recorded live.Charles, | |
| Shifting absolutes Zd542,Very good ! Absolute doesn't have to be or mean identical, just real. I listen to very familiar musicians in different jazz clubs and their sound will vary, no surprise. But what never changes is the unmistakable sound and presence of an aco... | |
| Audio Research SP17 or Modwright LS100? Solo13,You've been listening since 1988, that's 25 years and plenty of time to have figured out what you like. Your ears are by far the best determinant, plain and simple. Trust yourself and go with what connects and involves you most while listen... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "The Big Heat" yep, that was a good one . | |
| Jazz for aficionados Film Noir one of my favorite forms of entertainment.There were the 1940s versions that were usually NYC based and by the 1950s many used LA as the locale.The west coast 1950s films really relied on jazz based sound tracks, I love them.In addition ... | |
| Dueland CAST PIO Grannyring makes a good observation, the better your system/components the more likely will be the impact provided by the Duelund CAST. They are utterly pure and natural so that much is unveiled sonically(but in no sense are they analytical).Somet... | |
| Dueland CAST PIO Ssos101,I`d say there`s no 'guarantee' of results for any change made to an audio component,it depends on the specific situation/application. I replaced the my speaker`s solen cap(tweeter location) with the Duelund CAST and the improvement was qui... |
