| Another Scam on E Bay I recently had a scam where somebody user my user ID sell nonexeistent merch.Like an idiot I had my user password and ID be the same (must have been not thinking when I set up account).Anyway somebody says he's "chazzbo" and sells 4 Playstations f... | |
| Lester Young Anything from 38-39 which he himself considered his best work.Get the CD of the Kansas City 5,6,7's (on the Classics label of France).His experience with racism durring war and heavy drinking could be to blame but maybe this was just his time.But ... | |
| What's driving your 805's DizI hd a GFP750/5802 combo running my 805 Matrix III's but liked thepre in active mode except it was too much power and had to use passive.Myny folks say B&W need SS grunt but I also had nice resukts withsome tube stuff in the 45-90 watta ran... | |
| Whats the best modern Preamp with Loudness butto If you can swing $750 used get a Mac 712 the last entry level before current C15 (think 712 is better).Should be able to get it for half of $1500 list.Continuously variable loudness is even better than switch plus you get bass,treble, and very fle... | |
| What happened to Jonathan Scull? Me thinks that like Jerry Lewis he was a double agent for the french.Perhaps they have retired him to some Dascha in the countryside where he can drink wine and eat cheese that smells like NBA players feet whilst he trains other tunrcoats to help ... | |
| Guidance regarding 2 female Jazz legends please.. Simone is hard to reccomend just one LP/CD.Check out listings on www.allmusic.com.Billy well that's much easier.You could check out her voluminous catalog on Colombia (13 CD's or more I believe).Not the best fidelity but her voice was young and fr... | |
| Best integrated tube amp for 1500? Get a Rogue or a VTL.Both companiesmake a companion power amp to let you laterally bi-amp.So does CJ but think there too soft (I've owned them in past).Maybe another few hundered and a used Cary SLI-80 w/80wpc or a VAC Avatar for $2K.I heard the l... | |
| Which Preamp for Bryston 4BST. BP-25 or Rogue 66 I'd opt for tubes.Rogue is great and Mark O'Brien is there on other side of phone to back it up if need be (real nice guy to).Other (used) pre's to maybe think of would be the Audible Illusion Modulus 3A,BAT VK3i.But Rogue would be great and I hea... | |
| SUBWOOFER FOR MUSIC The Vanderteen and REL are pitch accurate and very musical as they have multiple small drivers and are very "fast".Not sure if the Bag End would be as quick and musical.I have heard though that the Revel sub has a big driver (15"?18"?) but it is a... | |
| Groove-Glide vrs Last Record Preservative Not sure if groove glide will retard wear as well as Last.Mike the head tech at VPI told me it was best stuff to preserve.I use power cleaner,a home brew cleaner (Alchohol,and a few drops of clear dish cleaning liquid and Kodak Photoflow so it spr... | |
| Tubes or SS for B&W Matrix 805 I sold a freind a pair of 805 Matrix III's and he went first with a CJ 45 watt and now uses a Cary SLI-80 which beacuse of his smaller room he uses it in triode not needing the full 80 watts in push pull mode.He listens to some occasional punk roc... | |
| Differences between MM or MC/Recommendations? This guy Juki from HK has good deals on Ortfon MC's and other carts.His shipping might take some time but a freind got an SME arm and liked the price/service.Hey how do you like that Music Fidelity M3?What else was in the running when you got it? | |
| Thoughts on Manley Stingray? I would go for a Cary SLI-80 used for $1750.My freind bought one recenlty and it blew away the CJ of recent vintage he replaced.I can't remeber if the sparks have bi-wire but if they do then a VTL intergrated or a Rogue would be next choice as the... | |
| Mods : Fools Gold or the Real Thing Why aren't manufacturers doing this stuff themselves?I look at this Ah!Tjube CD player and for the bucks looks good but wondering if modifying my Sony 333 would be worth it.This is the type of moded product you would think more folks would want to... | |
| Suggestions on integrated tube amps? Try a Cary,VTL,Rogue.Cary is best perhaps in absolute terms but Rogue and VTL have matching power amps availible in their lines.Latter on you might want to bi-amp for bigger room,less sensitive speaker swap or just to make the Sparks sound their b... |
