| Best inexpensive integrated for PSB Gold speakers. Chelillingworth, have you had the chance to compare the NAD to similarly priced Rotel RB 1070(120W) or 1080(200W)? Reason I am asking is I'm in market for an inexpensive SS myself. I have been impressed w/ the Rotel but have not listened to the ne... | |
| Rogue Audio or Mcintosh I have never popped the top off either and have never inquired and so have no direct knowledge about your two choices. But.. do not assume that old is bad and that newer is better. There is so much hype and always a new Rogue, I mean vogue in the ... | |
| Wheres the best place to find a Scott 299C? There is a nice website for Scott at www.hhscott.com/Default.htm if you are not already familiar with it. Loads of info and a forum. I have not been on the forum for awhile but found it very helpful in locating stuff last year. Hope this helps. I ... | |
| Do the Audio gods shine upon you? I agree with Garfish. Mood is everything and my mood is never more ready for improved sound than when I've spent my weekly allowance for new cables. My mood becomes much clearer and more transparent. Sincerely, I remain | |
| Revel Studio or Salon? There are a pair of new Studios for sale here for $7500. Wish I was in the market. Check it out if you haven't already. | |
| Monoblock disadvantage or...? Marakanetz, could be lots of stuff. Do a search at the Asylum if you haven't already. There is a lot of discussion there about hum and how to track it down. No sense reinventing the wheel here. That site has way more techies on it too.Sincerely, I... | |
| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? Rupertdacat, I don't know what Chuck Berry said but I can tell you from personal experience that it is futile and sometimes dangerous to try to duck walk to Coltrane.Sincerely, I remain | |
| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? ya Detlof those times are gone and they were short too! You mention Monk, Coltrane, Armstrong, Davis, Ellington, Bley, Hodges, Bechet and Parker. Where are the likes of those now? If you take Bley out of the list they were all born within a genera... | |

| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Pbb, we all start dying the minute we are played. Maybe I fell some psychological affinity with vinyl(we need to talk Detlof). Not touchy, just the truth and the sooner one realizes it the better. You will notice from my last post(i wasn't kidding... | |
| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? Sc53, I fear that you are only one Lp short of neurosis. No one is going to come to a conclusion anytime soon. Personally, I think if you are on a journey down the ECM road that is very good indeed. Remember that the journey is where it is at and ... | |
| need 5 speaker setup; have 1200 Leo, I did not get the idea that the salesman were stupid, rather, they thought I was stupid and were willing to say whatever it took... there is a difference.. I agree with you about common decency, except it just isn't so common anymore... espec... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Pbb, when I was in college and used my turn table as a pizza carousel my vinyle sounded that way too! The hell of it is those were good days and the music never sounded so good.Sincerely, I remain | |
| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? Marakantz (how's the poetry coming): the Methany - Charlie Haden effort, under the Missouri Sky ,is listenable too, but somehow I do not like to think of it as "smooth jazz." Call me an elitist - Maybe I need a shrink. Where is Detlof when you nee... | |
| need 5 speaker setup; have 1200 Wow! what a lot of respect for audio stores! They must be a different group in your neck of the woods! I use the old 10 question test. You know, the dumb like a fox routine. Ask 10 questions that you already know the answer to when you walk in. My... |
