| SET Shootout China VS The USA Give me some jazz! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @tyray, Neither did I mention Grant Green, or Kenny Burrell, or Russell Malone. There are many, many, great guitarists. And the great ones all played archtop’s. Was that because they too were traditionalists? I’m not saying Pat Martino wasn’t a gi... | |
| Is the Audio Ref-6SE worth 7K more than the BAT VK-80? I’ve owned BAT preamps and can attest to their superb quality. I’d never purchase a $17k preamp and never buy into the hype of overpriced audio gear. Learn when great sound is good enough. Don’t chase your own tail in the pursuit of overpriced gea... | |
| Tube Preamps that work well with SS amps? Okay, now the OP is trolling with 2 threads asking the same thing. | |
| Tube Vs. SS Preamps Get yourself a BAT or Conrad Johnson tube pre. The difference is noticeable and pleasing. I’ll never go back to SS exclusively. I can’t believe you never sampled tubes in 25 years. But you don’t know what you’ve been missing. | |
| You own a store, you sell 2 brands, which? Martin Logan Speakers Pass Labs Amplifiers | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Delfonics?! Sh*t, you ain't said nuthin', I grew up on them. Now, tell me this is a dream. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman, I’ve been a member of the jazz.be website for 14 years. It’s the finest jazz website on the web for all things jazz guitar. But a very few there are actual jazz guitarists. Every one of them grew up playing rock and later came to jazz la... | |
| No Insurance with FEDEX as of 11/01 FedEx has apparently changed. Between 1995 to 2005 I shipped 200k of stereo products between amps, preamps, speakers and everything else with FedEx. Over 200 packages. Not 1 was delivered with any issue. Between 2010 until present I’ve shipped 75... | |
| Who Tried Power Conditioners Over The Years and No Longer Use Them Today, Any Why? 50 years in this hobby. Never once used a power conditioner. Some feel they hear a difference. I don't. Money saved. KaChing! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Guitarist Anthony Wilson live with Diana Krall. I much prefer his tone to Pat Martino’s. Reason being Anthony plays a Gibson Byrdland archtop as opposed to a tele like guitar. Save the tele’s for Rock. A serious jazz artist must play an archtop i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hank Mobley, Soul Station. Lee Morgan, Search For The New Land. Each on 180 Gram vinyl. | |
| Dedicated 20 Amp Line for Audio I have two dedicated 20 amp circuits. I use one for the amp, and place everything else on the other. I have two quad sets for a total of 8 plug-ins in my audio room. I don’t use line conditioner’s. This is good enough. | |
| Best light weight full range speaker recommendation. I use Martin Logan Spire’s. They’re 5 feet tall, and only weigh 57 pounds. 95% of that weight is in the speakers woofer base. The electrostatic panel weighs nothing. They’re full range with as deep a bass as anyone needs. $3300 used from a local s... | |
| One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle. To heck with them. Their prices are way too high anyway. Their customer base is rich folks willing to pay top dollar No discount prices anyway. They'll be out of business within 18 months. |
