| Let's forget about being politically correct Can one hear silence? | |
| How good is the Cary 308? Rdale: I have enjoyed mine. It provides for a balanced presentation of all ranges. I won't say that it's bright, but it's not warm either. Overall I'm satisfied, and I've had no reliability issues over the last 5 months. | |
| help with budget, low power speaker selection Soliloquy 5.3s. They have a reputation for being "tube-friendly." A used pair can be had for about 1k. I'm very happy with mine; they are being driven by 50 watts of ss power, and they don't miss a beat! | |
| Old, beat-up recordings you still love. Coltrane's "A Love Supreme." I gratuated from hs in '85, but my mates and I were hard into jazz. Wynton Marsalis' version of "Think of One" was another. While others were into Duran Duran and INX, we cranked Terence Blanchard and Thelonious Monk a... | |
| Where does one place AQ sorbogel feet? If you are going to use just 3, then find the heaviest point of your component, and place them there; the lightest point gets the the other. Usually, the heaviest point will be where the transformer is. Also, put a heavy book on top of the cdp; it... | |
| VPI Magic Brick or Webster's Dictionary Thanks, Sugurbrie. You always seem to have a thoughtful comment! As for now, I'm going w/ Websters. Seems to be the more definitive choice. It dampens all vibrations pretty well for my Cary 308 CDP, and I will aver that the VPI Magic Brick is simp... | |
| Live Jazz Trio Recordings Hey, Kana. Have you heard Benny Green's Testifyin'? Carl Allen and Christian McBride provide for a swinging set. Who are on the date with Bruce Barth? | |
| Anybody own Shanling CD player? Why does Shanling include the SS circuitry? Why not just keep things simple and do tube-only? If it's just a selling point, then I'm not interested. I would rather an audiophile company produce "coherent" products. Besides, the ability to switch b... | |
| just how good are soliloquy 6.3 I don't have any experience with the 6.3s, but I have really liked the 5.3s. For me, the 6.3s might be too much. You ought to audition the 5.3s if you have a chance. At any rate, happy listening! | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Me. Well, only if no one else existed . . . Ha, ha! | |
| Fav Consecutive Albums by An Artist John Coltrane 1963-66. This was the period of the "Quartet," featuring McCoy, Jimmy, and Elvin. The ablums are "A Love Supreme," "Sun Ship," "Transitions," "Meditations." These are all on Impulse, and they are noted for composition, improvisation,... | |
| Most "Non-Digital" Sounding CDP Hey, Rrsclyde: Have you heard the 308-t? Isn't like about $800 more? | |
| Lee Morgan I don't think that Lee Morgan has ever had a weak performance. There is a live recording of him playing "Willow Weep for Me"--some European label--that really captures the spirit and energy of his improv skills. I would mention the recording, but ... | |
| Song intros that really grab you? ? Otis Rush. I really like the intros he plays on guitar. Any Place I'm Going has numerous examples of this. | |
| Best Phono Stages on Integrated Amps? Thanks, all. I keep hearing about that Plinius 8200. Reckon it's time to audition one . . . |
