| Best single-malt Scotch... You musn't forget the best of the Islays (IMHO)....Ardbeg. | |
| Lyra Skala - Suitable for JMW Memorial Arms Thanks very much for your answers. The comparison between the Skala and my Nightingale should prove to be most interesting. | |
| A Reference Recording.... I received this from one of the members of Misty River:"Our band is talking about doing a new CD toward the end of this year with the engineer who did Rising, but nothing is confirmed yet."Yes please, I'll have some of that! | |
| Shortlist of best cartridges with VPI Interesting question. We seem to share many of the same tastes, both in equipment and music. I have an Aries with the JMW 10.5. The Graham Nightingale has proven to be an outstanding match with the arm. Unfortunately, a person or persons unknown b... | |
| Tube or solid state amp or amps? Mrtennis,Open your mind and your ears. What you are saying is patently untrue (in some instances). | |
| Anyone w/ opinions on Sound Lab A-2 Electrostats I have a pair of A-1s, but don't really know the A-2s. Why don'y you submit your question to the Sound Lab Owners Group:http://www.soundlabowners.com/forum/index.html | |

My impressions:Atma-Sphere M-60s - Very, very nice after the addition of the Zero autoformer. 60 wpc... | |
| Tube or solid state amp or amps? > tubes rule...I thought this for 30 years. I was mistaken. | |
| A Reference Recording.... Timrhu,I agree about the vocal separation. Take the opening of 'If I Needed You', for example. Four very distinct voices sitting out there in 3D space. Lovely stuff. | |
| A Reference Recording.... Mjw55,My knees thank you. | |
| Ayre K-5xe preamp? How close to K-1xe? I, for one, have never had vinyl out of my system, but I'm an old f@rt and had a rather large collection of LPs to begin with. I'd be the first to admit, though, that it is indeed a pain. Unless you're willing to spend a fair amount of time with s... | |
| Preamp inputs - different quality FWIW, Charles Hansen of Ayre believes very strongly in the concept of break-in for input connections. Most of us, I imagine, use one more than others. | |
| A Reference Recording.... All kinds of good recommendations. Love it, thanks everyone! | |
| A Reference Recording.... Royy,Looks to me as though cdbaby.com has a 2 CD deal for 'Rising' and 'Live' for $25:http://cdbaby.com/cd/mistyriverset | |
| A Reference Recording.... Royy,If you like those two, 'Willow' is also excellent, but slightly different in terms of musical direction from the other two. There's even a very interesting version of Simon and Garfunkel's 'Kathy's Song' on there. I believe that's available f... |
