| Review: Dahlquist DQ-10 Speaker I had this system, too, many years ago only driven by 150w monoblocks. Swapped it for some electrostats and so forth and on. Years later, on display at a dealer, I saw a used pair with the metal cross work removed from the screens, a ribbon tweete... | |
| Modern day female jazz recommendations Dee Dee Bridgewater and Dianne Reeves have several very fine jazz recordings between them. You can check em out on Amazon. Two British birds with some good sounding jazz on Linn recordings are Claire Martin and Carol Kidd. If you're old school try... | |
| Your favorite classical/flamengo guitar CDs Paco Pena is a beautiful traditional player. Try Azahara on Nimbus Records. But for shear being nailed to the back of your chair . . try the opening track of Gino d'Auri's Passion & Soul (pasion y duende) on World Music. Put your volumn contro... | |
| Miles Davis - CD, Lp, pressings comparisons I have Kind Of Blue on Classic Records 180 gram vinyl and a Sony 20 bit gold remaster. The record sounds more organic to me overall with warmer bass and a sweeter cymbal sound. That could have something to do with my cartridge of choice as it lean... | |
| Best female vocals on CD Must agree with Redkiwi above. One recording in particular by Ms. Horne with wonderful intimacy is "You Won't Forget Me" on Verve. The title track has a little noodling by Miles Davis. The track entitled If You Go will kill you.For great jazz voca... | |

| Name your favorite sax solo. Wayne Shorter's tenor solo on Free For All- Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers (Blue Note). Blakey pushes this boy on the opening track for chorus after chorus and Shorter digs down and finds stuff I'm bettin he didn't know he had. He positively l... | |
| your favorite michael brecker recording? Three Quartets- Chick Corea | |
| Toe-in for Harbeth M30 in a narrow room? Robert Greene, technical director of TAS uses 40's but I don't know how big his room is. A customer of mine uses Spendor 1.2's, a speaker closer in size to yours and he, also, listens in a narrow room altho one side is semi open. I made some thick... | |
| most accurate loudspeakers.... Viridian- I do like your thinking. If my man isn't to remote, he should go to dealers in his area toward the end of the week and see if they won't let him take home and audtion over the weekend. The latest Merlin monitors are getting a lot of pres... | |
| Which Steely Dan Aja lp to buy? I think, and this is a think, that you rely on Kevin Gray. He does a lot of work with Steve Hoffman, a fellow highly recognized for remastering. His surfaces are quiet, too. |
