| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century Mario Lanza! I picked up the soundtrack from "Caruso" recently and forgot to give it a play. Thanks for reminding me. | |
| Best CD of Diana Krall?? Yes, Paul, I sit corrected. Her head is what I see in my mind's eye as being that big. I have to work hard not to confuse it with the clown heads from "Killer Clowns from Outerspace". Hope that you do not have this obstacle to overcome as well, it... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Kitch, good, you just saved me a bundle (even on a 30 day basis). Are they the new "improved" version of the Mapleshade speaker cables (plus $70) or the standard version? The OTA IC's have definately replaced my Homegrown Super Silver IC's in the ... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Kitch: I will be very interested in your take on the OTA Vs the Mapleshade. Did you order the speaker cable, IC's or just the jumpers? I will post on the OTA in another week and I use the Mapleshade Double Helix digital IC between the Bel Canto DA... | |
| Best Bookshelf System for a Bookshelf Three bookshelf speakers that work quite well on "bookshelves" are the Linn Kan, Castle Acoustics Isis (discontinued and hard to find) and the Castle Acoustics Richmond (which can often be found discounted in the USA for under $350 from its $500 r... | |
| Best CD of Diana Krall?? Hi Ken: I watched the same performance and base my opinion of her mike and other skills on it. I only have one CD of her now (gave the rest to my parents), but understand what everyone is saying about the mix's themselves (on many of the tunes). W... | |
| Absolute Power Cord You are welcome Fleeceba. A friend of mine just ordered one for his CD player and I offered to buy it from him if he does not feel that it is a "major" upgrade from the stock PC he is using. Not really that generous of an offer as I would like to ... | |
| Best CD of Diana Krall?? She does not use a mike or her tongue as well as she could. Either offer her some lessons, or live with it. | |
| Main line voltage from PG E PS: I live in the LA area (West Hollywood) and as far as I know we only have two electrical utilities. | |
| Main line voltage from PG E I have an API conditioner with an alarm hooked up to our computer and for periods of months at a time, the voltage has dropped enough to set it off many times a day. Your equipment will probably sound the same as it does now. A power regenerator (... | |
| Which amp tube, input or output? Yes, you should. I use different input, output and driver tubes in my Audion Silver Night to different effect. The driver makes the least difference in this amp's design, but I still have couple of favorites. I have only used various versions of t... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Lorne: Are you a friend of Bill W's? My wife once attended a meeting of the Beverly Hills chapter in the 80's at which a young gentleman who once attempted to rob "The Saloon" in BH's while dressed up as a cowboy (think "Rhinestone Cowboy") and hi... | |
| Cowboy Junkies "Open" opinions Snook: Yes, the mike used on the first cut is obviously not super directional, but the recording really does not bother me at all as this is what I recall most live music sounding like. I also like the instruments and the vocals to blend a bit in ... | |
| Which Rack Is Better? Before deciding on a rack I will suggest that you go to the Neauance website (http://www.neuanceaudio.com/) and research their custom shelving. I went from a very heavy cabinet (400-500 lbs) equipped with sandwiches made of soft footers, maple pla... | |
| best cd's to impress your friends with.. I select something unusual that I am certain that they have not heard, whether it be Yo-Yo Ma or a new version of "Duke of Earl". I do not play any of my reference tracks as I am sick of listening to them. The few local friends that are into this ... |
