| Who was your first Hm, Rockvirgo, I would fully agree with your following sentence, which I incidentally find very well put, that "assigning racial labels to individuals or groups in an attempt to somehow explain, define or symbolically organize their behavior is th... | |
| Who was your first Newbee, nice of you to chime in. In a sense, and I mean this with a touch of malice, you may be right. Never thought of Chet's music this way. His audience? I wouldn't really know. But our "intellectuals" in Europe, especially those who flirted wi... | |
| Who was your first Goldeneraguy, it makes sense what you say of course. Besides this is all purely personal. I don't pretend to be an expert. All I am recounting is the fact, that today, now quite old, I still am moved by the music of those names I mentioned, while ... | |
| Who was your first True of course, Ferrari, I was thinking more of the hard core crowd of those times. I heard Mulligan live in Paris many years ago, collected LPs of all the names you have mentioned, but even in my early years I found their music "intellectual and ... | |
| Silver cables and CD players "Perhaps we can include quality in the scope of implementation."Not perhaps, we must in my opinion. More often than not, good design and first class material is spoiled by bad soldering and more often than not this is the case even with expensive ... | |
| Who was your first MapmanYour examples are not Jazz in its strict sense and what are "fine and more accessible elements" of Jazz? To me, Jazz is essentially "black music" and for sociological reasons alone, think of Mingus, Parker, Miles, it is not necessarily inten... | |
| Input Impedance for VTL MB 450 Signature Why not get in touch with Bea at VTL and ask her directly? Though always very busy, she is also very kind and helpful. Add the Serial Number of your amps, when mailing. You might have to wait for a few days for an answer. | |
| recommended 6922 tubes for a moderate price? All three mentioned above are good addresses to be trusted. I would be careful with eBay as a beginner. | |
| Company loyalty- What has been your favorite? Heck, yes I forgot him. A great guy! | |
| Silver cables and CD players AudioFeil is right of course. Besides, you've asked this question more or less before and got plenty of good answers.It is sometimes said, that silver will add to brightness. I myself would not think of using silver cables (quite apart from what B... | |
| can a tube-o-phile be happy with ss? I loved Chad's and Newbee's posts, had a similar reaction to Jadis like Loki1957 a few years back and completely agree with Bill. After a few sleepless nights and finally throwing fiscal sanity completely overboard (following the late Harvey Rosen... | |

| The best speaker you ever heard? I agree with every word. Well spoken, thanks!Nice system by the way, I see, like me, you have not followed trodden paths!Cheers and happy listening, | |
| rca plugs - comparisons? Very good point, Sonic_Genius! Our gear in those tests mentioned didn't however. Our jacks were premium ones. Should have mentioned that. | |
| rca plugs - comparisons? Mrtennis, Pjwd,you are indeed quite right, I think. Crimping or a good screw-down connection is - theoretically at least - to be preferred. If however soldering is done right and you manage to get a good and tight metal to metal connection first b... |
