| I need a female jazz vocalist. No Krall, No Norah Try Etta Jones (not the same as Etta James). Lonely & Blue is the album I know. | |
| Going from an ARC CD-2 to Sony XA-777 ? See if you can borrow a very good SACD player and try it in your system. You may or may not find that it competes on redbook with your CD-2, and you may or may not like the sound of SACD (probably you will, but no guarantees). | |
| Are Dealer Recommendations Useful or Useless? Duke is the best. If I lived in New Orleans, I'm sure I'd own Sound Labs by now. | |
| tubes with thiel, meadowlark or revel Where's Zaikesman? He runs 2.2s with VTLs and says it's a great combo. In fact, I think he has said that Thiel uses VTL as one of its reference/voicing amps.Alex, you're still around, I hope. | |

| New Theil 2.4's any opinions 2.4 should be easier to drive than the 2.3 | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? I've moved on to my "what you might be driving in the future," a 528i. Can anyone advise about upgrading the audio system? | |
| What is your favorite low-tech tweek? Jonathan Scull's best tip (maybe his one and only good tip): If you wear glasses, take them off for serious listening. | |
| New Theil 2.4's any opinions Kensekd, when you say were taken aback when you learned the price, what do you mean? That for about the same price they are nowhere near as good as your 3.6's, or that they are far better? | |
| Talon Hawks Talon has a new monitor called Hawk. Totem has a floorstander also called Hawk. Totem was first.The Talons sounded very good in SF. Very much like the Ravens without the bass. The family sound is remarkably consistent. It's never done too much for... |
