Any opinions the 2 best Tony Bennet CD ?
Don't know what album it originally was on but "Stranger in Paradise" has got to be his best song. No - never mind - "When Joanna Loved Me" is . Actually, the best is "This Is All I Ask". Can't decide. Bill Evans, on a later album, mentions that t... 
new Electrocompaniet vs older LINN Karik/Nemeric?
I don't have experience with these but I'm curious as to whether or not your also considering the 506.24. 
Integrated amp into Lightspeed?
Thank you gentlemen. 
Best jazz either purchased or released in 2001
Hands down: Charles Lloyd's "The Water is Wide" (2000). An excellent recording with Brad Meldhau on piano and the late Billy Higgins on drums. I believe it was a Stereophile Recording of the month and I expect it to age well. Happy New Year! 
HELP No sound from tweeter.
I've determined that MS is owned by Marantz and I'm hoping that they'll be able to help me find a tweeter during office hours. Their website was no help. Thanks all! 
Best Shearing Recordings
I really enjoy his collaboration with Nancy Wilson, the title of which doesn't readily come to mind. He also collaborated with Wes Montgomery and Wes's musician brothers. I find his other recordings sort of boring except for the hot covers. 
HELP No sound from tweeter.
Thanks Cornfedboy. I've since swapped out one tweeter with the other and have determined that I've got a bad tweeter. I'm having trouble finding a local dealer since MS was bought out. Also, the MS website doesn't help much for those of us out of ... 
Integrated for Dad
I'd reccommend a used Classe CAP-100. It's built like a tank. The phono section was $200 extra when I bought it new. I drive Spica TC-60's with it which I originally thought was overkill but I love the results. Good luck. 
Speaker recommendations for 2,500 or less?
I'm responding so this becomes an active thread on my home page. I've got a CAP-100 with Spica TC-60's and I'm curious what responses you get. 
Speaker vs. Room Size
Last I looked there are 2 pairs of Spica TC-60's for sale on Audiogon. I've got a pair that I absolutely love. They're a great bargain and would be a great fir for the type of music you listen to. 
best integrated for jm Reynaud twins
I'm in love with my Classe CAP-100 (vintage 1997) and Synergistic Research Sig. 2 speaker cables. I listen to a Rega Planar 25 and I'm in the market for a DAC or new CD player. Good luck. 
Why do people think I'm nuts involving audio?
They're just jealous. 
Is there any fun in tuner?
I recently purchased a Magnum Dynalab FT101A (dealer demo)and an outdoor antenna that goes through my crawlspace then outside through my wife's garden and up to the top of my car port. It turns out to be the best thing to have ever happened to me.... 
LOOKING FOR CD STORAGE RACKS
I got my metal racks from a catalog, "Hold Everything". They hold almost 200 CD's but each rack was close to $200. They're real good quality. Good luck. 
good jazz piano
Anything by Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett's "Standards Trio", Thelonious Monk, Michel Petrucciani at the Village Vanguard, Jacky Terrasson, Red Garland w/ the Miles Davis Quintet. Good start.
