| Best concert video ev-ah Ray Bryant, 1977 when it started, the video quality was like an old VHS tape, I thought it was going to be horrible sound. Holy crap is the sound terrific, he seems to simply enjoy 'getting it right'. Whoever set the mics up for that m... | |

| Best concert video ev-ah I enjoy a lot of video/music from YouTube, however I can never understand evaluating comparative sound quality from YouTube. Glen was outstanding, but the quality of that video not even good. One of the first music dvds I bought, and one still h... | |

| What should I upgrade first on my budget system? op’s speakers http://www.coincidentspeaker.com/dynamite-loudspeaker.html The Preamp has very desirable features. I might consider it great value, inexpensive, but not cheap. the tube amp appears well built, evidently maker has good rep... | |

Here in USA, to buy from reluctant shippers (I don't blame them, it can be intimidating) UPS will received unpacked ite... | |
| Pre Amp for a PA-7? seller is dishonest I believe. I would find one from someone else. Has balance, and 3 tone controls, lots of inputs, both MM and MC phono (you of course can use external), two tape loops, two outputs, nice! Seems missing remotes can be acquired,... | |

| Starting from scratch in a large room IF buying an amp first, consider ’extra’ power now IN CASE you might want to try some inefficient speakers (low sensitivity, below 90 db/1w/1m). Real bookcase speakers are no more than 12" deep, have no ports, and can be used horizontally. I hav... | |
