| Upgrading to Tube; Amp or Preamp I would go pre amp first. Try the VAC Standard which you can find under 2K online. You can get excellent deals on the upper end Kora pre amps online too. The only unit I was extremely impressed with at or about the 1K price point was the EAR. Of c... | |
| Best Cool Jazz Record Boss Tenors, Ammons vs Stitt, sweet as hell through horns | |
| Why are EMC-1 s being dumped on market? Its just a timing thing. Seen it many times over the years with a few different products. It's quaility unit. Worth the prices advertised in most of the classifieds. | |
| dozen must have jazz cd s Cannonball-Somethin Else , Sonny Clark-Cool Struttin , Sweets Edison-Simply Sweetes , Chet Baker-Chet , Monk-Brilliant Corners , Ammons-Boss Tenors , Miles-KOB , Hawkins Encounters Webster , Charlie Rouse-Epistrophy , and either Blue Trane or Soul... | |
| Best Sax Jazz Try "Boss Tenors" with Gene Ammons and Sonny Stitt. Sonny is on the left and Ammons on the right speaker. How sweet it is....Another smoker is Hawkins meets Webster, man if they only could perfect cloning to my way of thinking. | |
| Cary 2A3 opinion Lak makes a good point Zbroyc, I forgot to mention in my previous post, I use the Avantgarde Duo's | |
| Cary 2A3 opinion I have the Cary 2A3's and find them an excellent value. They sound best with the KR tubes which they are supplied with from Cary. So far I have used the Valve Art 2A3's (shit) and a couple pairs of RCA's which are nice but a little rounder soundin... | |
| Need SS preamp that sounds like tube . With the Bryston amp I would go tube pre-amp. Had a 4B and played around for a while with half a dozen pre-amps before I went SET. Tube pres and SS amps can sound very well together. Have to get the synergy right. This can be attested to by quite ... | |
| Disappointment Sounds like your in need of a reawakening. It doesnt sound like your a acid rock, rap music fan. Consider a moderate SET system. There have been some great deals on amps on this site lately. The speakers are going to be a stretch but it should be ... | |
| Best smooth jazz albums? Try the smooth and warm sound of Ben Webster, album ? - pick one ! | |
| Accuphase DP-55 I have one, great unit for sure. Extremly dynamic and detailed presentation. Can be bright sounding with SS componets and a bare walled and tiled floor room. | |
| Coltrane. Can we talk? A few of my favorite Trane cd's besides Soultrane and Blue trane are Giant Steps and Cattin w/ Quinchette. I hear a hint of Trane when I listen to Dexter Gordon recordings. Rollins is in top form on the Colossus album but Tenor Madness is also exc... | |
| MSB Platinum DAC Had the Platinum and the Dodson in house for a run through. I found the Dodson made the biggest improvement in the low octaves. The bass was much improved with a more defined and detailed signature. By reduceing if not eliminating the bloom in the... | |
| Modifications to digital ... SCD777ES There's a guy in the club I belong to, South Florida Audio Society by the name of Andy Bartha. He is a techy and a nice guy. You may have heard of him. I am currently using a pair of 45 amps he built. He does a lot of modifications and may be able... | |
| Avantgarde Duos -speaker cables I am currently using Yamamura Millenium cables. So far these bested Wire World, Tara, and XLO. I connect to the tweeter unit though I was told the midrange is the unit more often used. I also use a silver wire harness. Nirvana supposedly makes a c... |
