| What does it take to qualify as a reviewer? What does it take to qualify as a reviewer?Since your question was asked in seriousness, I'll give a serious anwer rather than a "tongue in cheek" response. In an ideal world to qualify as a reviewer one should: 1. Be a music lover2. Have good hea... | |
| I am looking to get more bass out of my system Be careful, you can easily waste money trying to add bass in a system. Your room may not be capable in its current state, your amp to speaker match may not be the best for this, or, your subwoofers may be placed wrong. In addition, in the cable ar... | |
| Female Jazz Singers...new person/new releases... I really get tired of one of the best contemporary voices in jazz being overlooked (she's actually not new). So I'm going to capitalize her name for emphasis..NNENNA FREELON. If you choose, I can recommend starting with her recording "Listen" and ... | |
| Do you buy new equipment because you are bored Does you're system sound fantastic but you feel the need to change something out of boredom.What if you've never had the luxury of a system that sounds fantastic? I guess that's a different thread...There are those individuals in all aspects of li... | |
| Hurricane Irene A stereo system may be the last thing to worry about under the circumstances. | |
| Cheapest way to ship large speakers? I'd also say freightquote.com. I've used them without issues and you can choose the least expensive of the quotes. | |
| Heaven or Hell I say again Needfreestuff, I believe it's inconsistency in the quality of the AC powering your audio system that accounts for the alternating sound quality. Remember when the experts said the CD player was "perfect sound forever." Of course they w... | |

| Power cord with warm treble + very solid bass ? Rgs92, many of us do this (me included) and ask questions on the forums and try to extrapolate the cable experiences of others to our own systems. That approach usually does not work. Example: I have owned 2 of the cords mentioned here, the Purist... | |
| What's better than a Jolida 100cdp & under 1k? I have a modded JD100 and it's my oldest piece. I also have a Krell SACD standard mk3 and a Don Allen Marantz changer. I have thought about the 5400ES often too. It does get raves. Most seem to really like it, but I did see where one audiophile sa... | |
| Having an ear for Jazz I listened to a little jazz until my 40's when jazz exploded for me. Now its mostly jazz with some pop, soul, funk, r&b, jazz fusion, progressive rock, and hard rock mixed in. Hard Bop is my love now though. | |
| Harmonic Technology Truth Link RCA Yes, let us know your assessment of these cables. As is normal in the forums with audiophiles, I have read divergent opinions on the Truth Links. Some have said they are warm and full-bodied and at least one fellow I remember contradicted this and... | |
| Art Blakey, king of the drums. I have Moanin, The Jazz Messengers and others, but I just don't get into Blakey's drumming style or its sound. I recognize that he was great but... I don't know if it's the sound of the traps he played or how he played them, but his sound signatur... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Al, as usual, incredible analysis. | |
| The Evolution of Modern Jazz Shadorne, I'm not a fan of Big Band, but that Grusin and Brecker was a very special session, that I can't deny. Orpheus, never heard of Ike Quebec. Nice... |
