| Upgrade-itus: Classé DR-9 vs. MF A3.2? What is the price of the amp? | |
| Jazz for aficionados No new revelation here since this has been said many times by many aficionados, but if one was forced to pick ONE musician that, more than anyone else, exemplifies what jazz is about it would have to be Satchmo. The number one aspect of jazz which... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****I don't understand why everyone is going Gaga over Ventura, and no one had anything good to say about Andy Bey and the Sisters. A huge step up, in my, less advanced opinion.******** Frogman will have to answer your question in regard to Charli... | |
| Upgrade-itus: Classé DR-9 vs. MF A3.2? I suppose I should practice what I preach and not make this comment, but I think it's important to point this out (speaking of "rules"):Eight responses from four respondents; and only two respondents and three responses that actually address the O... | |
| Upgrade-itus: Classé DR-9 vs. MF A3.2? I have heard the DR-9 many times (for all you too-quick-to-judge doubting-Thomas'). A close friend owned the DR-9 during the same time period of about eight years that both he and I owned the DR-6 preamp (another classic). During that time I owned... | |
| Upgrade-itus: Classé DR-9 vs. MF A3.2? Can't speak re the A3.2, but have used the A3 in my "workout" basement system for a few years. IMO, it is a decent integrated, but nothing more. The DR-9 is a classic as Roxy says. It will be a significant step up in performance in every area that... | |
| Question about Stax Lambda Pro Headphones Thanks for those links, Al. Man, I had no idea. I have to admit that those amps look very interesting. For now, I am content with my Stax amp; but..... | |
| Question about Stax Lambda Pro Headphones I am sure that Al can do a much better job of explaining this, but my understanding is that it is not simply an issue of connectivity (cable/plug) compatibility. The Stax tube headphone amps are designed specifically to power their headphones; I d... | |
| Question about Stax Lambda Pro Headphones Al's comments are on the money; as usual. I too am a long time user of both the Lambda Pros and Lambda Signatures. Before replacing the SRM-1/MK2 with the SRM-T1 as Al did, I used a Dynaco ST70 to drive the Pro's via the Stax Energizer (adapter). ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Frogman, that's an interesting comparison between "East of Suez" and "Night in Tunisia"; one is well known, while the other is almost unknown.****Check out the solo "break" by Kai Winding (trombone) at 1:01 on "East Of Suez". https://m.youtube... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, that is a killer cut. Love Jamal! Riley and Veal also sound amazing. And for the audiophiles, it's an outstanding sounding record. Jazz Village is the jazz sister-label of Harmonia Mundi. Thanks. "All my inspiration comes from Ahmad Jamal"... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, Charlie Ventura was indeed an amazing musician; one of the many who have almost been forgotten. **** "East of Suez" sounded like some place I might want to go, it sounded exotic and I liked the music.****Notice the resemblance to "A Night In... | |

| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store Well, I guess that settles it and I agree that MW is hardly authoritative. Now, your attempt at diffusing the tenor of the original thread completely ignored my attempt at diffusing by not acknowledging my brilliant and very insightful :-) comment... |
