| Diana Krall - What is your favorite CD of hers? My go to Diana Krall CD is "Steppin' Out" from 1993, one people don't usually list as their favorite. Body and Soul, 42nd Street and Jimmie are my favorite cuts. I like all her later releases too, even to an extent "The Look of Love". | |
| Sony DVP 9000 Jposs, now that's the way to do it! I hope you enjoy it. | |
| Does anyone have any impressions of Montana Spkrs? I heard a pair of Montana XPs over the weekend for the first time. They work hooked to a Bryston 4B, ARC transport, Perp Tech P-1a/3a and a preamp I can't recall. I was listening to modern jazz and overall the sound was big and flowing, but not as... | |
| Calibrating monitor Are you going to be using this monitor for color critical situations, or are you just trying to get it set up so it has acceptably natural color, brightness and contrast and is easy on the eyes?I'll guess that it's the later, because LCDs aren't g... | |
| Which SS preamps will compete w/ tubes? I was very apprehensive when I decided to get a tube preamp. The thought of having to open up the box, buying and experimenting with different tubes almost prevented me from taking the plunge.Well, that was seven months ago, and I'm glad I made th... | |
| Single brand vs. multiple brand ICs and ACs I've set up my system both ways and am enjoying great success right now with the all one brand method. Until March of this year, I had a menagerie of cables and cords behind my components and was never fully satisfied with the sound. Since going t... | |
| 5 most overrated movies ever...... Killerpiglet - I thought Alien was great too. The movies you've mentioned all create an intense mood not through action, but through good filmmaking and great photography. I'd like to add the first Halloween movie to that list as well. | |
| interconnect suggests under 300 used. Bwhite, very well said. Neutral. Colored. It's all relative to the listener. Currently, I'm locked in mortal combat with the challenges of my room's acoustics.It seems Sugarbrie and I have a similar approach, in that we try to eliminate as many va... | |
| Greatest American Rock and Role Bands of ALL Time Screaming Jay Hawkins!!! Constipation Blues is the best! | |
| Greatest American Rock and Role Bands of ALL Time Zaikesman, I'm impressed! | |
| interconnect suggests under 300 used. Hi Sugar, I agree with you in principle. I was using Kimber, Cardas, Harmonic Tech, Analysis Plus all in one system, but recently switched to one brand of cables that have a revealing character. I've achieved a state where my components are passin... | |

| interconnect suggests under 300 used. What are you hoping the cables will do for your system's sound? That may help in narrowing down the suggestions. I think all the previous suggestions are very good, it just depends on whether you want the cables to color your sound in any way. | |
| Definition: Excessive woofer cone excursion Excessive woofer cone excursion is when the cone extends forward or backward beyond it's intended mechanical motion limit. I've experienced that in my subwoofer, and it's very audible when it occurs. Almost sounds like a hard object is hitting a s... | |
| 5 most overrated movies ever...... Ahh, Manhunter, now that was a cool movie. In many ways that Hannibal Lecter was creepier than the one most people are familiar with. I'll be very happy when Red Dragon is made. |
