| Mccormack DNA125 or Belles 150A Hot Rod I have stock DNA-125 which I enjoy very much. I really appreciate Zaikesman's assessment which I too feel is right on. For those of us who don't need excessive power and don't have a mega ton audio budget (and we are legion) but do want an amp tha... | |
| Audio Dealers to visit in Memphis, TN? Underground Sound is about it and they have become more HT than anything. Classe, Magnepan and B&W are their top brands. Ask for Paul, good guy. If you have lots of time to kill you can check out Modern Music on Brookhaven Circle but you proba... | |
| Waltz for Debby-Bill Evans Trio Newbee,No need to apologize about Shirley, these two recordings are very good. I'm sure Shiley will grow on me. She just doesn't grab me yet. Certainly, some of your other suggestions were dynamite! I will check out Rene Marie. To all,Tower record... | |
| Dynaudio 52se or Focus 110 ? Elderion,IF you didn't have 300 to 400 hours on the 220s you havn't heard them at their best. Out of the box I prefered them to the 82s. After breakin they opened up even more. Imaging range and depth all better than the 82s, simply more dynamic. ... | |
| Waltz for Debby-Bill Evans Trio I wanted to let you guys know I have recently aquired some of the selections you guys shared with me and give you my impressions. First, B. Evans-Sunday at VV; certainly outstanding and now in heavy rotation. Second, two Charlie Haden's-Beyond the... | |
| Dynaudio 52se or Focus 110 ? I have heard 72s and 82s and the Focus 110s and I own the 220s. Personally I think the Focus series blows away the 2s I have heard. If you buy the Focus 110s new be advised they take a while to break in. Although they are fairly new you don't see ... | |
| Waltz for Debby-Bill Evans Trio Well if Shirly was ugly then maybe it wouldn't really be cheatin :-).... | |

| The 5 Jazz Recordings You Would Take With You... Xiekitchen,The natives would certainly hold a war council on your first 5 choices but would not attack. Your second 5 would couse no consternation at all. | |
| Waltz for Debby-Bill Evans Trio Awesome thread. Thanks all. All my excess gear is now for sale. I need cash to buy new spinning discs to make joyful noise unto mine ears. Don't stop here push me on over the edge. Spinning "Something Else" as I type on viynl blue note as I type w... | |
| The 5 Jazz Recordings You Would Take With You... On the Enchanted Isle of Jazz ipods are not to be taken or taken seriously. | |
| Waltz for Debby-Bill Evans Trio Alas , I digressed, please continue in your suggestions of smooth late night jazz offerings in the vien of "Debby". Don't kick out relatively new offerings if they are out there, I just don't know of any, but you might. | |
| Waltz for Debby-Bill Evans Trio Newbee,I love female jazz vocalists but I definitely enjoy the music behind the vocalists, Barber and Krall especially. If Shirly Horn can leave ole Diana in the dust as you suggest (at least that's what I think you are suggesting) she will certai... | |
| Waltz for Debby-Bill Evans Trio Thanks Newbee,No, I have not heard the Evans' recordings you refer to but I will check them out as well as your other suggestions. I'm not necessarily looking for "live" really, just that type sound. | |
| Audio Research or Rogue Replacing the AR9s may be the the best bang for your buck. Even though they are great speakers, speaker designs of today are much more open and will give you more of what tubes have to offer. Also, if you like the Dared and if it has an unsed inpu... |
