| Must have classic recordings Orff - Carmina Burana -Bizet - Carmen - (opera) | |
| I know this has probably been discussed... Elizabeth, I don't know about my imagination but yours appears to be quite wild and developed. I doubt that you need to actually listen to music - you could have it in your head directly. I have no bad words for you. | |
| Most sophisticated and intelligent musician Yup, Miles Davis too. | |
| I know this has probably been discussed... Elizabeth, how exactly do you want us to do it? | |
| Audiolab, Rowland integrated - nothing in between? You see, that was exactly my point. Used Rowland goes for about $2500. Why would I want to spend $1500 or so for something lesser instead of waiting for a while?Also, I heard that Naim sounds too forward, don't know about that Australian stuff. I ... | |
| Music you like but rarely listen I like Pink Floyd too especially Wish You Were Here but don't listen to it often. Not sure why.What you said about stepping back and things returning with more power makes perfect sense. | |

| Playing the wifes music choices No way, never ever, under no circumstances. | |
| Top 5 Rock n Roll Vocalists Elvis Presley, Ian Gillan. Can't come up with five.People like Sir Paul and John Lennon sing well lullabies not rock. | |
| Japanese Vinyl Pressing Agreed on Japanese records; almost always better. German vinyl can sound very good too by the way. | |
| Recommend an integrated amp for my Harbeth 40.1's Though I never heard this particular combination but perhaps used Rowland integrated is also worth considering. His customer support is among the very best too. | |
