| Denver Hi-End? Audio Unlimited carries Avalon and JM Labs. Audio Federation (in Boulder?) carries Acapella and Martens. | |
| Bladelius Gondul anyone heard this player? Jay, when did 'need' enter into the equation? | |
| Boulder monoblocks The 850's debuted at RMAF. These blocks were - literally - brand new, not broken in. They were mated to the new Accuphase DP57 and were driving a new model of the mid-line JM Focals. Very, very good sound. I also listened to the 2060 which was dri... | |
| Happy Thanksgiving I hope everyone gets the chance to share the day with the people they love. Another great opportunity to give thanks, strengthen the bonds, remember those who are less fortunate, eat too much and listen to good music. Peace! | |
| I am openning a shop. What equipment should I sell Sounds Real, I guess the real question is whether you are independently wealthy, or whether you intend to make a living from this enterprise. A friend of mine who is a dealer has stopped carrying a well-known, highly-regarded speaker line because ... | |
| Help finding a Charlie Byrd album Concord 4389 | |
| Red Trumpet still in business? So, any further word? When I first saw Slipknot's response I emailed Rick because I, also, have orders pending. I have never heard back. If Rick has moved on to something else, who is running the site? As has been noted above, orders can still be ... | |
| Vibration control question.... If I'm not mistaken, Corian and similar products are styrene-based so any resonance they might have would be of a considerably different character than igneous rock. Whether Corian in combination with layers of wood would provide the same kind of ... | |

| Review: Audio Aero Prestige SACD Player reference CD Player Thanks for the comprehensive review, Cics. I listened to the Prestige in two rooms at RMAF, the Audio Federation room and Globe Audio's room. AF's setup included Marten's Coltrane speakers and the results were understated but quite lovely. What wa... | |
| Jimmy Smith's best albums? Jimmy Smith passed on earlier this year. Anyone who had the chance to see him perform live was fortunate, he was a wonder on the B3. I can't think of a bad recording of Smith's...buy them all. | |
| Your Top 5 Sax Players? While Desmond has been described here as a proponent of 'smooth' (more aptly known as 'cool') jazz, he was really much more than that. He employed adventurous time signatures and Brubeck acknowledges this in an intro during the 1963 Carnegie Hall ... | |
| A. A. Capitole owners - what's the next step?? Renaat, it's always interesting to see how components affect other systems. I used to run Siltech (Gen 3 80 xlrs) IMS but they were too bright. I also auditioned Valhallas, which were too forward. Nirvana found a solid middle ground which conveyed... | |
| A. A. Capitole owners - what's the next step?? Mattheus, I'd certainly like to hear that combo, particularly with the Kharmas. My only previous experience with Metronome are earlier, one-box iterations. I auditioned several one-box cdps and one trans/dac in my system before settling on the Cap... |
