| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Bruce +3 The darling of Stereophile critics, Joanna Newsom. I've tried several times to listen to her but I tap out after 15 seconds. | |
| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? Count Basie - Basie Big Band Toshiko Akiyoshi/ Lew Tabakin Big Band - Long Yellow Road | |
| Tube Pre/ Class D Amp - Who has done it? I'm running an ARC LS25 Mk2 pre with a DS225 amp. It's not reboxed modules, it's ARC's class D design and sounds very tubelike. I leave the amp on 24/7 and it only draws about 10-15w while idling. | |
| Looking for my End Game Speaker ProAc K6 or K6 Signature should be on your list as well. | |
| How best to arrange cables in this room... If you go with monoblocks and longer interconnects I'd make sure to use balanced cables, preferably a star quad setup for noise rejection. | |

| Warmer class D amps for magnepan? See if you can find an Audio Research DS225 or DS450. ARC's own class D design and the Maggies were designed to mate with the brand. | |

| Best Examples Of Cymbal Decays On A Recording Tord Gustavson's Karmosin from Being There. The first 30 seconds is the ultimate in soundstaging and percussion delay. | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) See if you can find an Audio Research DS225 or DS450. Class D, but their own design - not just ICE modules in a different box. | |
| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? Joanna Newsom? Really? I tried to listen to her a few times and had to tag out about 45 seconds in each time. I've come to automatically discount the opinions of any music reviewer that gushes all over her stuff. | |
| Share MYSTICAL, HAUNTING songs Paddy McAloon (Prefab Sprout) I Trawl the Megahertz | |
| Solid state amp recommendations for Maggies? If you can find an Audio Research DS225 or DS450 you'll be in good shape. So much of the Maggie sound was developed with ARC gear. | |
| You own a store, you sell 2 brands, which? Audio Research & ProAc. | |
