| Real Stinkers AGREED. Have you ever checked out "Get Up With It?" | |
| YG Acoustics vs. Avantgarde Duo series comparison? I've been hearing them for years at the CES shows. They are very transparent and super revealing of the upstream components. Like Magico, they're good hifi, just not my cup of tea. I guess I prefer a more "lively" sound. Anyway I don't know why I'... | |
| Amp for Duevel Bella Luna I have not tried any other pre-amps with the J2. I love the Hovland, especially the tubed phono stage. It will take a lot to displace if from the rack.What Bel Canto model are you using? | |
| YG Acoustics vs. Avantgarde Duo series comparison? Thanks Magnum. Are you chilling at the King Kamehameha Club for a cocktail tonight? | |
| Real Stinkers I really have to disagree about "On the Corner," that album has some of the best improv funk ever recorded. | |
| YG Acoustics vs. Avantgarde Duo series comparison? How can anyone compare cones to horns? They have very different sounds and appeal to very different listeners.YG might sound more "accurate," but my ears regester that as "boring and lifeless." | |

| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? I have EVERY pre-80's McLaughlin album and love his tone! Les Paul's, ES-335's, ETC...always awesome.His new sound is weak. At least Santana's tone is still good, although I can't stand the music. | |
| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? I think there is also an issue with tone and recording techniques. I find today's jazz to "clean." Take John McLaughin, one of my favorites. His tone on his new record has no balls and no sole. It's very "new age" which is terrible.Gone is the Gib... | |
| What I learned on Audiogon This Year I learned that we all complain about the reviews but continue to subscribe to the audio mags... | |
| Real Stinkers How can you not forget Doo-bop by Miles? | |
| Amp for Duevel Bella Luna I love my J2! All the texture of tube without the need to replace $1000 of power tubes ever year. Congrats on a great choice. | |
| alternatives to vpi super feet? I bought ALL the upgrades to the scout, and only heard a difference with the Gingko Cloud 11. I was so impressed with the difference, I now use them under all my pieces. | |
| Pangea Power Cables on McCormack DNA Signal cable Magic. Bests the two above easily. | |
| Need amp suggestion for PBN Montana EPS2. I think the best synergy with Montana's are Peter's own amps and Pass. I loved the X350.5 with my EPS2's. |
