What Speakers to use with my cj prmier 11a
I used to run an 11A with original Sonus Faber Grand Pianos and the sound was excellent, warm, richly textured, and great detail. As an added bonus my better half loved these speakers, a first, saying they were sleek and elegant looking. So of cou... 
Bill Frisell
I have to say, though I like them all, I think "Blues Dream" is the best of the bunch. I haven't seen much other support for it, but definitely check it out. 
Bill Frisell
Many of them do, try "Blues Dream", "Good Dog, Happy Man","Gone, Just Like a Train", "The Willies", and for something a bit different, his latest, "The Intercontinentals". Also for something with a bit of a bluegrass feel try "Nashville". If you c... 
Kill Bill Soundtrack
I agree with Philjolet, the gore is campy and cartoonish, not gross. It's even a bit funny at times and fits in well with the manic, over the top style of the movie. 
I need a live great recording
I almost forgot, Dave Alvin and the Guilty Men, "Out in California", a fantastic live rockabilly cd with very good sound and intense energy. 
Kill Bill Soundtrack
I agree, fantastic, fun movie, excellent soundtrack. A Tarantino classic. 
Universal Remote suggestions
Not to hijack the thread but can any of these remotes control specialized function, i.e. looking up programs on digital cable and stuff like that. I briefly had a Marantz but it couldn't learn those funcitons so I ditched it. If there is something... 
Good Amp/PreAmp combo for Alon IV
Alon's love tubes, get a good tube integrated ,there are many choices in your price range Audiomat Aperge is one that comes to mine, and enjoy. BTW what's your source? 
Meridian 508.24 or BAT VK 5i?
I would second John's response. In general I think that the preamp makes the greatest difference in any system and a tubed preamp is the way to go. Get the BAT, great sounding preamp and from what I hear a great company. Then, when funds permit, a... 
I need a live great recording
I fourth, or is it fifth the Bill Evans. I have the K2 remastered cd and it's fabulous. I would give a slight edge to Sunday over Waltz for Debbie but they're both great. Also many of the Dick's Pick's series of live Dead shows are outstanding if ... 
The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now
Cutodian,Unfortunatley Ch. Musar is quite expensive in the States, retailing for about $40 a bottle. Excellent wine though I agree. For something a bit cheaper they have a second lable called Hochar Pere et Fils that's about $19 a deselection of t... 
Audio House
Slappy, all I can say is if you can get all your criteria for $250,000 you're doing quite well. Here is DC that same criteria would be more like 4-500,000. So I'm content to compromise on things and live with my stereo, my girlfriend, and her cat ... 
Mark. Levinson New Pre-amp
My apologies, I misread. However I still see reference to the No. 38 series, perhaps it will be in between 38 and 32. 
Mark. Levinson New Pre-amp
That is actually an update of a current product, the No. 32 Reference preamp. It sits above the No. 38 series, so I would imagine that would continue. 
Personal Preamp Evolution
Not much here,Bryston B-60 used as a preamp>Air Tight ATC-1 current referenceNext, who knows?
