| Jazz artists for late starter. Watching this dead vs. alive skirmish escalate, I cannot but muse about those great composers, musicians, painters, poets, that lived and died alone in dire misery, paid their last absinthe with what was acknowledged to be the work of a genius onl... | |
| Jazz artists for late starter. A few I believe I haven't seen so far: Carla Bley (even if you don't like it, you should have heard Escalator Over The Hill once), Charlie Haden, Gary Burton, Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Jaco Pastorius, Marcus Miller, Red Garland Quintet, John P... | |
| Jazz artists for late starter. An endless list to choose from so I'll take up your point about drummers to start somewhere. In no particular order here are just a few of the icons, indispensible in every collection, whereby, looking at your list you're likely to have some of th... | |
| Audio Research 230/240 volts As I write this, my PS Premier is telling me incoming voltage is in the range of 239-241V whereas it is supposed to be 230V here in Germany. It has been showing that every day for 11 months it has been in my system. So it would seem, before I had ... | |
| Beginner needs CD HELP Don't doubt your ears, if the Denon sounds better to you, it's because it's better in your system and your room with your music. Having said that, yes there are lots of cdp that are better than both of them. So here's the first one of what risks t... | |
| Okay......best single box reference CD player Another vote for AMR CD-77.Seeing that you have dCS gear now, you may also want to give the dCS Puccini some consideration. | |
| Best amp for Sonus Faber Cremona M - need help Hi Hulskof, unfortunately, I don't know anyone in the Benelux who sells Ei, in Germany WVS-Technology sell Ei Elite 6DJ8EG at EUR 11 p/piece and you pay a small surplus for matching. However, they're not squeamish on "small quantity surplus" I'm a... | |
| A new phono pre, to replace my clearaudio basic Hi Mordante, you may recall I have high esteem for the Basic+/Accu+ combo (see the thread "What's the difference..." that you also posted in). I do believe it is far better than the old Basic. Ideally though, and given the opportunity, also listen... | |
| With 15W tube amp, which speakers to use? I use Zu Druids with a 2x15W amp (KT88s), they will fill even a large room with ease. Next to the usual suspects from Klipsch also watch out for WLM Divas with their more refined character. | |
| Avalon Indra vs Sonus Faber Cremona M Oops, haven't replied to your question of last week yet. I've come to love ceramic drivers ..., if they are expertly done (Avalan, Ayon, Tidal, Thiel). Though I can't say I've heard so many as to justify a statement of general superiority, so I wo... | |
| Best amp for Sonus Faber Cremona M - need help Thanks a lot for the link. I didn't know Mystère until now. I must get a taste of it next time when I'm in Antwerp, I've seen the Technology Factory has it in its product range, couldn't be better! I can't wait to compare the IA21 with the similar... | |
| Best amp for Sonus Faber Cremona M - need help Hi Hulskof, I don't want to overly complicate things but have you thought of Sonus Faber "La Musica" that was recently seriously price reduced (in Germany at least). Also, thinking back a few years when we were auditioning the SF Amati Hommage, I ... | |
| Which input phono or other? You need a line input! Your Project Phono Box is a full-fledged MC phono stage, never feed its output signal into another phono input, be it MM or MC. Denon deserve to be flogged if they suggest otherwise. | |
| Avalon Indra vs Sonus Faber Cremona M Hi Bob,I was genuinely curious about your TT since I always like to discover things both on the analogue and the digital front. Allow me to make a "vinous" comparison as well: I am not interested in drinking labels or Parker points - the most horr... | |
| Turntable, where is my bass??? Thanks to everyone. I actually bought ithe new IC directly from the SR distributor for the Benelux - in Germany it is not even distributed - who is an extremely helpful guy, but since the Tricon is so novel, I'll talk to SR first, see what they th... |
