| Mesa Baron preamp match I use a Modwright LS 36.5 with my Baron, which works very well. Before that, an Audio Research LS-15, which also worked well. Never tried a passive.btw, if yours doesn't have the tri-tube mod, you should get it. The Baron really sings with EL-34 t... | |
| Musician's Challenges Segovia's performance once left me speechless - seriously, I could barely talk for an hour after his concert - and he deserves considerable credit for popularizing classical guitar in the 20th century - but he was a sorry teacher. As John Williams... | |
| why dsd I have never heard a redbook disk played back through one of the $40,000 - $100,000 digital sources. Based on current projections- which do not include any form of retirement, and a child bound for college - I will never own such a thing. If you h... | |
| Would new speakers---- Kharma Grand Enigma...rather have 1 Million they cost. | |
| Does Any One Know About Music Angel Kt88 Mono Bloc I had a different Music Angel amp. It worked, but it was cheap Chinese, wouldn't recommend it, you won't really get a feel for what good tube gear is all about. | |

| Rega Arm mods-is it really woth t it? I have been down that path. All the upgrades help, a little, but are not worth the cost, and they are virtually a complete loss when you resell it. If you really "must" upgrade a rega arm on your current table, better to get the best Origin Live a... | |
| The Worst Performance Ever - Really could not get through it. don't think anyone really like Sutch at the time, I didn't know anyone who did. Notice that no one in the audience is dancing or doing anything except waiting for it to be over. agree about the lame Who superbowl show. Ex... | |
| Norah Jones Tostados, perhaps you understand the words, but miss the meaning, of Shubert's quote. It means, "settling for second best." The phrase is usually trotted out in the context of aspirations to achieve greatness. | |
| Best Band of the Big Band Era ? Artie Shaw | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? I tried several different upgrade fuses in my tube amp. I thought they sounded, "better" at the time, but when the fuse in one channel blew, I replaced it with the stock fuse. Could not tell any difference between the two channels. Fuse in other c... | |
| worse entertainer or performer of all time?? Whitney Houston's music is generally unlistenable, but her version of the Star Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl, during the Gulf War, was great. Yoko gets my vote for absolute worst, because a. whatever it was she was doing, it was not music; and... |
