| Buble's interesting comments on recording Shadorne,My oldest daughter found my Robbie Williams Live (can't remember exactly) which was done in 'Albert Hall'? She immediately fell in love with him. Knowing of his 'preference' I broke the news to her...she just laughed. Dad, you're missing ... | |
| Designer Hall of Fame Greeni,Yes, there are a couple of threads honoring his memory and contributions on A'gon. Worwhile reading!Larry | |
| Buble's interesting comments on recording Well,Perhaps I didn't adequately set up the comment. I'm aware that many musicians record as a unit, as 'playing off of one another' is essential to creativity. But so few, pop, if you can call Buble pop, (I think they list him as Jazz, a stretch ... | |
| In search of the right SS integrated amp The amps you've mentioned are very, very good, to excellent.A more telling conversation would be, 'what flavor' do you look for in music.Virtually every designer will tell you that his design has 'no sound of it's own', and I'm sure they're being ... | |
| Passive Preamps The passive preamps I've tried, lack 'drive', 'dynamics', 'soundstageing'-- relative to active preamps,to such a degree that the music is, by comparison uninteresting to me. To explain...I'll never forget the first, at the time I experienced what ... | |

| SS integrated amp to drive Wilson audio sophia/WP7 LSA Statement, hybrid, tube pre, S/S power section.$11K. Very, very musical.The Wilson's are so good, they'll show off the enormous power of the amp while simultaneously showing their power handling with this beast. Winston Ma of First Impressions... | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? Trelja,Not only is the Jadis good sounding, it is great eye candy too. I really liked the separates that I had some time back. Very liquid--sweet--the Jasmine or Magnolia of audio.Larry | |
| Subs for The Thiel sub is about as good as one can get these days.The crossove point will be room dependant to some degree--in terms of trying for a 'seamless blend'beyond thinking of just the obvious roll off of the panel--plus, I'd check phase since you'... | |
| Your Best Vinyl Memory When Thomas Edison first showed me his cylinder with music on it....no seriously, that's how old I feel with the names mentioned here, versus the one I'm going to mention.Nancy Wilson and Cannonball Adderly circa 1962--the song, "The Masquerade is... | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? With the obvious conflict of interest here, I would recommend the LSA Statement at about $11K. I've had virtually everything in my listening room, from Krell to cj, to Jadis to Halcro.For my musical sensibilities, I've found nothing more musically... | |
| Jim Thiel has passed. I met Jim Thiel in 1982, while searching for a new pair of speakers. While considering a pair of Snell A1's I just wanted assurance that nothing else was around that was as good or better for the price. A new 'upstart company' from Lexington, Kent... | |
| Lead Shot Substitute for Loading Speaker Cabinets? True Tom.If anyone has the ability to find this--real wool stuffing is remarkable. It may sound strange, but in the old days, Bud Fried, (Irving M. Fried) used real wool in his IMF's and the results were outstanding. Enough so, that in developing ... | |
| Bryston 28 sst's vs Spectron Musician 3 SE ? Harking back to another post,"The MBL's" tend to be a bit dry".That was never my experience--just natural, light, airy, and fairly colorless in the dozen or so times I've heard them.Of course this is subjective, so I'll say, "To my ear." | |
| Best Diana Krall album...........is??? Righto Chashas1, I DID NOT like that album...further, think that Elvis' influence has been a negative, but then again what do I know? |
