Name your favorite sax solo.
Cannonball Adderley on the Nancy Wilson Album of 1962--the song, "Can't Get Started". One of the best ever solos. It is stylistically similar to the Charlie Parker works of a half a decade earlier. Certainly Cannonball was, as all artists must be,... 
With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you
IMHO,The Avalons can't compare with Sound Labs or MBL. What speakers have those on this site heard, actually heard, to make the statements they have made? Those of us who have encountered the "Best of the Best", realize that there are but a handfu... 
Most agreed upon best speaker?
Let's see...just because I have the money to afford more expensive audio products--I don't love music.Submit: A 12 year old boy who listens to (read: falls asleep to Nancy Wilson, Joanie Sommers (who sang What's New with Big Band arrangements), pl... 
Integrated Help
I'll take flak for this even though I am no longer associated with LSA Group;The LSA Integrated is REALLY GOOD for the money...especially used! 
Most agreed upon best speaker?
No one mentions MBL much, probably because they have limited appeal, due to price. But they are truly remarkable loudspeakers. If I could, that's still my fantasy speaker. Anyone here heard the Magico 5's that Valin has waxed poetic about for a mo... 
Best Diana Krall album...........is???
Chasas 1 The Jane Monheit thing disappoints me. She is so incredibly georgous, (think "I can't dance" with Buble, the video)I thought I'd love her. But, alas, don't like her phrasing or much else. Music selection is iffy too.Now, Kent!!!! She's no...

What components are manufactured in the U.S.A.?
Ellery911,Perhaps you could elaborate on:"I'm sorry that your products don't seem to be on the list." 
Best Diana Krall album...........is???
Stacy Kent is a remarkable vocalist, I agree.Well, as to comparisons, they're inevitable, even if they are unfair. Unlike comparing mythical ballplayers that 'I saw in the '20's and' '30's' as grampa would say, these performers ARE in their primes... 
Modern day female jazz recommendations
To call some of these people Jazz performers stretches my definition a little. Don't get me wrong, I love virtually all of them, if not their music, but I'd have to say that when I think of Jazz female vocalists, Ella comes to mind, Sassy Sarah, B... 
rookie drunk move
Tholt, GREAT IDEA,Jim Gandolfini, an old customer of mine could do public service announcements'..."Youse knows men,This holiday season, a lot of you will be tempted to just have one more and then climb in to the 'wire management seat' or the 'tub... 
The day the music died.
Tom,That's the cut we listened to--the producer speaking that disembodied voice from the other room, in different 'air space'...Plus, some idiot engineer forgot to turn on the magic 'effects buttons and knobs' and Buddy had to sing it without laye... 
rookie drunk move
I remember a mishap with trying to change some tubes once in an Avatar amplifier while enjoying the "grape"...never again.The only good news was..."Everyone Lived". 
With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you
A quick scan didn't show any Sound Labs mentioned. For that kind of money, if you have the room (partly a wifely funcion), I would at least make the time to hear the equivalent of the A-3 Sound Labs.They are remarkably clean, fast and have complet...

Ellery911, sorry I didn't understand your post...
