| Which artists' music do you buy without audition Any pipe organ works on vintage vinyl played by E. Power Biggs in good condition for $5 or less. | |
| Three best audiophile CD/LP in your collection I'll toss the pipe organ version of "Pictures at an Exhibition" on Dorian CD in the pot mainly for its depth plumbing low pipe organ vibes.I have a few old E. Power Biggs recordings on Columbia Masterworks vinyl that are also quit good in a simila... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons Rebbi, if it's any consolation, Vegas was only giving you small odds of sticking with the long shot LSAs. Vegas odds on you are running significantly higher regarding the Merlins! These seem to be a big hit with many! | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons Hi Rebbi.You gotta tell us what aspect of the sound you think you are missing still or can do better with that attracts you towards the Merlins?I am off the opinion still that no mini monitor can do it all at a realistic scale. Add a good sub, the... | |

| Amp recommendation for Anthony Gallo Reference 3.1 I think the more watts and current the merrier with those.I'd go straight for a good Class D amp like Wyred 4 Sound or Bel Canto for those and most likely never look back. | |
| John Lennon Accoustic lp? Isn't it on Lennon's "Plastic Ono Band" album?That has been out for years on both lp and CD and is regarded by many as Lennon's finest solo lp. | |
| Advice Please...H/K or NAD? Keep the one that sounds better to you. | |
| Small-ish Speakers That Come Alive At Low Volume Many Triangle's starting with the tiny Titus XS are exceptional in this area.Frankly, I would expect most speakers to do very well at all volumes with an amp like that, but the Triangles are exceptional in this area if that is what you are looking... | |
