Has any had experiecne with the MF 550k superchar?
I'd like to hear from someone who has used the supercharger as a supercharger also.Unfortunately, nobody seems to be knocking down the door.

Ken Burn's Jazz documentary is the most recent and definitive accounting of the history of Jazz, is it not?

Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Some of the old, more conventional, Ohm FRS line was visibly a variation of the 45 degree inward tweeter orientation theme.http://www.ohmspeakers.com/store_item_list.cfm?TYPE=CONVENTIONAL%20SPEAKERS&cart_ID=12191242340438 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Martykl,My guess is the MBLs are imaging champions for many because they are more omnidirectional on the top end than the Ohms.The Ohms use a single soft dome tweeter these days in the series 3 versions as I understand it from John Strohbeen. Thes... 
Benchmark DAC1 Pre vs. Bel Canto DAC3
The music server is a software program that can run in the background on a newer, faster desktop PC or laptop with sufficient disk storage as well. A beefier dedicated server computer is not necessarily required these days.You can connect via USB ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
At the end of the 6moons review of the Micro Walsh Talls, there is a brief section with pictures about Ohm, the company.You'll see that they work out of very humble quarters and do little advertising to keep the overhead low, make products that ar... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
A cool thing with the Ohm Walsh speakers these days is that all parts of the driver, including crossover, is inside the can. That was not the case with older Ohm Walsh speaks, like original Walsh 2s. The crossovers were mounted separately in the c... 
Musical Fidelity 550K/750K Supercharger?
Anyone??? 
Need help picking a preamp.
If a tube pre-amp piques your interest, Juicy Music pre-amps are also highly regarded by many and often come up for sale here for under $1000. These were on my recent short list as well. 
Krell or Anthem ???
I heard the Krell integrated ( ~$2500 300i I think) with CAmbridge 840 source on Focal Profile speaks a few months back at a local Tweeter (RIP) and liked what I heard.Hasn't always been the case with the Krell stuff. When I've heard Krell pieces ... 
Benchmark DAC1 Pre vs. Bel Canto DAC3
With a DAC only device like the Bel Canto, as a first step, if I were you, I would consider using a computer or laptop as the source to the DAC via USB interface.Another inexpensive option,if you already have a computer that can function as a musi... 
Who was your first
Does "Chicago" count?How about "Blood Sweat and Tears"?.Didn't a lot of folks get first exposure to some finer and more accessible elements of Jazz through these guys? 
Who was your first
Goldeneraguy,I can take or leave "Feels So Good" these days though it was a big breakthrough hit for the guy back in the 70's.The Mangione album I still own, play with some regularity and really enjoy is "Tarantella". 
Need help picking a preamp.
Classe is an excellent way to go. I'd agree with Almarg.A Musical Fidelity A3CR pre-amp used would be another good option close to that range particularly if phono is desired.Those are the ones in that price range I actually considered recently. I...
