| 12ax7's to roll I second the Ei 12AX7 suggestion. The older Ei's, with the white lettering are the ticket. FWIW, I am currently using a pair with a CAL Alpha, and I prefer them to NOS GE 5751 that cost a lot more $$. I may be mistaken, but I think Ei is still in ... | |
| Jazz vocals recommendations please Many great suggestions. I would add Karrin Allyson to the list, she is really top-notch. | |
| Great speakers for a small room Look here. You will be knocked out, and have a lot of $$ left over:http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrmoni&1261514382&/Morel-(Rennaissance)-Duet-shor | |
| The best small bookshelf speaker you ever heard? Renaissance Piccolo | |
| Most Peaceful Music you've Heard or Own Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden "Missouri Sky," Antonio Forcione and Charlie Haden "Heartplay," Richard Stoltzman "Begin Sweet World" and "Dreams," Enrico Pieranunzi "Ballads," Charlie Haden and Kenny Barron "Nightfall," Charlie Haden and Gonzalo Ru... | |
| Great old speakers that are as good as new ones ADS 1290 | |
| Morel Octave/Octwin speakers, anyone? Mikhael at www.theaudiostudio.com.I own several pairs of Mikhael's speakers and they are outstanding. He now sells his speakers under the Renaissance name. | |
| Audio Alchemy DLC With all due respect to Narrod, I have also owned both units, and, to my ears anyway (and in my system), the DLC is a much better-sounding unit. No competition, really. For what the DLC is selling for these days-typically well under $300-I think i... | |
| Berensford DAC I have a Beresford (TC-7510, not the newer model with usb) and, IMHO, it is a great value for the money. Solidly built, nice, detailed sound, and the inputs, outputs and volume control make for a lot of flexibility in a system. Also has a headphon... | |
| How about an accordion thread? Myron Floren, Flaco Jiminez, Clifton Chenier. Different styles, great stuff. | |
| Looking for great violin CDs in solo. Another nod for Hilary Hahn. Check out Anne Sophie Mutter also. | |
| A Tribute to the Sequerra MET 7 The diversity of opinion re. these speakers is fascinating. I own a pair of the early version with the metal grills. I use them for nearfield listening with my computer, with a Nuforce Icon integrated amp, and I think they sound fantastic. I have ... | |
| Coltrane's A Love Supreme and Davis's Kind of Blue I second Bill Evans "Waltz for Debby" and would add "Live at the Village Vanguard," part of the same series of concerts. | |
| Looking for some Art Pepper recommendations Many good choices. I second Winter Moon. If you haven't read his biography, "Straight Life", you really should. | |
| Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far Van Morrison just released Astral Weeks Live at the Hollywood Bowl. I picked it up on CD and vinyl, but haven't gotten to the vinyl yet. Vinyl has an extra track. Great performance and well worth checking out. |
