| High efficiency bookshelf speakers for 300B SET I'm using Coincident Triumph Extremes with a pair of 300b 8 watts monoblocks with stunning results. I do subs but they have plenty of base on their own. | |
| Upsampling frequency adjustment in MHZS 88F player Transl,One more thing. You didn't mention if the player is new or not. If it is new, play it continuously for at least a week or more before you start to listen seriously to it. If you like it now it will sound better once broken in.There is a wri... | |
| Upsampling frequency adjustment in MHZS 88F player Hi TranslI recall the button to change upsampling on the top row of the remote marked 'kmz'sic. It had to be set before starting the cd.I used the highest sampling as it sounded best to me that way.It couldn't be changed while the player was playi... | |
| Esoteric SA-50??? Alpha3,I feel your pain!Esoteric seems to give with one hand and take away with the other.As I mentioned however,I like the over sound of every one I heard, so you'll enjoy what you settle on.My wish was for Esoteric to build a single box,VRDS-NEO... | |

| Esoteric SA-50??? Confusing,for sure,but every Esoteric (SA-60,X-05,X03SE,P05/D05,P03/D03) that I've heard sound amazing. And as you move up,they sonically sound better. | |
| Overshadowed by bandmates Hi Jaybo,I agree with you. The band kicked &%#$ because Charles surrounded himself with awesome talent.He had a keen ear,but the band, imo, outshined it's leader.Check out Miles 1991 autobiogphy.He loved to pilfer from Lloyd's band! | |
| Overshadowed by bandmates Jack Dejohnette and Keith Jarrett in the Charles Lloyd band of the late sixties. | |

| Mark Knophler; recommended music?? Hi Phijolet,I have both albums and IMO 'Sailing' may have the longer staying power.I got into the words and stories of that album.It grew on me over time.Both are great.If you're after Mark's guitar, try the soundtrack from 'Wag the Dog' which is ... |
