| Wharfedale Denton 80th Anniversity speaker: Best stand height for them and brand?? FWIW I use a pair on 24" stands to good effect. I'm sure 26" would work as well - as Tim said if it matters to you it will depend your ears height from the floor. I measure at the tweeter. Re sound, I love the mid range of these speakers but they... | |
| Cary audio cd303t problems I suspect that your laser needs to be cleaned. Your problem is somewhat common with tubed units because the cases are ventilated to dispurse heat and that allows dust to get in very easily. I had a BAT unit and was constantly cleaning the lens. | |
| One Channel out on my Sonic Frontiers Line 1 pre-Amp Switch the tubes as suggested. If that identifies the problem you simply buy a couple of tubes on line. Buy new production tubes - they are relatively cheap and will work fine in your pre-amp. There are many sources (previously discussed and recen... | |
| Best Ways to Organize a Classical Record LP Collection ? I sort of agree with elee - I have my music divided into four groups, Orchestral, Vocal, Chamber, and solo (or two) piano music. In each group I sub-divide as needed for what ever is appropriate to me, for example usually by composer/performer/la... | |
| Any vocals that you like? Oregonpapa can speak for himself, but I doubt that he made a mistake when listing 'Etta Jones'. She is another jazz singer with a big voice. Actually I like her better than James. If you are interested I'd suggest you listen to a compilation on Hi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool (and others), I was playing a disc the other night and I though of you - not your horn but I'm sort of indiscriminate (so I'm told). Andre Previn and Thomas Stevens play a classic american songbook on DRG. This may not be more than some ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman (an others?), I just played a 'Latin Jazz' recording that I thought you might enjoy if you haven't already heard it. On the down side it did win a Grammy and it is relatively recent. Charlie Haden's (an excellent bassist IMHO) recording on... | |
| Do you like Mexican music?? Some romantic jazz = Charlie Haden's Land of the Sun with Gonzalo Rubalcaba on Verve. Great laid back stuff for late evenings. | |
| How should I install the new tubes in my stereo amplifier? Correction -1st sentence, last paragraph - 'each channel' should be 'each tube'. | |
| How should I install the new tubes in my stereo amplifier? Well I don't know how your amp works either. But I assume two things, 1) it is a pp el84 amp and you have to bias it manually. Some amps have a bias adjustment for each tube, some have one bias adjustment for all of the tubes assigned to one chann... | |
| How should I install the new tubes in my stereo amplifier? Matched pair in each channel. | |
| New Luxman DA-06 doesnt sound so great. Will it get better? Are you using a voltage converter. I assume your CDP is 100v which needs to be converted to 115v. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi O-10,I'm talking about both. How about we just call it 'musical anthropology', FWIW this is a a' defined' phrase. I guess you didn't know of its existence.Personally, I can't begin to understand how you can separate the two words when that is... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jeez, if I had known about the Grammy Award first I'd probably never have listened to it, let alone recommended it. :-) But I'm glad I did. Are you a regular member of this group? I think I have most of their recordings which I highly value BTW. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, FWIW I can hum Stravinski. :-)If you care to hear something less heard by his occasional listeners who only know him from his to Ballets, pick up 'Shadow Dances' by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra Orchestra on DG. His Tango in cut 1 is (for me... |
