| 2012 Jazz cd compilation: Down Beat magazine Rpeluso, most of the CD's I detest were recommended by Stereophile, and they had the most glowing reviews. We bought when we didn't have the option of hearing the music first. I have other CD's I don't like by my favorite artists. The only way "yo... | |
| 2012 Additions to Your Music Collection Rok2id, I caught that; maybe it's one of those versions I might like. I have "Songs for Distinque Lovers".Enjoy the music. | |
| 2012 Additions to Your Music Collection Pat Metheney & Anna Maria Jopek, "Upojenie", is one of the most incredible CD's I've ever heard; from a sonic standpoint as well as musically. | |
| Dave Brubeck...we lost a legend today As an astute jazz aficionado, it's quite apparent that his critics aren't even remotely aware of his huge body of works, including many that I have on my top jazz shelf, along with Blakey and The Messengers, plus Yusef Lateef. One can not consider... | |
| Sota Sapphire? There is one thing devotees of older TT's always forget, and that is the fact that tone arm wire "oxidizes", and this muddies the sound. If all else is OK I would replace the tone arm wire. | |
| Lyra Delos vs Grado Statement Reference low output All the Grado reviewers, and Grado devotees say the same thing about "Grado". They say "Grado got soul". Not all music "got soul". Consequently not all audiophiles need or want a "Grado". Many audiophiles are unable to hear that element in the mus... | |
| Lyra Delos vs Grado Statement Reference low output After reading reviews of the two cartridges, I believe they confirmed my opinion. The Delos reviewer's spoke glowingly about the specs, detail and everything that makes a cartridge special, but they never mentioned what kind of music they were usi... | |
| Best Amp for Klipsch La Scala Speakers? Xmas Gift Primaluna mono blocks with auto bias is the way to go, 70 watts per side. Can use EL34 or other tubes as power, plus they have AX7 and AU7 that you can substitute NOS tubes for and get an even better sound. | |
| Dave Brubeck passes While archiving my LP's to hardrive I re-discovered "Dave Brubeck". It was like running into a very old friend. He was on a 2 LP set titled "Dave Brubeck's All Time Greatest Hits". This was his quartet with Paul Desmond, on sax; Joe Morello, on dr... | |
| Lyra Delos vs Grado Statement Reference low output Grado's hum on Rega. I can't even imagine a lean Grado.When you stop and think about the question, it's not a very good question. Anyone considering a "Grado", should not even have "Lyra" on the list, and vice versa, unless they are just experimen... | |
| Lyra Delos vs Grado Statement Reference low output While I echo Tomjoe's statement in regard to musicality over hyped treble and artificiality, because I have Grado as well; I can understand why many "audiophile's" don't like Grado. "Rock", to my ears is noise. The majority of Audiophiles here, li... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly I owned a Phase Linear 4000 preamp, it was quad, and I thought it sounded good, but that was compared to "midfi" and not "high end". Once I compared it to "high end", I discovered it sounded kind of "tinney" and when I looked inside, the parts wer... | |
| EL 34 Amp Recommendations PrimaLuna prologue 6 would fit your bill. | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Using the most expensive parts does not meet the bottom line, which is profit. I've owned carver products that used engineering tricks to sound good, but used cheap parts that don't stand the test of time. | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Could you find out what kind of capacitors he uses. For that price, I want premium well known capacitors |
