| Ascend Sierra's or Energy Veritas 2.2i I actually have the A-88T as well and I'm close to in the same boat as you. I am looking at the Sierra-1, VMPS QSO 626 and the Silverline Minuet. I'll have to look up the 2.2i. I notice you posted awhile back. Did you ever decide? I'd love to hear... | |
| Yaqin MC-100B or Cayin A-88T - first tube amp Beavis:Your link does not work for me.Magnumpi205:I've checked out the Pacific Valve website. I am not sure I found the specific amplifier you were directing me to but I am very interested in the Ming Da MC 34AB 07. It seems to be a very good valu... | |
| Phono Pre for Grado Statement Reference 0.5mV Thanks for the replies!I am actually just getting into vinyl. The turntable would be a VPI Scoutmaster. I am looking at pairing the Grado with either the Wright WPP-200C or the Quicksilver phono at the moment. Both are less than a thousand and are... | |

| Freak Me Out Here's another: Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima by Krzysztof Penderecki. The 1994 recording with the Polish Radio National Symphony Orchestra is the best interpretation I've heard yet.One of the most chilling pieces of music ever composed IMO. | |

| Freak Me Out Try Bass Communion - a sub-project of Porcupine Tree's front-man Steve Wilson. | |
| Break in period for albums.? I have that experience often. A "so-so" reaction to the mood of the music, what it is trying to "be" or convey to the listener, etc. is either because I don't understand it (or "feel" it) at first and may take some repeated listening for me to app... | |
