| Shuguang Treasure tubes.... "Well after 100 plus hours on the New CV181-z. I think they went to soft for me.With respect and admiration for all those suggesting patience, the tube will not double back after it softens from break-in. | |
| Best bourbon? I just finished my first bottle of Makers 46 and find it much more complex, and flavorful than Makers Mark. If you are unimpressed with Makers Mark, and have little interest in Makers 46 because youve heard that its regular Makers Mark, giv... | |
| What the heck is bias anyway? "Lets say for max power the current needs to swing plus and minus 40 mA from the bias point. If the bias current is set too low (say 30 mA) then it won't be able to make a full swing down since it wants to go down 40 but will hit zero and clip bef... | |
| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? "But these times are gone, what we have now is the attitude, but neither the pain, nor the cojones. Detlof, your point is very well made. Thats why, now-a-days, the best jazz is coming out of Eastern Europe, IMO. | |

| What stand mount monitors works w/ Pass XA 30.5? There are two pairs of JM Lab Mini Utopias currently for sale on Audiogon. Theyre terrific speakers and would make an excellent pairing with your Pass amplifier, IMO. | |
| Perfect Debute Albums Lots of great debuts here. But Ill never forget the day one of my pals tossed Boston-Boston in the cassette deck. It totally dominated our cruising playlist for a long.....long..........long time. | |

| Could this be the next Frank Sinatra? Sherod, even in regards to tonality and timbre, I cant seem to hear what youre hearing. But if I did, Id be sharing it with Audiogon just like you are, and getting whacked by guys who didnt hear it. Thank you for sharing. | |
| Could this be the next Frank Sinatra? Perhaps I was overly harsh too. I guess it hit a little nerve with me. Certain iconic figures, ranging from Hitler to Jordan are used too frequently for comparisons, IMO. There are probably many established singers that Sherod could have used that... | |
| Could this be the next Frank Sinatra? Actually, I dont think this is a song that truly showcases Sinatras talent. | |
| Could this be the next Frank Sinatra? "For crying out loud, the kid is only 16. I'm referring to his distinctive voice, how very similar it is to Sinatra.No, its not. Nothing that I heard, based on your link, is even remotely reminiscent of Sinatra. With a lot of work...maybe Jim Na... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Hi Obsessalot, you’re welcome. I see that you’re a new member and that this is your second post; or as I like to think of it, your second hit of the crack pipe. I guess what I’m trying to say is: it’s not too late for you to reconsider your path a... | |
