| Favorite Pianists For the life of me, I don't understand why Fred Hersch is seldom, if ever, mentioned in the same light as the above artists. So I'm doing it; Ha! | |
| Favorite Pianists Additionally: Gene Harris... always gets my toes-a-tappin | |
| Music you HATE the most but once you LOVED it Man, I probably wore out at least 5 Cat Stevens albums; and by wore out, I mean I smoothed them grooves. Now, maybe a couple of times a year I'll toss in "Tea for the Tillerman" if I'm feeling kind of nostalgic or something. Out of nothing more th... | |
| New To Tubes Advice Needed I am a huge advocate of tube rolling for the simple reason that, by doing so, I have realized sonic improvements on a par with major equipment upgrades, albeit with NOSs (not cheap). But it's not as simple as reading a review and making a switch. ... | |
| Int. Amp. to drive sonus faber minima vintage The Pathos is a nice amp and might serve your needs. I am concerned with the speaker's sensitivity rating of only 84db. I took a glance and couldn't find anything more specific about their impedance than the 8 Ohm specification; I would like to se... | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. While I was pecking away on my keyboard, Tvad, once again, was out in front and, as usual, more eloquent. | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. Rrog and Rleff,Perhaps I could have worded it better. All I was trying to say is that, in trying to describe a tube amplifiers sound, it is not unheard of for someone to state that a particular tube amplifier's sound has more in common with solid ... | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. I've been reading these posts thinking that eventually, I'd get a better handle on your question. That's not meant to be a put-down; there are just different ways that I can interpret your question. If I interpret it literally, the answer is easy ... | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. "This would be a good time to let people know that you are a dealer." Not that he needs my help, but I have to throw in with Audiofeil on this one. In addition to the reasons already mentioned, Audiofeil has served as nothing less than Audiogon's ... | |
| Remember the Electric Light Orchestra I love ELO. If you bicycle, I highly recommend them for your iPod. Lots of fun! | |
| How do you guys choose between CD releases? "what about the quality of the "reviewer?" and what if they are just listening to snidbits over their mp3 players."Good point Oakleys, especially since I frequently rely on Amazon reviewers. I know quite a few people who listen exclusively on what... | |
| $4000 to Spend on Amp, Preamp and USB DAC Will you consider an integrated amp? IMO, an integrated can net you the greatest bang for the buck at your price point. There is a Underwood modified LSA currently for sale that might take you to your dimension of preference. | |
| How do you guys choose between CD releases? "Soon, there will be blu-ray versions of some cd's and those will, in most cases, sound much better then any of the cd releases."I realize that given just how rapidly digital technology is changing, that this is probably a question more appropriat... | |
| How do you guys choose between CD releases? The tone of my thread takes it for granted that there is a difference between reissues. That probably should have been my first question. Is this something that I should even be concerned about? | |
| DCCA or Shunyata help? I was initially looking to spend about $1000. Sam, but it's not a hard target. It's just the point where any expenditure beyond, will have to result in an audio epiphany like experience relative to any lesser expenditure. |
