| Best path to test different interconnects? I know what you mean but do not know the 'answer'I suggest hook them up and try to forget about them for a few weeks and the sonic signature will present itself. | |
| dedicated cd player or dvd-cd I love my Muse model 9 sig3 DVD and CD both sound amazing and the picture is superb. You could probably pick one up for under $1000. | |
| Tube Integragrated w/ Phono what speakers and how much can you spend?I like Audio Note, any integrated they sell is quite good | |
| Passive sub for Magnepan 3.6r? I wonder what amp you are using Loomis? Throw a ton of current at the Maggies and then listen to the bass. Also pull them out from the back wall about 7ft (no kidding) the bass integrate with the midrange so much better. | |
| My speakers sound like crap with Arcam Amp? it just shows to go you - system matching is everything - in my book at least this is one thing I have learned... | |
| David Brubeck Take:50 Montreal Jazz Fest I saw him last year at the Detroit Jazz Fest and there is something so right about his music - a fundamental quality that has endured all these years.I would see him again in a heartbeat. | |
| jazz/blues piano players surprisingly Nina Simone - though her music is mostly vocals of coursealso Mary Lou Williams | |
| Audio Research Sp-6a-Should it be modified? it may have a similar circuit as the SP3 (I do not know) but the SP6 is way more neutral and extended - if a bit dry (compared to the carmel colored SP3)... | |
| Audio Research Sp-6a-Should it be modified? it depends on the price and the level of performance upgrade. The 6a is pretty good without an upgrade, maybe the money should be put elsewhere... | |

| What do you think about Magnepans 3.6R for me agreed that the room size for the 3.6 is great, especially if they can be put out into the room 5-7 feet. I used to have the 1.6 Maggie with a Rogue 120M amp (120 watt 6550 monoblock) and it had terrific tone but was not very lively, it just kind ... | |
| What do you think about Magnepans 3.6R for me it will sound nice but lack dynamic range - for a room that big especially | |
| Edgy Trip Hop Recommendations Portishead Dummy is the granddaddy if you do not already have it. Mr Scruff aint bad. | |
| Music or Lyrics? if its Joni Mitchel, Jimi Hendrix, Lou Reed or Tom Waits (all poets IMO) for instance, I listen to lyrics but in most cases I prefer not to have vocals at all. The sound of vocals is often intrusive for me... | |
| Best intro to tube integrateds? there are a lot of them out there. If you need more power try a Manley Stingray otherwise go for the Audio Note Soro SE. I would give the nod to the Soro for best sound but the Stingray has more power, both really excellent. |
