| I can't understand what Clark "Mumbles" Terry says Oscar Peterson, "+ One", great release. | |
| Do you remember your first cd? Charles Brown, "One More for the Road". | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? +1 Mapletree Audio 2A/SE Linestage Preamp. Doubt I'll ever give it up. | |
| hybrid solid state amps Van Alstine's FET Valve amps. Well built, relatively inexpensive, very good sound, great service:http://www.avahifi.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=108&Itemid=210I owned the FET Valve Ultra 550 for a while before I wen... | |
| Which Nat King Cole? No strings in "Live at the Circle Room", but not a "high" quality reissue. | |
| Which Nat King Cole? For best music I prefer "Live at the Circle Room", recorded 1946, though sound quality is not good. But the music is so good I can't help myself. I mean, with lyrics like, "Honey let bygones, be bygones; or I'll punch a hole in your nylons", what'... | |
| Thiel 3.6 to Eggleston Andras II I've not made the move, nor do I have Andras, but next smaller size - Fontaines (exact same top three drivers, just no woofer). About them I can assure you they very capably reproduce truthful timbre with transparency like no other speaker I've he... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? My CD-based system got it. Each step was an improvement towards reproducing the soul of the music. Long, arduous journey, wading through lots of audio BS. For my system, it turned out to be tubes everywhere, even in the CDP. NOS tubes. And the mos... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE After many auditions it's looking like my first good pair of speakers, EgglestonWorks Fontaines, are staying. Just cannot dethrone them. | |
| turning my system on during lightning storms Lightening striking and travelling along a ground wire into the house can easily bypass surge protector. This is above and beyond a "surge". | |
| Best Keith Jarrett records Jasmine is wonderful! Some of the most emotionally beautiful music I've heard. | |
| Ultralinear vs. Triode vs. SET All great information, but not all of it true for all SETs. I love my speakers (87dB) and did not wish to give them up, but did wish to try a true SET. Thankfully, Audio Mirror 45 Watt SET amps are true SETs, yet very powerful, and not lacking fre... | |
| Ultralinear vs. Triode vs. SET If your Cronus already provides enough power for you (55 watts?) and you wish to try SET, get Audio Mirror 45 watt SET monoblocks. Nearly the same power as your Cronus, but SET! Glorious amps. | |
| WLM Diva Monitor -- Personal Experience? Northern3light - Have you tried this method for running them in: wire them out of phase with one another, put them together face to face, cover them with a heavy blanket, and then turn up the volume. I've never needed to try this, but I've read th... | |
| Best Keith Jarrett records WARNING - Don't buy too many at once if you are sensitive to performers moaning unmusically on their recordings. By unmisically I mean nowhere near the key they're playing nor in time of the music. Just random, dissonent vocal moaning. It adds no ... |
