| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! KISS ... oy, what crap (IMO). | |
| Van Alstine SS vs. McCormack DNA amps Gra3 - Fan boy? Very presumptuous of you. Just giving my experience. True, my experiences are not exactly as OP requested, but are related since I owned a current AVA product, and also in response to your post about AVA build quality and service. ... | |
| Does Newly Soldered Cables Require Run-In? Ditto, but after a couple of weeks if sound is still worse than before you had them reterminated the issue could be poor soldering job or moving to banana plugs from what you had before (spades? bare?). From reading opinions (unreliable) it seems ... | |
| Salk Speakers - Opinions & Advice? HT3s - Bold, accurate, dynamic. Amazing sound when playing well recorded material. More neutral than cool IMO. | |
| Van Alstine SS vs. McCormack DNA amps I've owned AVA Fet Valve Ultra 550 and it was a very good amp: sounded great; very powerful; built very well; and extraordinary customer service.Gra3: "MUCH better build quality". Were you speaking strictly about more expensive/exotic parts or did... | |
| options for highly compressed CDs? Tubes (EL34) + room treatment (if too lively or have any slap echo, and at least treat first reflection points) + Cardas Cross/ Golden Cross cables + baffle edge anti-diffraction device (as sold by Jim Goulding) + CD treatment (such as Le Art du S... | |

| Which artists' music do you buy without audition Ever since I could sample on line, nobody. Not even my favorite artists, regardless of reviews. If I cannot sample it, I don't buy it. | |
| More female vocals Cecilia Bartoli: "Maria"; "The Impatient Lover: Italian Songs"Tierney Sutton: "Blue in Green"; "Desire"Kelly Flint, but only during her stint with Dave's True Story: "Sex Without Bodies"; "Nature" | |

| Interconnects for Bryston BCD-1 & B60R combo Correction: Best ICs I've heard in my system are Kimber KS 1011. Not just best copper ICs, though they are all copper. | |
| GIK vs. Real Traps? Only have ever had GIK - great product, price, and service. | |
| Any Good Howlin Wolf CDs My fav: "The Real Folk Blues" | |
| Anita O'Day? My favs are: "Sings the Most" (with Oscar Peterson Quartet); "Cool Heat"; and "Verve Jazz Masters 49". And "Jazz on a Summer's Day" is a fabulous DVD (except WAY too much Dixieland). | |
