| 2k budget for Amp Jaymark - Yes! First 20 are class A. Perhaps that's why it sounds so terrific (smooth). First 10 are Class A in the 350, which is why I recommend the 550. Maybe don't need 250+ watts, but 20 Class A watts are well appreciated. | |
| 2k budget for Amp Would you mind a powerful (+250wpc), great sounding, U.S.-built, well-built, trouble free amp from a well-established company which has terrific customer service, one whose owner often answers the phone, and runs Class A for the first 20 watts? If... | |

| whats the finest recorded cd you've heard? "Sahib Shihab and the Danish Radio Jazz Group". Superb sonics and engaging jazz. Better than "Jazz at the Yawnshop". | |
| Top Jazz Albums of 2008 Sahib Shihab and the Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra is a must. Terrific music and top notch recording. Heat and shape your copy of "Jazz at the Pawn Shop" into an ash tray and replace it with this gem. Similar audio quality but with way better music. | |

| First Trip outside of Best Buy, a real newbie. If it does not sound good at reasonably low volume (you can talk to your wife without raising your voice) then walk away.Baloney! I don't agree with that myth and am tired of hearing it. You'll be missing out on many wonderful speakers that don't ... | |
| First Trip outside of Best Buy, a real newbie. For someone starting out I would tell them:1. Cost does not always equate to quality.2.

| John Martyn RIP It'll be "Bless the Weather" and "Solid Air" for me tonight. | |

| CD's you bring for auditioning Only one CD, 15 tracks. A compilation of very familiar and different types of music with different enough styles to experience either the magic or uncover the warts. Track list (track numbers in parenthesis):1. Maria Kliegel - Bach Cello Suites (1... | |
| Best Diana Krall album...........is??? My two favs are: "Live in Paris" - sounds like you're attending one of her concerts sitting in the front row, excellent live recording, plus "A Case of You" is one of my all-time favorite songs; and "All For You" - love Nat King Cole's music, and ... | |
| Best of Brian Auger's Oblivion Express on CD? Picked up the "remastered" (whenever that was) version. Awesome sound. Don't know if it is any different than original release on Polygram. But Chronicles release is damn fine. Thanks guys. |
