| Best Amplifier for Dynaudio Contour 3.3s? The Dyns need a lot of juice to make them sing. I use a Plinius SA 250 MkIV (450 watts per channel-4 ohms) with my 3.3's. I am very pleased with the full dynamic range of sound, exceptional bass and it's realistic three-dimensional soundstage with... | |
| Wife stepping on speaker wire It's time to trade her in for an audiophile upgrade. I don't know what your budget is, but FIM Gold speaker cables look like 2 inch thick snakes. | |
| Best Blues Rock recommendations? Buddy Guy - How could I forget Buddy Guy's "Damn Right I Got The Blues" This is a good Buddy Guy cd to begin with. Derek & The Dominos: Layla and Other Love Songs. This cd features some amazing blues guitar riffs between Eric Clapton and Duane... | |

| Bob Dylan, Keith Richards & Tom Waits: A cappella Rumor has it, that he threatened to pull his hair out if he couldn't. | |
| Pass Labs or Audio Research Solid State Amplifiers Bryston is affordable and probably very good with hard rock. Plinius have great bass, but needs to be paired with a good preamp. The Audio Research tube preamps sound great with the Plinius amps. | |
| Music recommendations, please Emmanuel Pahud with the Berlin Baroque Soloists performing Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No 5, on the EMI Label is excellent in its' perfomance and recording quality. On the Chesky Records label, Mozart's The Flute Quartets, and Quartet for Oboe and... | |
| Pick your favorite, and tell me why... Yes, it is a classic. There's a compilation cd called Saxophone Anthology on BMG (RCA Victor) label. It's not an audiophile quality recording, but it gives you a great variation of sax players such as:Sidney Bechet, Benny Carter, Paul Desmond/Gerr... | |
| Pick your favorite, and tell me why... Coleman Hawkins encounters Ben Webster (Verve Master Edition) with Oscar Peterson, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown and Alvin Stoller. You want blues/jazz, this 1957 recorded cd is what it's all about! |
