| Nice Tube Preamp for Boulder 1060 Hessec, sounds like a plan; trying different cabling. I think the synergy between amp and pre-amp is an important factor in achieving best sound; impedence matching, etc. Boulder amp and pre is a combination that is hard to beat in my listening ex... | |
| Nice Tube Preamp for Boulder 1060 I have heard the Boulder 1060 paired with the Audio Research Ref 3 and Ref 5. Both were excellent pairings. My local dealer is a Boulder, ARC dealer. Curious, what speakers are you driving? What interconnects and speaker cables? What is your sourc... | |
| How does Boulder equipment avoid obsolescence? I continue to be amazed at Boulder's track record in this regard. Other manufacturers change designs and update components slightly every few years to get you to upgrade; the exception being digital components where progress continues to be made. ... | |
| Wynton - The Only Person in Jazz Who Matters? Wynton Kelly matters to me more than Wynton Marsallis. Just my point of view. | |
| New Blue Note XRCDs Grimace - PERFECT description! "Damned RVG underwater piano". Listen to RVG remasters like Art Blakey "Moanin". Underwater piano. Lee Morgan "Candy" is a later RVG remaster with the red "EMI" label on the spine. Better but still not up to the leve... | |
| New Blue Note XRCDs Teajay is correct. That is what I hear too. I purposely did not buy the Hank Mobley CD since I already have it as a RVG remaster. I'm ordering the XRCD today. One thing I will add about the RVG remasters: the later set are MUCH better than the ear... | |

| Wilson Benesch A,C.T. & Wilson Audio Watt Puppy8 Winston50, I am a WP-8 owner. I auditioned the Wilson Sophia-2, W-B Act2, and Wilson WP-8 at my local dealer since he carries both lines. At the time I was a ProAc owner. I listen to jazz, rock, and symphonic works. The WP-8 was MUCH better than t... | |
| Wilson Sasha vs Meridian DSP 7200? Kippyy, certainly a question of personal taste but here are my experiences. I am an ARC REF / WP8 owner. I heard the Sasha yesterday with ARC REF110, LS26, Ref CD8. Excellent sounding speakers. They are a little more authoritative in the bass than... | |
| Krell Power Consumption Wrf, I just checked the Evo 402 specs and you are reading it correctly; 370 watts in STANDBY! I've owned several Krell amps (KSA and FPB series). They operate in Class-A and therefore draw an incredible amount of current and give off a lot of heat... | |

Great combination.Curious. What speaker systems are you all using? Tlg? Microstrip? Fcano? I have Wilson Sophi... | |

| CD's you bring for auditioning Herman The answer to your question is long but here it goes.First, my listening preferences are for a wide, deep soundstage with space around vocals or solo instruments. Natural sounding mid-range. Articulate bass. I am a drummer (amateur, and bad... | |

| Local dealer cuts store in half says audio is dead Sorry to hear all of the horror stories with local dealers. I live in Dallas and am fortunate to have Dallas Audio Concepts.
