| classical sampler? Consider browsing through the Naxos online catalog for some of their CDs with multiple composers and works, such as "Orchestral Favourites" 8.554066 (which might be a good starting point) and "Chamber Music Favourites" 8.554429http://www.naxos.com... | |

| I finally bought a record cleaning machine $ Cmo, one additional thought about some of the noise, and this may not be "politically correct" to comment on: my experience has been that turntable systems ('table, arm and cartridge) are very different with respect to the amount of background noi... | |

| What is the Best Amp to match with CJ ART?? Hi Frank, I was referring to the C-J 8 and and 12 amps in my comments about "relaxed beauty of sound" (and by that I don't mean that traditional "tubey" sound - just the antithesis of the hard analytical sound some tube manufacturers have strived ... | |
| What is the Best Amp to match with CJ ART?? Ditto the congratulations! The CJ amps would be a nice match, but also consider the Atma-Sphere MA-1 OTLs or CAT JL-2. For relaxed beauty of sound, the CJ's are hard to beat. The A-S will give a more articulate, quick and neutral sound with higher... | |

| CAT SL-1 Ultim. Mk2 vs Manley Steel. for CAT JL-2 Schorly, just for clarification, the Aestheitx Io inserts the volume control and single high level input in front of the last gain stage. The Io was designed by Jim White to directly drive an amp to full output. So, it has an active "line stage," ... | |

| Best Classical Music for Sonus Faber Stradivari Many of the Mercury CD reissues are very good. And, take a look at this thread about the Naxos recordings (which are very modestly priced) and pay particular attention to the recommendations from Texasdave. The Naxos catalog has some great recordi... | |
