| Best Diana Krall album...........is??? "The Girl in the Next Room" is good in its own right. It is a very big departure from her other work. The all original material is a departure from her other releases which is primarily covers of jazz standards. The influence of Elvis Costello def... | |
| Tube amp recommendation What speakers will you be driving with the amp? | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps Flemke, this thread is about vocalists, not organists. | |
| Help me get the most out of my Merlin TSM MX My initial reaction was just as Burntedj's. Cardas Golden Ref speaker cable. I like the idea of the Jadis for $1900 too. That's a pretty good deal, and would likely outperform your Cayin in many ways. Cheers,Spencer | |

| Turntable on a $5k budget? Fly,I agree w/JBaussie that non-suspended high mass tables should be fine regarding footfall. I've had no troubles ever on my suspended wood floors with VPI and Nottingham non-suspended tables, and I'm confident that all the ones you mention above... | |

| "Pictures at an Exhibition" Another piano transcription that sounds great on LP is the 45rpm super analog master by Shura Cherkassky on the Nimbus label. Yeah, I love Reiner, but the Dorati/Mercury is worth owning too. I think it's available as a reissue. Cheers,Spencer | |

| How to eliminate FM RF coming thru turntable? Copper is a lot safer than lead, and would provide the same benefit. If you go this route research the term, "Faraday Cage", which is a lab quality box. The problem is that you need cables going in/out and that often corrupts the ability keep out ... | |
| Dodd Preamp Question Good tube comments above. I currently use a pair of Tungsrams,which are kind of a poor-man's Amperex. The Mullards will be warmer, too much so for my personal preference. The Dodd will let you hear the differences in each of these tubes. IMO, the ... | |
| How to eliminate FM RF coming thru turntable? mouser.com also sells cheap ferrites. | |
| How to diagnose the need for room treatment? Nice work, freak!The peaks @ 31.5hz & 80hz are probably the biggest concerns I see. In room high frequency plots tend to drop off steeply as you see, so not as surprising(at highest frequencies) as you might expect. However your overall pictur... |
