| Are Japanese SHM-CD pressings worth the price difference? Got to admit I am surprised by the responses. After reading the title, I expected many to splash praise on SHMs; a number of them I've got sound better than not only redbook domestic (USA) versions, but they also crush some over-hyped high-res ver... | |
| Chicago Transit Authority I haven't been able to compare to the MOFI or a NM original, but I can say with confidence that the Rhino 180g reissue pressed at RTI in 2010 is fantastic. I've played side 1 as a demo for visitors and I've seen many jaws drop when they hear the B... | |

| What To Replace A Pair Of Lamm Ml2 Monoblocks With? Need More Power Going from ML2s to a SS amp, would be quite the change. The Dartzeel mentioned or Pass Labs are the about the only ones I'd think might satisfy you. The more likely tube contenders come in many flavors. IMHO, the best high powered option for SET l... | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations @terrapin77, could the buzzing just be a ground loop? Try a cheater plug and if that doesn't work, ask Rogue before giving up on the Magnum. Cheers.Spencer | |
| Any good experience in discovering new music via TV or movie recently ? Bosch's jazz addiction is fantastic. The TV show shows him playing jazz CDs regularly including Frank Morgan and some other lesser known stuff. The Michael Connelly books include many mentions of Bosch's penchant for vinyl jazz. The theme by Grace... | |

| Quick Question - why does there seem to be a lot of Sonus Faber Sperkaers for sale !!!! They have sold in pretty great numbers, lots of them out there. Personally, I've always admired their looks more than just about anything out there. They always make my short list and each time come in 3rd or 4th. Maybe others are going through si... | |
| New-ish to Audiogon Forums... Is it always like this? @jjss49 Great callouts! It certainly helps to consider the posters when weighing their comments.
