| Higher resolution Jazz Thanks Tosta, I haven't heard the Miro but will check them out, and yes, the Guarneri had soul in spades !My faves were the Lindsay and above all the long-gone Hungarian whose Beethoven and Bartok cycles are on Vox are to die for.The Hungarian Sch... | |
| Amp recommendation for Magnepan 3.7's? Dsper, Van Alstine Synergy 450 sounds like a good modern tube amp at 2 k.His biggest FET has 300 a side at 8 ohms, plus Maggies play better with Minnesota amps LOL . | |
| IS AUDIO ART CABLES THE REAL THING I find AudioArt the best "cheap" cable not because they are so great, but because they do nothing wrong. | |
| vintage versus modern speakers You must like Triangles Larryi, I love their pleated 5" drivers . | |
| vintage versus modern speakers Bombbaywalla, I agree with much/most of what you say.To my ears though one guy who does get things right with off the wall design is Anthony Gallo.Any thoughts on him? | |
| What's your latest album purchase? Try his Christmas Album, some unreal feats on it. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Tbg, assuming you are a multi-billionare , 70 years old and live in the state having the highest tax rate which you have faithfully paid, you have paid for perhaps a mile or two . Enough for a 911 ?More likely you've bought a few hundred feet. | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? I've been to thousands. | |

| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Did you pay for the road you drive on yourself too? | |
| Importance of recapping a SS amp? Jl35, exactly right ! Time and again I've listened to systems where the owner says said amp is 18 years old and good as ever.It never is but, as you say, he's so used to the gradual decline he can't hear it. | |
| Amp recommendation for Magnepan 3.7's? Yup. people think they have heard their Maggies, well at less than 500 watts a side @ 4 omhs, stable to 2, no you haven't . | |
| What's your latest album purchase? What freaks me is to hear Mel instantly fill in an error from a player with his voice with the same harmonics and pitch of the player.I have no doubt, leaving vocals aside,that Mel was the finest pure musician of all jazz vocalists. | |
