| Top 10 Jazz recordings ever I'm primarily a Clasical listener, of the 4k CD's and albums I own about 200 hundred are jazz, the rest classical.That said, If I had to cut down to 20 titles, one would be by Horace Silver(songs of my father) and one(any one) by Karrin Allyson | |
| Solid state amp around 2000-2500 used or new You can't bear Class A, same advice my power company gave me. | |
| Great guys to deal with in the audio industry Nicest guy I ever talked to in 40 years in audio is Louis at Omega speakers.Nicest gentleman in audio was David Hafler, RIP. | |
| Tannoy Westminister VS dc10 Instrument Grande V AMEN , to the above. | |
| Solid state amp around 2000-2500 used or new Sorry, my amp is a 450, there is no 550, my minds going. in any event its doing a great job right now letting me hear all all the lines and instruments in Brahms 3rd, something neither my Odyssety Khartago or Stratos could, sweet as they were. | |
| can a new amp amp tame my speakers? Correction, my amp is a Synergy 450 there is no 550.In any event, doing a marvelous job right now in hearing all the instruments in Brahm's 3rd, not just the big clump my Oddesy Statos gave me, sweet as it was. | |
| Solid state amp around 2000-2500 used or new big dif with snergy was hearing every line of each instrument in symphony or stingquartet which is most of what i listen to most, much more solid and tuneful base as well. | |
| Solid state amp around 2000-2500 used or new My switch from a Odyssey to a AVA Synergy 550 was a big step up. | |
| can a new amp amp tame my speakers? Try an AVA Synergy 450 or 550, a 550 did wonders for my Maggies over an Odyssey and you get 30 daysa to decide.Synergy's are a big step up from older AVA designs IMHO. | |
| Good sub $100 cartridge for Thorens TD 160 5x the price he mentioned is not a 'stretch". | |
| Need a recommendation on an interim power amp Trends Ta-10 is THE way to go, Adcoms etc sound terrible.I run Rega 3's ,not a real efficent speaker, with a TA in my bedroom, sounds fine. | |
| Is audio a kind of spiritual journey? Yes and no, if you listen to rock it is not, Jazz can be to a degree, a Bach Cantata or the Mass in B, nothing but. | |
| Thorens TD166 MK II Cartridge Recommendation A Sumiko Pearl at at around $125 is a lovely match for the Thorens arm. | |
| Tannoy Westminister VS dc10 Instrument Grande V Looks matter, Tannoy Westminsters are elegance itself. | |
| Mitsubishi Pre's and vintage tube amps Not really, can get a decent EE minimax tube pre or Dynaco modded PAS-3 for few hundred more. Right now there a dozen pres on A-Gon under 500$ thaat are better, inc, a Hafler 100 for 160 shipped. |
