| Best Sax Jazz My favourite is Dexter Gordon's "Our Man in Paris". Sonny Rollins first Blue Note album is a close second (I forget the name ... I think it may just be called Sonny Rollins).I have never liked Coltrane ... just not my thing.You've got to have a Ge... | |
| Blues instrumentals? I'm not sure you can have blues without lyrics ... blues have to tell a story. That said some of my fav. blues are early Robert Cray (particularly Bad Influence and False Accusations) and Snooks Eaglin (Teasin You has an up to date sound).Snooks d... | |
| Connecting a sub to amp pre-amp outs? Stehno is correct. I would hook up exactly as he describes. | |
| Should I go for sub-woofer or new speakers? I think you have to demo to find out which you prefer. I added a Rel Strata to my system and it's the best upgrade I ever made. Music has much more impact, venues have real scale. However, even used it was $800 which is a lot of money .. if you ad... | |
| Review: Krell FPB-200 Amplifier Zaikesman ... I hear what you're saying. I'm not anti globalization, because, as you point out, it is hauling a number of countries into the 21st century. However I think that the number of western companies who are using 3rd world labor with any ... | |
| Review: Krell FPB-200 Amplifier Nrchy, I applaud you for not wanting to support slave/child labor. My wife and I always try to buy American or European. Unfortunately I think that in a few years' time we will have no clothes ! | |
| Looking for spkr suggestions I'd add Epos M12 to the list if you can find somewhere to demo them. I have always thought Epos are far superior to B&W for the same money. Happy shopping ! | |
| Does copper migrate through silver? Subaruguru. Why should silver sulphide (tarnish) have a similar smell to hydrogen sulphide ? Are you suggesting that all sulphur compounds smell the same? Have you ever smelled sulphuric acid? Doesn't smell much like hydrogen sulphide. Tarnish is ... | |
| whatz up with hi-end speakers near walls? My goodness aren't we all hypersensitive today !? I think a bunch of you would do well to listen to some soothing music (with the speakers at an appropriate distance from rear walls per your manufacturer's instructions :-) ) | |
| whatz up with hi-end speakers near walls? Phasecorrect, thanks. I think it's easy to ruffle feathers when asking people why they wasted a bunch of money, even though they are perfectly within their rights to make poor purchasing decisions. Heck I wonder why people here in California buy 4... | |
| whatz up with hi-end speakers near walls? I tend to agree with Phasecorrect, although the wording was a little provocative.There are SOME designs that will work adequately near a rear wall, but I have never heard a speaker that images anywhere near its full potential when it is near to th... | |
| which headphones??? Josh .. audiolabs are very good amps, but very neutral ... I'm not sure there's much "magic" with them. I have always preferred Cyrus amps as they seem to have more of a beat. Currently my main amp is a Densen B100, and it seems to me to be better... | |
| New Speakers 1k The S3/5 does work very nicely close to a rear wall. Its limited bass and lack of port gives a very nice bass response even when placed directly on the wall. I'm not sure you can beat it. I'm not sure if the harbeth is significantly better for the... | |
| Does copper migrate through silver? COuld it have been extremely thin silver plating that has worn off with usage of the receptacle ?Also silver tarnishes (silver sulphate) ... perhaps it's just tarnish you're seeing ? I don't think copper will migrate through silver at room tempera... | |
| which headphones??? Joshcloud ... an 8Ohm speaker impedance is easier to drive for most amplifiers because it draws less current than a 4Ohm impedance, and most cheaper amps are more limited in their ability to drive current than voltage, because high current equals ... |
