| Jazz suggestions please Timwat hit a triple. I should go through my list as well, but I just purchased a Charlie Haden CD - "American Dream", with Brad Mehldau and Michael Brecker. Very nice, especially if you like an upright bass, so thought I would pass it on. | |
| Best Frank Zappa´s Recordings I can't believe nobody has mentioned Apostrophe! Am I the only one that thinks this is at least very near to his best work? Even the sonics are not bad on this album. | |
| Funky/fusion jazz with heavy base emphasis.... Try:Flim and the BBs (New Pants or Further Adventures of...)Yellowjackets (I like Dreamland and Club Nocturne)Chick Corea & RTF - Romantic WarriorJust a few of my "fun" discs. Hope you like them. | |
| Musical amp/pre/integrated for Maggies 1.6Qr Ake:I have never owned Maggies, but auditioned them on many occasion, and have always been impressed. My most recent experience might be very helpful.I was listening to a pair of 3.6s driven by a pair of the VTL Wotan monoblocks, with an Ayre CD p... | |
| What is a good intro to "Mahler"? I second the 2nd. One requirement - listen to it without interuption all the way through, on a date and time you will be allowed to do so.I have about 6 or 7 LP versions, but so far I prefer, as do many other Mahler fans I know, the Bernstein with... | |
| Cost efficient phono preamp recommendation I second the audible recommendation, and logistical limitations, of the Camelot Lancelot Pro. I would add that (1) customer service is outstanding from Camelot (they quickly sent me an odd-value resistor at no charge just for the asking), and (2) ... | |
| Adding A Remote to a Pre-Amp I won't give an opinion regarding feasibility or sound effect/quality, not having used it, but Audio Electronic Supply (subsidiary of Cary) offers a remote control kit for preamps for around $200. Just call or e-mail. They are great folks to work ... | |
| Phono Amp Recommendations I recommend you give the Camelot Lancelot Pro a shot. It is practically never available used, but Audio Advisor sells them for a little under $900 new. Handles MM and MC, and has a separate battery power supply.Very nice unit and a Fremer favorite... | |
| HDCD: What do you like? I agree with the Cary CD 303 recommendation. Owned one and it convinced me that HDCDs, despite some opinions to the contrary, are generally superior in sound quality. I highly, highly recommend the Rachmaninoff "Symphonic Dances" by Minnesota/Oue ... | |
| ECM1, Audio Aero Capitole, or Sim Audio Eclispe? Don't know if it helps, but at one point Soundstage reviewed the original Capitole, and I seem to recall the reviewer compared and contrasted it with his experience with the Eclipse. Good luck! | |
| What is the best tube integrated amp with remote What, no comments on the VTL IT-85? I previously owned a Rogue 99 (loved it), and have heard the Tempest, so I would be partial to it. I don't own the VTL, but I have listened to it and was very impressed. Add it to your list. I think it should ra... | |
| Musical Fidelity A300 or VTL IT 85 for Mag 1.6QR Fantastic! You all have been extremely helpful. I was able to hear the 1.6QR with the VTL at a dealer showroom, and of course I liked it (I love music, and rarely find anything that I actually don't like), but also listen enough to know that some ... | |
| BMG Music Club - new twist Sugarbrie, can you point me to the mag that did this test? I am also a member of BMG, but have used them only to purchase CDs that I am not that interested in, and would not buy but for the price. I have been concernced about the quality of the CD... | |
| Revel Salons or Studios? I only have a minute, but I have heard both. My personal opinion, being what my ears told me, since I did not buy either pair, was that the Studio is the "better" speaker. Better to me musically. Now, I did not hear them in the same room, so obvio... | |
| CD Player Recommendation? I can't recommend the Cary 303 highly enough. My experience with it (and having auditioned many, many a fine cdp) was wonderful. One of the best purchases I have made. Used price (pre 2000 model) is around $1,700. Fantastic with classical (both ch... |
