| Preamp to Match Odyssey Stratos Check ot the Blue Circle BC-21. | |
| Stands Target R2, Atlantis Ref 21 Or.? You can't do much better than the Osiris Stands. They list for $479. However, since they are no longer in production, you can get them for $379(?) at Audio Odyssey. | |
| Ringing heatsinks Doug Blakburn's Soundstage.com review of the Belles Hot Rod 150A speaks about your exact problem. He used the Cromolin VC Damping material. Soundstage.com also has a review of the Cromolin material. It may be worth a look. | |
| Jazz Recommendations I could not agree more, Redkiwi. Sometimes I yearn to hear the slow, mournful burn of Ben Webster. Other times I want to hear the power and energy of Clifford Brown. Kadlec is the envious position of discovering the music that we have loved and en... | |
| Jazz Recommendations Out of all the great artist listed, there is one glaring omission. Ben Webster!! The sonics of his recordings are not the best, but no one phrases like he does. Sometimes when I'm listening to him play, I swear that his sax is going to sing!! His ... | |
| Jazz Recommendations Like most of the posters here, it's very difficult to rate the "young lions". As mentioned before, they get the technical aspect right but seem to lack emotion. With one notable exception, Joshua Redman. What sets Joshua aside from his contemporar... | |
| Jazz Recommendations This is good stuff! Sdcampbell is on point with his list. There is nothing more to add. However, I would recommend that you get the latest edition of "The Penguin Guide To Jazz On CD, LP, & Cassette". You must have this book handy. | |
| New Sade Album I recently saw a 1/2 hour interview with Sade on one of the music shows. She said that it was her intention NOT to have the new album, "Lovers Rock", sound as detailed and pristine as her albums of the past. She wanted a more rough and textured fe... | |
| Best Bookshelf Speakers Carl, where can I find a review of the Norwex B-2 on the net? Have you listened to the Coincident Triumph Signature? If so, how would you rate the two speakers, based on your initial impression of the Norwex? | |
| Tip: Excellent Jazz CD's Tom, Dmitri Matheny on Flugelhorn, Darrel Grant on piano, and Bill Douglass on Bass. For a live recording, the sonics are good. There are moments, when it gets very good, that you forget it's live. This is just one of the very few "recent" recordi... | |
| Tip: Excellent Jazz CD's Brad Mehldau also appears on Joshua Redman's "Timeless Tales". Here is a "live" trio set that you may enjoy, Dmitri Matheny's "Starlight Cafe". Dmitri does a nice job on Flugelhorn. It's soft, but not syrupy. | |
| ~$1k Monitors...So Many Choices... Two monitors come to mind: Coincident Triumph Signature for $1095 and the JM Reynaud Twin Mk II for $750. Figuy uses the JMR Twins with the AR Complete and he loves them. Check these out. | |
| Tip: Excellent Jazz CD's Trcnet, if you really enjoy Brad Mehldau, check out his work with Joshua Redman. These are two of the most exciting "new" artist out there. | |
| Tip: Excellent Jazz CD's Thanks for the tip. Add these: Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong (ELLA and LOUIS)Verve Master Edition. This will blow you away! Charles Lloyd (The Water is Wide) ECM. The 1st track, Georgia, is worth the price of admission alone. Shelly Manne &a... | |
| $1k speakers / Audio Refinement Complete Figuy, let me know what your thoughts are on the Reynaud Twin Mk.II. I've been considering them for a second system. |
