| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century Johnny Hartman has already been mentioned. He is one of the best ever. A relative new singer is Kevin Mahogany. He is a modern day Johnny Hartman. Stunning. However, no one, I mean no one, phrases a song the way Little Jimmy Scott did! Until you h... | |
| Music Fidelity or Adcom I've owned Adcom amps as well as Musical Fidelity (A300). Although Adcom has gotten better, they are still a bit dry sounding. I used the A300 with B&W 805's. Not bad at all. The A300 sells for $1495. If you are willing to stretch your budget ... | |
| The Best Audio Dealer Carl, you have made me feel so much better about my experience with Overture. You are right, I guess, getting screwed a little bit is much better than getting screwed a lot. I do consider myself lucky! | |
| The Best Audio Dealer Terry is the president and owner of Overture. 1.) He sold me a Levinson 27.5 at a "discount" price. The then new, and better, 331 arrived at his place days later at an even lower price than the "discounted" older version. He claims it slipped his ... | |
| The Best Audio Dealer John of Audio Odyssey in Highland Park, NJ was great to deal with. Frank of Soundex in Willowgrove,PA is also excellent. Frank has a terrible memory, but this can also work in your favor. Stay away from Terry Menacker and Overture of Delaware! I d... | |
| Best audio mag Of course, like everyone else, I've been reading Stereophile over the years, but times are changing. The Absolute Sound and Listener Magazine are moving to the front of the class. Back to Stereophile, I've learned to tolerate J-10, but who wants t... | |
| Sound without the Preamp ? When I bought my first CD player with a volume control (CAL CL-15) I decided to try it feeding directly into my CJ amp. That was two years ago and I still don't use a pre-amp. It works for me and judging from the previous comments, I'm not alone. | |
| Best Interconnects for under $300 pair Alpha-Core Micro Purl without hesitation. I was using the Transparent Ultra XL which cost $900/meter. On the advice (pleading) of an audiophile friend, I put in the Micro Purl just to shut him up. I sold the Transparent Ultra XL right here on Audi... | |
| Conrad Johnson expert wanted!!! First things first; do you want a tube amp AND a pre-amp? I love CJ equipment, but that may be overload on the "CJ sound". The MV55 is a great amp and the PV12 is special. If CJ is a must, try mating the MV55 w/the CJ PFR pre-amp. It's solid state... |
