| Magico vs the world Appearance is part of build quality. Outside of how they sound, Magico designs their speakers to stylishly fit into a rooms decor in a restrained manner as possible for something that size. To my mind many, if not most, other floor standing speake... | |
| what's your opinion on the magazine 'stereo review'?? What a blast from the past. I had subscriptions to High Fidelity, Stereo Review, and Audio way back when and enjoyed reading each one of them when they arrived. That's how I learned what little I know about stereo equipment. The record reviews wer... | |
| Separates or Integrated? What makes more sense? Millercarbon, what is it about the Raven Reflection MkII integrated amp you like so well above others in it's price range? It is sharp looking and made in America, but what else in terms of audio performance strikes your fancy? Mike | |

| Badly recorded albums needing upgrading Tablejockey, man, they want $500 for the copy of Layla you provided a link to at Better Records. I do all right financially, but not to that degree. The Japanese SHM SACD that arrived yesterday will have to do. "Little Wing" is really good as you ... | |
| Badly recorded albums needing upgrading Jond, we’ve similar tastes in jazz. I’ve all the Miles Davis albums you listed except the Collectors Items. The ones I have on CD aren’t K2 issues. They’re only identified as RVG remasters on Prestige. The Monk Plays Duke Ellington is similarly id... | |
