| Affordable SS that sound like Tubes Don't know what your budget is but a Wells Audio Majestic integrated might do the trick: List is 4K. If you contact Mike Wells he may be able to send you a demo unit to try at home. http://www.wellsaudio.com/majestic | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 Yes -- I’m familiar with Goshen but had no idea it was the birthplace of a well known Jazz pianist. My grandparents lived for a long time in Slingerlands, outside of Albany-- we made many trips up and down the Thruway when I was a kid!... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 You are fortunate! I grew up in Middletown, NY (Orange County), so we visited NYC quite a bit when I was a kid, both my parents having been born in Brooklyn. And there were quite a few school field-trips down there, as well. Not to J... | |

| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing @jjss49 So when can we expect to dee your detailed comments assessing the sonic attributes/deficiencies of each unit on your list? ;o) | |
| Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint @larsman No worries! | |
| Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint @charles1dad Smart! When we built our current house, I’d just barely tipped my toe into audio and regrettably, didn’t give much thought to it when we were in the design phase. I seem to have lucked out, though. Despite the fact that the living r... | |
| Audio people you've had contact with that proved to be good people. @toro3 Rob Fritz seems genuinely nice. I’d probably purchase more of his cables - even if they didn’t sound nice (they sound great btw), simply out of principle of him seeming to be a solid guy. I wholeheartedly agree on all points! |
