No Krall, No Norah I fully agree with R burke.The new Madeline Peyroux is brilliant as also KD Laing - Hymns of the 49th parallel, though not jazz,both are Stereophile recordings of the month.KD Laing does an ethereal interpretation of standard Neil Young& Cohen... | |

| Moving to UK, what to do? Wow this is getting really esoteric...PCs to Indian food!While we are at it we could also reckon on the probable sonic impact of garlic fumes on the ICs...just kidding folks!!NjoySunnyboy | |
| Are ARC new amps much better than older models? I can't claim the same breadth of experience or knowledge of ARC products as some others on this site.I have owned and enjoyed a LS2B for nearly a year( must have been over a decade old before it descended on my rack!)when the familiar urge to upg... | |
| Bryston 4B-ST, Magnepan 1.6QR, suggest a preamp. Was using an ARC LS2B for nearly a year with a Bryston 14BST and briefly with a 4BST with superb results.
