| DIY kits... I wouldn't want to be the first kid on the block to plunk down money for one of these even though the guy's feedback is 100% positive with lots of buyers. (But if other 'gonners have I'd be interested to know what they've found. I missed seeing th... | |
| Good Speakers for Low Watts I'm sure you'll get lots of suggestions. The tough part of your question is the assumption I'm making that, as a bass player, you want to be able to hear other basses pretty well. Hopefully others who make specific recommendations will have kept t... | |
| Best Acoustic Guitar Players Of All Time? Add Jim Hall. Double add Joe Pass. | |
| If you had to pay full retail, would you...??? There was a time when there was no Audiogon! It's hard for me to imagine that now--it has changed my buying habits so much. If I could only pay retail, boy, it would be hard. I'd probably stay in the hobby and go totally for "internet" products--s... | |
| Need your help finding a pair of speakers......... Insignias | |
| Speaker disappearing act? It's like magic (not magico) and that's part of the appeal. | |
| Which $7000 speakers to ask Santa? Santa doesn't like to deliver big packages (his back you know) so see if you can find (or he can find for you) a used pair of the $22K Magico minimonitors that TAS thinks so highly of. | |

| Anyone else experiencing the rude highend retailer It's funny, in the Magnolia section of BB I am ignored. In the whole rest of the store, xmas or not xmas, someone always comes up and politely asks if I need help finding anything. | |
| Dynaco? The reviews of the PAT4 in Stereophile years ago put it in the same league as the PAS-3. I got a PAT4 on ebay for $75 that works great. They are old, though and I think it takes a little bit of luck to get a decent one (either 3 or 4) sight unseen... | |
| Johnny Hartman with John Coltrane I'm in the distinct minority on this one, but I believe that almost any of the Coltrane records from this time or later are 'better'--more musically rewarding--than the Hartman album. Meditations, for example. | |
| beautiful piano recordings: solo or small ensemble The new Stereophile recording of Silverman playing Beethoven's Diabelli Variations. State of the art recording, great playing, the greatest music. | |
| How far have things come regardingSS electronics? If it's a new NAD you are talking about, my guess would be that it would be better by more than a little. But I haven't heard it (obviously), so I don't know. When I think of "vintage" I think of older tube equipment. I don't know that SS "vintage... | |
| Mainstream reviews-why so few? And, sadly, wherever it's reviewed, the odds are that it will be a rave and it is nearly dead-certain that it will be at least positive--regardless of product. So, maybe everything sounds really good and is of good value...in which case put on a b... |
