| Keith Jarrett recommendation Ken-Yes, good catch. There are four pieces on that release, and Jarrett plays on the first. So while it's all Haden, it's also 25% Jarrett.Thank goodness for the new math. | |

| Keith Jarrett recommendation Albert:"One's man's treasure...", right?I wonder how that particular reviewer views the larger context of Jarrett's complete body or work? Other delights I found about Staircase is the wonderful timbre of the particular instrument used for the rec... | |
| Keith Jarrett recommendation Ok, I couldn't resist. Here's the last paragraph of Rolling Stone's (!) review of Staircase:"Jarrett reaches a peak of eloquence in the second section of "Hourglass," where a wandering nocturnal theme, two parts Fauré to one part Bill Evans, gradu... | |
| Keith Jarrett recommendation Staircase has always been my favorite Jarrett release, although Facing You and My Song are close. It seems to me as a pianist that Jarrett visits another place than he seems to in his live gigs (ie, Koln Concert), not so much playing for the crowd... | |

| Newbie ?'s Given your stated tastes and the fact you don't mention vinyl in your new setup, I would second the recommendation for the recent reissue of King Crimson's "Discipline", as well as their live "USA" and "Red", all HDCD reissues. Lots of other good ... | |
| Cartridge recommendation for Rega P-25 With my RB600, I have enjoyed my Dynavector high output MC; I have the 20x-H, which is wonderful but can be pricey new. Their 10x4 is less expensive and I am told a very fine HO MC as well. No step up required on either. | |
| Where can I hear Teres Aren't there enough substantive changes from the Teres to view the Redpoint as a different (albeit, related) animal? The differences in bearing and platter seem to me to be significant enough to warrant this.It seems from viewing the link that Bwh... | |

| Powering my Magnepan 3.0's I have heard good things about the InnerSound ESL (but don't own & haven't actually heard). I am using a Plinius 8200 integrated which does just fine. Sheer rated watts on a spec sheet probably doesn't tell the whole story of compatibility, as... | |
| Question for Ex-Maggie Owners Emil:If possible and if you have the room, I would recommend you hold out and purchase used 3.5s or 3.6's locally. Reasons:1) You're right, they're beasts in terms of size and weight. I'd want to physically inspect (torn or dirty socks, evidence o... |
