Lynne Arriale
Well that figures, It looks like Lynne and Steve Davis have parted ways on her last two group recordings. The most recent album I have is "Nuance". I should have looked at it before I posted. It features Anthony Pinciotti on drums and so does her ... 
Lynne Arriale
Lynne Arriale has at least 10 albums out and they are all good. I really like her music, which is almost entirely piano trios. The drummer on all 10 albums is Steve Davis who has a unique style. He is not a timekeeper type of drummer, he is part o... 
Analog and digital are both equally amazing...
I have to agree with you goldenear. Analog and digital can both sound great and there's no reason one can't enjoy both. 
Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers
OK. I don't want to complicate the discussion between George and Ralph about power ,voltage and current. I'm just wondering why an amp that doesn't double down at 4 ohms and again at 2 ohms can't deliver the small amounts of energy needed for a sp... 
Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers
May I ask how much power you need to produce music above 10khz? I have a couple of charts that show that the only instrument capable of producing fundamental frequencies above 5khz is a pipe organ. A piccolo's highest fundamental comes in at 4khz,... 
s-s integrateds just on the warm side of neutral
I can't believe that the word hasn't gotten around yet, but there are a lot of people buying gear on Audiogon because they don't have a friendly dealer nearby who will let them borrow a few integrateds to take home and compare for a few weeks. And... 
Monty Alexander lp recommendations
If your ears can stand cd or SACD, "Ray Brown / Monty Alexander / Russell Malone" is a great album. 
Like a Rolling Stone - Looking for great live Dylan
Ghosthouse, Dylan was not and is not a normal person, as I'm sure you know. I'd guess that he was responding to the Judas shout. I doubt that he would care about or argue with someone who didn't want to listen to his albums any more. Being called ... 
Keeping your Pass Labs Amplifier on all the time
The X350.5 draws about 550 watts at idle and takes about an hour to warm up to peak sonic performance according to the manual. The 550 watts would mostly be turned into heat. The cost would be the same as leaving 5 or 6 100 watt light bulbs on all... 
DAC improvements slowing down?
AZjake, If you are happy with the sound of your system, just enjoy your music and all the great new cds that continue to be released. You don't have to keep chasing the state of the art if you don't want to. You'll never catch it anyway.If you fee... 
Joanne Shaw Taylor "The Dirty Truth"
For those who like their blues rock with the emphasis on rock, you might like Sena Ehrhardt (that's the correct spelling) "Live My Life".Also you might be interested in Blues Music Magazine. It's published by guys who worked at Blues Revue before ... 
Joanne Shaw Taylor "The Dirty Truth"
Mofi, I guess you answered my question in the first sentence of your post. I'm getting old, what can I say? 
Joanne Shaw Taylor "The Dirty Truth"
Thanks for the heads up Mofi. Would you describe her as blues rock or blues? Personally, I like my blues more in the traditional vein.I've recently picked up Kara Grainger, "Shiver and Sigh" She a young Aussie female guitar and vocalist, very easy... 
Digital downloads reviews
The Absolute Sound does a couple to a few each issue under the headings "Jazz and Pop" and "Classical". I'm not aware of anyone who does a lot of them. HDTracks and Acoustic Sounds have best seller lists but I'm not sure that's a good indicator of... 
Martin Logan Ethos - comments
I'm looking forward to hearing your comments Broadstone. The Ethos are very good speakers and ML did some nice work on their electronics in the bass enclosure to get really nice bass out of the small enclosure. Did you compare the Ethos to the Mon...
