| 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... | |
| Comparing the Pass Labs XA30.5 to the XA 30.8 That doesn't mean that many people won't prefer the .5 amps though. Everyone has different tastes in amps. Not to mention that we all hear differently too. | |
| Comparing the Pass Labs XA30.5 to the XA 30.8 He goes on to directly compare .5 to .8:"Point 8 / Point 5 amp Differences:The Point 8 amps present a more accurate representation of the recording venue. The dimensionality of the sound stage does not change no matter how complex the material. La... | |
| Comparing the Pass Labs XA30.5 to the XA 30.8 I don't think Nelson Pass agrees with you Cal. Here is what he says in the brochure for the .8 amps:"We’re excited! Because we’re celebrating our 23rd year by presenting the best amplifiers we’ve ever made. Our New Point 8 Series, X.8 and XA.8, op... | |
| The first watts It seems that there is a disconnect between theory and practice here. A speaker rated at 87db is considered to have moderately low sensitivity. I would say that most speakers have a higher sensitivity today.If 10 watts powers that speaker to 92db,... | |

| Tinnitus Andrewrona, Have you or anyone you know tried Tinnitus Tamer and found it effective? I know you are trying to be helpful but the net is full of useless remedies. The fact that it only costs $35 may be a means to get more people to try it and then ... | |
| Tube question - need new ones c-j tells you that you should only use tubes purchased from them. They may test their tubes more than others but there is nothing unique about their tubes. You can buy tubes from other vendors and many people do. Many people also tube roll in c-j ... | |
| is 17ls2 a good match? Korykats, Why don't you try a VTL preamp? Instead of trying to find a preamp that has a nice synergy with your VTL amps, go with a preamp that the designer of your amps feels is a good match. If you're not happy with a VTL pre, then start the tria... | |
| is 17ls2 a good match? I can't help you with your specific question but I have owned the c-j 17ls2. It's a very good preamp with a nice rich sound. It is not as detailed as good newer preamps. This was c-j's first step away from the golden sound they were known for and ... |
