| any new BLUES recomendations? Definitely check out Eilen Jewell (pronounced like feelin'), Letters from Sinners and Strangers. She's not straight blues but a bluesy mix of roots music and she is good. Just read the reviews on Amazon. | |

| Which Davies' Kind of Blue CD sounds better? Get the Columbia/Legacy 1997 or later reissue. A tape speed error is corrected on the '97 reissue for the first time. Even the original vinyl had one side at the wrong speed. It also includes the one alternate take from the session, a second take ... | |
| Good Country recordings Emmylou Harris's recent box set, "Songbird" sounds very good. Jimmy LaFave's recent "Cimmaron Manifesto" sounds good and is a killer album. Jimmy is not your typical country singer if you haven't heard him.Capitol reissued Linda Ronstadt's first 4... | |

| SS Amp for natural vocals Tvad, How did your Belles compare to the Pass amps? How did the midrange including vocals compare? I would like to own a Pass XA.5 but the Belles would fit my budget a lot better. | |
| SS Amp for natural vocals Thanks Everyone, Lots of good amps to choose from, as always. The Dalis are not hard to drive, efficiency and impedance wise, so that should not be a factor in choosing an amp.The ARC 100.2 looks like a strong contender but I'd like to stay away f... | |
| Conrad Johnson CA200 vs. Mcintosh MA6900 I don't think that the CA200 is kept in standby mode when it is shut off. The manual does say that it sounds better warmed up, but you have to either leave it on or listen to it cold for a little while after turning it on. I don't know why they di... | |
