| OTL amps Like Vtvu, I have the 25wt stereo Transcendent Sound OTL and for $1,900.00, it is extremely good. The sound is very transparent and lets you hear everything going on in the recording, which can be good or bad. Because of it's incredible "clearness... | |
| SONY SCD S333ES I haven't heard the machine but check out the latest issue of Listener Magazine, Jan/Feb. The editor, Art Dudley reviews it and likes it quite a bit. he's an analog/tube(SET) guy and concludes by saying everyone should buy an SACD player now in or... | |
| Ken Burns' JAZZ starts Monday on PBS! Don't expect any sort of surge in interest in jazz during or after this series. The first Ken Burns series, "The Civil War" caught our national attention because it was different and could hold the average American's interest for a few hours. That... | |

| Upgrading from Sols 5.3s--Sonatina maybe Emil - I have a Transcendent Sound 25wt OTL which has been driving my Proac Response 2.5s for about 6 months now. I do have a small room (11 x 13.60 but I get more than enough volume and dynamics. I've had my Proacs for almost four years and they ... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? The reasons are, of course, manyfold with most of them outlined above. I remember in the 1970s I could go to high end audio stores and find all sorts of people, male and female, being turned on to the current good stuff. Not any longer. High end s... | |
| New Speakers You've got quite a wide variety of speakers there. I personally have never found an Alon speaker which captured that elusive quality - musicality. I've not heard the big Sonus Fabers but have heard two other models. Both made real music and looked... |
