| Magneplanar 3.6R + Pass Aleph Amps Mate ? IMO, one needs a LOT of good, clean sounding power for the 3.6. I'm not familiar with the Aleph 5. I'm using an InnerSound ESL amp that warps out at 600WPC into 4 ohms. That gives me a clean 100db in-room. | |
| Best Jazz Recordings of 2002 How's your Tony Monaco CD collection coming? He's next to Joey D. | |
| What kind of power wakes up electrostatic speakers Respectfully disagree, but no flack. The InnerSound seems to need major break-in. Now usually I'm a little skeptical of all this break-in bidness, but, I personally experienced a break through with the InnerSound after a minimum of about a hundred... | |
| who is Franco Corelli?? where to buy his LPs?? Of course, you are "politically correct", but, and it's a BIG butt, who else are you going to hear with that much voice doing the roles you mentioned? It certainly isn't Gedda or (really!) Alagna. I'm sorry about Alagna. I tried one of his aria CD... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Used CD player has usually more deminishing return than the new one.I don't understand this statement. Do you mean that a used CD player is not as good as a new one? | |
| SACD on Redbook Player Yeah, Thinkat, it seems we need more peace makers these days.But enough of that, what I'm really interested in is CD playback on SACD players. | |
| Best Jazz Recordings of 2002 Saw Bill Charlap in August. A stunning pianist with great back-up.I'm a little surprised you didn't include the 5 star rated Bill Bruford & Earthworks double CD called "Footloose and Fancy Free", live and in your face, a great quartet and this... | |
| who is Franco Corelli?? where to buy his LPs?? HELL of a tenor. More complete recordings are: I Pagliacci, Cavalleria Rusticana, Manon Lescaut, Andrea Chenier, and numerous pirated recordings. LPs? That's a tough one. | |
| $4500 amp beat out the Tenor OTL in the latest TAS Dear Brucegel:I have lathered on the jive time anti-persperant as well as the jive time mouth spray so don't you worry.I agree with you on every point. $4500 IS a lot to spend on a power amp(s).I apoligize for not arguing. | |
| Magnepan vs. Martin Logan I've owned Martin-Logan Sequel II, CLSIIz, and reQuest. Good speakers but, turned up, I felt there was a "glare". I have Magneplanar 3.6 now. No "glare" but they need plenty of power to wake up and boogie | |
| Classe 300 or Innersound Esl amp. for Maggie 3.5s? I plan to hear the InnerSound with my 3.6 within the next month, hopefully. But since the InnerSound comes with a 30 day trial, why not try? Perhaps Duke at audiokinesis.com would help. | |
| Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music? Weller's 12 year old, neat, with Dove chocolates to hand. I drift from Mahler to hard & post bop. | |
| Opera recommendations on vinyl LPs, eh? That could be tough. I don't know of any opera recordings, especially from the major labels, that are available on vinyl. It will be the used market only. Yeah, "Carmen" is a good choice, maybe with Callas and Gedda. My favorite Puccini o... | |
| Mahler...OK I'm hooked Speaking of 'hooked', have you ever been to the Mahlerfest in Colorado in January? |
