your favorite michael brecker recording?
Hello,I was so fortunate to have been able to catch Mike Brecker live a good 15 times so. He was my favorite tenor player and a virtuoso in every sense of the word. He was always modest and had such a kind spirit. So many great recordings, I guess...

Tube Preamps...I'm sold
Hi Tboooe,I would seriously consider the new BAT VK-52se at that price level. Also, when your funds allow you have the option of upgrading the 52se to the REX without having to sell the 52se. Good luck,Tom 
Preamp Quandary - sonics vs. ergonomics??
Hello Chris,Do you mean the BAT 51se or the 32se? The reason why I ask is because I was just went down to the BAT factory last weekend and Victor told me they were waiting on some parts for the 52se so they could send out the first batch of them. ...

Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?
Another vote for top of the line BAT tube gear! Plain and simple, in record time they have shown themselves to be one of the top electronic manufactures in hi-end today. They deserve all the success that comes their way. The Eidolon Diamonds have ... 
Are NBS cables are sound better than Nordost ?
Hello Dkhanhxuanl,I just wanted to say you should try to listen for yourself to decide. I do not find the Valhalla interconnect or speaker cable to be lean at all. IMO it is the most neutral cabling I've heard. Good luck, I hope you find what you ... 
A question for those who've chosen a Valhalla PC..
Hello Tplavas,I'm looking forward to read your thoughts when you get a chance. Leonx, I can't say that I agree with you 100%. Not to say you are not hearing what you hear, but IMO ... all Valhalla can show just how colored other cables are. I don'...
