| Quicksilver M60 vs Early Silver 88 I heard a pair of M60s many years back, can't really comment with any meaningful comparison with the later Silver 88, compatable with the kt150 tubes and what I currently use. The Silver 88 is a most exceptional amp with nada a one irritant that f... | |

| BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER Well I'm not too sure that time forgot Ella or Sarah but give it time as all things must pass. Thanks for the link Jperry. P.S. Didn't ever really appreciate Doris Day as a kid, thought her movies, particularly with Rock Hudson were really obnox... | |
| BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER For me, my favorite, range, tone, improv ability which is bottomless and sheer listenability, Sarah Vaughn. Can't argue with any of the above, love Ella too for many of the same reasons as Sarah but less to degree, Sarah was a true genius both voc... | |
