| Female Jazz Singers...new person/new releases... Shirley Horn and Cleo Laine but my guess is you already have them in your collection if you are a jazz fan. | |
| Who stay with Merlin longest time Thanks for the enlightened heads up Jimbo. Yes sir, we're all just a bunch of weak minded dupes. | |
| If you could bring back one great artist that has Inna now that you mention Paganni how about Franz Lizst as performing star. The women in his day supposedly removed and threw their underware on stage during his performances along with the fainting and things that young women go through when thei... | |
| Sony SCD XA5400ES tube rolling? Hi Mr. Tennis. I would do a google search. E-Bay would probably be a good place to look. These tubes are not readily available in any case and I expect you will pay a premium. Rfogel8, I too have purchased from e-bay dealers with good success, the... | |
| If you could bring back one great artist that has Yes, Buddy Holly for sure, what might have been? Also how another 20 years of Mozart might have impacted 19th Century music if he could have continued producing at the same pace, probably unlikely. And what about Gershwin? How many more memorable ... | |
| If you could bring back one great artist that has A young Louie Armstrong with Earl "Fatha" Hines for one last command performance. | |
| Sony SCD XA5400ES tube rolling? "There's still plenty of NOS available and most for less money."Yes, you're right, unfortunately you don't always know what you are getting and it really is a minefield out there without a reliable tube source. I highly recommend Andy Bowman of Vi... | |
| Sony SCD XA5400ES tube rolling? Hi PodeschiI agree with you concerning the Sylvanias, they are also one of my very favorite 6sn7 providing you procure them from a reliable source and they are closely matched. Unfortunately this is not always the case and it can make a significan... | |
| Oppo BDP-95 sounds GREAT? My guess is the ESS saber dacs and the transformer. One thing to keep in mind Syntax is that this is an EXTREMELY good value but keep in mind the usual cavaets, YMMV. When I compare this unit to my TT set-up (Oracle/SME/Benz LO) it really does hol... | |
| Oppo BDP-95 sounds GREAT? Having not heard some of the SOTA digital I wouldn't know but I'd sure bet Mike is dead on based on my impressions. One thing to consider with this unit as I did when I purchased it after hearing it in two different systems is the potential. My be... | |
| Why Do You Still Have Vinyl if You Don't Play it? Or maybe another reason, unconscious perhaps, is what happened to me the other day, spending an afternoon listening to some great music on a pair of Quad 2905s on a really fine vinyl rig, a "you are there" joyful experience that never happens with... | |
| solid state vs tubes--with a twist Thanks for the clarification Magfan, it seems I was playing a little loose with all the facts in this case. The further result was that Carver did develop an all out tube design that was highly regarded. I still take issue with any classic soundin... | |
| solid state vs tubes--with a twist Orpheus I remember the N.E.W. amps, those little boxes from the 90's. They indeed were impressive and inexpensive but for sure I never believed for a second I was listening to anything other than a really decent ss amp. | |
| solid state vs tubes--with a twist I think the key here Mr. Tennis is that you are looking for the classic CJ tube sound of the 80's and 90's in a ss amp. I have never heard any ss amp that is remotely in this camp. I do however agree that some of the most memorable ss amps, all Cl... | |
