| artists who most deeply touch you Well I certainly am no Streisand fan but when she sings "People" it really touches me, so heartfelt. Eva Cassidy's recording of "What a Wonderful World" give me goosebumps as it was her last recording before her most untimely death. It is too bad ... | |
| Female Vocalist like Diana Krall, Jacintha. You might want to try Linda Ronstadt's "What's New", Nelson Riddle Orchestra. A lot of standards on this one including the title song, I've got a crush on you, Someone to Watch over me etc. Lush, easy to listen to and not at all bluesy. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Tom - I certainly understand where you are coming from so far as deadening the sound of a musical instrument is concerned but a pre-amp or tt or amplifier isn't a musical instrument but a component to transfer the signal unadulterated. How can som... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I have been withholding this but I think it just needs to be said so no one will have any misunderstanding or apprehension, don't think about it if you are, just do it. If you have a budget that permits it, you can't make a wrong decision with the... | |
| What is your cost for each system category ? LOL, it is just too funny listening to some of you guys. Amen Warrenh, it really is that simple. Percentages just don't apply. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi LarryI think the appeal of the Supratek is the value, aesthetics (if you happen to find the open architecture attractive) and performance. What caught my attention was the description of its sound, which in my experience comes with a much highe... | |
| Review: Luminous Audio Synchestra Silver Reference Interconnect Thanks for the review Driver. I have been very curious about the Luminous Silver along with Bob Crump's TG Audio cables. My experience with silver has been along your lines. There are aspects of its performance that were enhancements at the expens... | |
| Joseph Audio RM33si & others in the $8,000 range In defense of Jeff Joseph and his speakers, while I found the format of playing controlled material less to my liking than just playing what folks want to hear (this can be said about most exibits, and is a pet peeve of mine at the 3 shows I've be... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi BwhiteI read your post and my first reaction was a smile which is to say, I suspected as much. My guess is that the Syrah is such a complete product that anything bettering it would be to matters of degree, nothing that would overwhelm its perf... | |
| Berning and Supratek Hi LarryFor your information the Supratek has an output impedance of 600 ohms if this information helps in matching to your Gryphon. The Syrah, which I own transcends superlatives to describe it. It just sounds natural, liquid, continuous and timb... | |
| Why Veneer? To Roy JohnsonAll I can say is that I am really impressed with your knowledge of the properties of wood, wood composites and adhesives. Other than a brief listen to, can't remember the model, at the 94 Stereophile show at the Miami Hilton with VAC... | |
| What speakers would match well to my tube system? Along with Tmoran I would also recommend the VSM-M used. These are extraordinary 2-way floor standing speakers that have been refined since their original introduction in 1994 and they love tubes. At least try to listen with a dealer that knows ho... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century So it's about wines, I see and now I have a completely different perspective of where Mick might be coming from. Mick, could you or any other of the down under blotes (Steve?) chime in and clue us on what is a Syrah? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Funny from the first time I saw the spelling I saw it as Sarah and have pronounced and spelled it as Sar-ah since. Now it's Sear-a? Very nice tone to it, I like it. | |
| Review: Antique Sound Labs Hurricane Tube amp A great review can make the reader a participant and in very rare instances, I mean rare, enable the reader to truly relate to what the reviewer is describing. You have succeded most admirably in that respect Rick, your review of this amplifier is... |
