| Where stands the music of Chet Baker with you? Phasecorrect, thankyou! I've been searching for that for about 20 years, never thought to look on youtube. I did enjoy the movie, but I still think Chet Baker stinks. His early trumpet playing wasn't too bad, but it sure got bad soon. How can anyb... | |
| Where stands the music of Chet Baker with you? Try as I might, I've come to truly hate his work, and his reputation as person doesn't help. A pretty boy record company promotion without any real talent. The only thing flatter than his trumpet, was his voice. Truly awful! Still I would like to ... | |
| Tom Waits Bad? Even his stuff that I didn't originally appreciate, grew on me. I think his talents expand beyond the typical musician, as a true poet and performance artist. Count me as a fan. | |
| Class A to XX Watts Just how noticeable the transition from Class A to Class B depends on different conditions. Often times the transition will happen as either bass demands and/or overall volume increases. During such times ones ears might not be as sensitive to the... | |
| New Speakers for $2000 Rlg_audio, Gee, I really don't want to pick a fight with you :-), but again I feel the need to comment on your last post. I basically share your preference, I don't think the Maggies are nearly that bad, in fact I think though quite different, the... | |
| New Speakers for $2000 With all due respect to Rlg_audio and Stereophile, IMHO, while balanced gear certainly has it's advantages, it's not a prerequisite for successful integration of an enjoyable system utilizing the extraordinary value leader Vandersteen 2's. Further... | |
| long speaker cables or IC's for budget system Rrog, such a length can easily deliver the appropriate power to the unusual 28 year old discontinued Scintillas by readily available appropriate cables. | |
| What's the best pre-amp to use with the Acurus I really can't recall, but I seem to remember the Acurus as having a rather a rather low input impedance. Finding a compatible tube pre might be a challenge.I remember the Acurus amp as having bass capabilities way beyond it's price point, unfortu... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations please I'm not familiar with your speakers, but I would think the Alpha-Core Goertz AG or MI 1 series would work well with your Ayre. Alpha-Core offers a generous free trial, do ask about their RC networks. | |
| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 FWIW, some years ago David A. Wilson writing in the Absolute Sound, suggested that a low output impedance DC coupled pre into a low input impedance DC coupled input impedance amp could offer the best Xc factor. | |
| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 I can see advantages for either ss or tubes, but the Pass input impedance and preferred use of balanced inputs might make for limited tube choices. I think the a Pass pre is a no brainer. Tube options include Sonic Frontiers Line 3, and though I'm... | |
| What is your listening level? Another great point by Al. | |
| Efficient speakers with high powered ss amp? Rischa, obviously Audiogon offers audiophiles a great opportunity to buy and sell gear in their quest for optimal sound. | |
| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 Are you limiting your considerations to tube pres? | |
| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 Nothing personal, just for the record.:-) |
