| Getting started, need amp recommendation In this price range, you should seriously consider the ART SLA-1. You can get a new one for about $200 delivered. There was considerable buzz about this amp a few weeks ago on AudioGon, and a few of us took a small gamble and ordered one to try in... | |
| I need a female jazz vocalist. No Krall, No Norah Uh...Billie Holiday?Also agree with the recommendations of Shirley Horn, Cassandra Wilson, Abbey Lincoln, and Sarah Vaughan.Dinah Washington, Betty Carter, and Dee Dee Bridgewater are three others to add to your search.Happy hunting. | |
| I need more Funk Need more funk? How about Parliament/Funkadelic? If you are looking for funky jazz, give Ornette Coleman and Prime Time a try.The motherlode, however, is the four CD box set entitled The Funk Box. It is absolutely great. | |
| Your favorite Jazz album - w/in last 5 years James Carter - 'Chasin' the Gypsy'Carter is my favorite youngish jazz musician. He has incredible chops and his albums are all quite different and wonderful. I like all of them, but especially this tribute to Django Reinhardt. It is beautiful and ... | |
| Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet? I have spent quite a bit of time listening to the SLA-1 for the past week or so, and have more or less arrived at the following conclusions. First, it is an unbelievable value, and I like the idea of having it in a second system and as a backup am... | |
| Rock Music: 1951-1976 vs. 1977-2003 For me, it is pretty simple. On one side, you have the Beatles, Stones, Dylan, Creedence Clearwater, James Brown, Steely Dan, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Neil Young, and many others recording at the height of their artistic powers.Who would like ... | |

I have found that regular contributors to this forum are, without exception, unfailingly helpful, thorough, pleasant, and generous with those of us less knowledgable about the technical ways and means of high end audio. Several members here have t... | |

| Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet? Guys, I'll admit I am in a bit of a quandary, and I am probably not the only one. The right place at the right time might well turn out to be the wrong place at the wrong time. Be that as it may, I am now owner of this amp and am letting it break ... | |
| Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet? Since I was already in the market for a modestly priced amp for my office system when the controversial and now-deleted first thread on the ART popped up, I decided to take a chance on the ART SLA-1 and see what it would sound like in my system be... | |
| Stunning cable comparison I am not familiar with your cables, but I would give them some time to break in before drawing any conclusions about their performance. I know there are many here who do not believe in break-in, but I have seen significant changes in speakers, amp... | |
| Richard Thompson?? Yeah, me too, Lee. I will probably get the soundtrack anyway, as it appears to have some other pretty cool stuff on it, but I would have preferred to see it on his latest LP. Have you heard Richard's new record, 'Old Kit Bag'?I just bought it, but... | |
| Richard Thompson?? Spindrifter,It is on the 'Crossing Jordan' soundtrack.best regards, | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Lisbon--Jazzdude is correct. I have had the Plinius SA-102 in my system for the past several months now, and it sounds great with the Syrah. Previously, I had Bel Canto EVO 200.2 amps in a monoblock configuration, and while the sound was extremely... |
