Mcintosh, YBA, Brinkman integrateds
"Too thin for my tastes?" I used to own the DT and didn't find that at all, and the Passion is a whole other story. It's what makes this a great hobby. I'm a jazz man and the Passion does it for me in spades. The Passion is toasty, airy, sweet on ... 
Mcintosh, YBA, Brinkman integrateds
I own the YBA, Passion. I liked it much better than the Mcintosh. From sound to build quality it took out the Mc. Never heard the Brinkman, so I can't say, but I would take book in a tete a tete the Passion would hold its own, rather easily. Infac... 
$4500 amp beat out the Tenor OTL in the latest TAS
Do you think Stereophile, The Absolute Sound or the like, are going to give any company's product, that advertises with them, promises to, or poses a good advertising possibility, a less than B+ review. Let's get very real, here. When advertising ... 
XRCD: to be or not to be...
How do the DDC Jazz discs stack up? I have quite a few and love most of them. What about compared to XRCD? Shit, this going to get expensive. Not that it hasn't already. Thanks for your feedback guys. Especially you Scott! You be da Jazzman....pea... 
XRCD: to be or not to be...
Well, I already see that Tower Records has them for significantly less. About $23 or so. Still, I need your feedback...peace... warren

Man, I wouldn't want to be the guy who just paid $18000 for the Tenors. Let's see what happens with this baby....

Pristine Jazz
Blue Note, excellent? Some, maybe, but not cutting edge. Pristine, is what I'm after. Sc53--I'm looking for CDs here. Keep 'em coming. I know I'll get some killer stuff from your posts. 
Sound difference between Revel M20 and Merlin TSM
I have not heard the Merlin, but I do own the M20s. Don't buy Revel's stands. They're poor and certainly won't optimize the wonderful potential of the M20s. I put my babies on the Sistrum Mini Monitor platform system. Amazing difference. They're p... 
Best bookshelf speaker reccomendations?
Put the Revel M20s on your list. With killer stands you'll go to heaven. I love mine.... 
Audio Aero Prima 24/192 vs. Cary 303/100
Yes, that's true about the upgrade. They've upgraded the price, as well. When it origninally came out, last year (still wonderfully reviewed, by the way) it was $1600. Now, I believe it's running $2200. I love mine. This player, still, is the best... 
Loreena McKennitt and Eva Cassidy
Thanks for the tips guys. While I have you here: anybody hear of Rebecca Pidgeon's, Raven on Chesky? peace, warren 
Integrated: SS or Tube?
I'm confused by your post. You want to know if you should go into a tube integrated amp? How would any of us know that? What do you feel you're missing with your Concentra? Is it really a tube thing? Maybe it's a solid state thing that isn't doing... 
Upgrade amp power cable or not?
I'm sorry, I didn't read your post carefully. I didn't realize you just purchased those babies. As Gilda Radner use to say on Saturday Night Live, "never mind." Email me, in the future, should you find it's not happening with your Monsters. Voodoo...
