Most underated albums......
Here's one I have never heard about on the 'gon and it's a killer album: Dreamland by Madeleine Peyroux. Not too many white girls, who can sing like Billy Holiday. Beautifully recorded, as well. Try her. 
Upgrade amp power cable or not?
Before getting a new cord, bag the Monster conditioners, and get an Audio Magic Stealth. The new ones are cryoed. I have the original, and love it. Plug all your electronics into this baby and your system is going to new heights. I love mine, and ... 
Monitor speakers for a change
I own the Revel M20s. Put them on the Sistrum Mini Monitor support stands and you'll be in heaven. (their stands suck) Of course, some killer electronics, to go along with that, will help. warren 
Help me select an integrated amp. Options please
I second, or third it; the YBA line, that is. I had the original Integre for 7 years. Still of the very best SS 50watts out there. I, now, own the Passion Integre. Different league altogether. Runs tete a tete (and better) with JRDG,ML, MF, and wo... 
Why aren't all CDs created equally?
What are some of those pristine jazz cds? 
Why aren't all CDs created equally?
Thanks Maxcast for the tip. I read the article. Very disheartening. It, truly is a "double edged sword." After listening, tonight, to Patricia Barbers, Modern Cool; I wish all my recordings, including Coltrane, Davis, Parker and the like, could be... 
Why aren't all CDs created equally?
Great points guys. I understand much better, now. Now, to find those killer label/recordings. Thanks again. I'm at peace.... temporarily, that is.. 
Why aren't all CDs created equally?
Thanks Tom. One response: and I feel better, already. I guess I should have remembered that, but still...When the discs are right my system soars, but, then again--there's just a lot of inferior software out there and my system like all of ours, j... 
Can I leave my Tuner on 24/7?
Good point Beavis. Never thought of that. Neither did anyone elese, for that fact. I'll check it out. I don't think it's a problem, but I'll put my ears into high gear, just to make sure. Everything, but my sub are plugged into my Audio Magic Stea... 
question to an Audio Aero Capitole mk2 owner
Ryan, my Audio Aero Prima has the same pin alignment as yours. First time I ever saw that.

Pete you're gushing. Enjoy, 'til the next... 
Powering Revel M20's.
I haven't listened to any of the electronics you're thinking of. I've heard much said, but again, no first hand experience. What I do know first hand, is the M20s. I would look for the highest quality 100 watts I could find. If you don't mind lowe... 
Maple, solid vs butcher block, vs other materials
I have all my components sittng on Sistrum Racks. Their webside is audiopoints.com Their systems work on the coupling/resonant transference principles. They sound great, and look great as well. I believe they have a money back gurantee. Whattaya g... 
Revel M20,Classe CAP-100 and Arcam 72T
What kind of power are we talking about? I own the M20s, but I'm not familiar with those electronics first hand, that is. These speakers are VERY revealing. They need some serious wattage. 100 minimum, but they can take whatever you throw at them.... 
Jazz Classic Enthusiasts
Tatum is a monster. The best. Oscar Peterson's mentor. Try the Tatum Group Masterpiece series,on Pablo. That's enough to keep you grooving for awhile. No one touches Tatum. I'm sure that will start some controversy, but hey...Tatum is the man...
