| Cal Audio Labs CL-15 I've run RCAs and digital coax simultaneously out of several CDPs and DVD players over the years (including a CAL CL-10 and CAL Icon II) with no ill effects to the players. I don't think I've been compromising the sound either, not noticably anywa... | |

| Review: Meadowlark Audio kestrel 2 Speaker Kestrel 2's seem to be born for tubes. I've run mine with a Jolida 302b with very good results and now am using a higher powered Jolida 801a (70wpc) with great results. Right now I'm playing around with a Rega Apollo as the source and it is fittin... | |

| Next on the list for Mahler.... I agree with Texasdave that the 4th Symphony is a good next step. Along with the Szell he recommends, I suggest trying to find the Paul Kletzki/Philharmonia Orchestra version from 1958, last seen on LP on the Seraphim label. I used to own that dis... | |
| Chris Isaacs And don't ever miss an opportunity to see him live... he and his band really cook! | |
| Next on the list for Mahler.... There's a Columbia LP that you might be able to find of Mahler song cycles (they are wonderful), sung by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau with Leonard Bernstein on piano. These cycles are usually performed with singer and orchestra, but Mahler wrote them ... | |
| Newbie looking for cheap dependable table The Rega p3 is relatively fuss-free. I recently paired mine with an inexpensive Bellari phono preamp so I could move it into my main system where it sounds pretty good. | |

| DAC with multiple inputs The CAL Alpha (used for $400-600) has four digital inputs, switchable from the front panel -- coax, balanced, toslink and AT&T fiber optic. Sounds great too, especially when using the balanced input. I'd love to try out the AT&T input but ... | |
| musical drummers...who are they ??? Favorites around here who meet that description include Cozy Cole back in the 30s and Danny Richmond (Charles Mingus' long time drummer) -- and another vote for Jim Keltner, Tony Williams and Gene Krupa. | |
| Best Sounding Red Book CD Changer Under $400 John,I too was a bit bummed to discover that the CL-5 had no digital out. I just assumed it would given that CAL made DACs and presumably would have liked to sell more of them. But the unit sounds good natively. The molded disc numbers haven't bee... |
