Info on LFD Mistral...?

Thanks Trelja! I will probably stick with my Linn till i am able to audition other amps, including Jadis! I listen mostly acoustic instruments, classical and world (stange) music like Tuvan Throat singers and such...! I just cannot stand "rock" "pop" and other....maybe some New age...etc! Thanks again! Dragan

wasn't sam tellig the same guy who, several years ago, recommended the use of wd-40 or armor-all on cd's? yeah, like his opinion's worth anything. remember, too, the guy gets PAID to write for stereophile! another member of the world's oldest profession. wonder if he has a heart of gold.

hey, eldragon, i've got a cd for you to try, if you don't already own it. seriously. it's called "spirit" and is done by a swedish acoustic trio, vasen, playing a nylckelharpa, viola and guitar. northside, NSD6004.

I heard about them, somebody told me about...? i sure will check on E-bay! I find most of my music there! And if you are into "vinyl" that's place to go! Thanks Sluggo!

Eldragon, from the musical tastes you described to me, you sound like the classic candidate for a tube amp. And maybe a warm one at that. Albeit, this would be a major shift in sound from your Linn. I think you may like the sound of an EL34 based amp. You may want to one day audition the CJ CAV50, Jadis Orchestra, Jadis Orchestra Reference(which will accept EL34/6CA7 tubes), or even the Jolida 302B. Don't discount the Jolida, with a quartet of JJ or Svetlana tubes and a good power cord. Sluggo, Sam's article did contain a fair amount of contradictory statements, as I pointed out. And he doesn't listen to blues/rock/pop or even much modern jazz(as I do), so I always take his feelings with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, he is the writer at Stereophile I have the most faith in(Johnathan Scull being my least favorite, by FAR). Yeah it's a magazine, and he gets paid, but would I be as well informed without that magazine(with the ads, reviews, classifieds, etc.)? No.
