| Why aren't these on the "recommended list?" Great job Kelly!!! Many REAL companies aren't "political" enough for a mention in a magazine, yet are worlds better than most Class A components. For example; Jadis, Avalon, Tube Research, Majico, FIM Cables, etc. Most audiophiles that are really ... | |
| Is there any fun in tuner? Unfortunately, Fat Parrot, I must agree with you. Sadly FM radio has changed drastically. There are the same 5 or 6 formats, rotating the same 15 to 20 songs, in most major markets that I've been to. The only exception are the small college and pu... | |
| High Quality Passive Preamp Recommendtion Does anyone here have experience with the First Sound passive pre, built by Emmanuel Go? | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Magico brand speakers, built by Alon Wolf. | |
| brulee fails PC challenge I've noticed the same situation with the FIM, especially after the copper skinning effect (break in ) is nearly complete. Let's face it, with many of the serious power cords, there is a whole lot of copper in each run. The FIM Gold is very thick a... | |
| The top ten reasons why..... Maybe they should re-name the Wave radio to the Snicker Radio. When you consider that people are paying over $400.00 for a table top radio, Bose is laughing all the way to the bank! What do suppose the actual hard cost of manufacture is? | |
| Playing back 78s? Where do I start? If you really get into it, you can purchase a Benz cartridge with the 78 RPM conical stylus! There are several Benz Gliders in service outfitted with the conical stylus for 78 RPM play. | |
| Vinyl stores at Seattle? thanks I agree Pelv, there are a few record stores in my hometown, Spokane, that offer records in VG+ condition for as little as $2.00. (Just don't expect to find any good jazz).Regarding Seattle, check the yellow pages at your local library in the Seatt... | |
| Best Unknown Jazz Album Possibly the most dynamic trumpet recording, "Sincerely Conte", Conte Candoli, Bethlehem 10 inchAnother, though better known, M&K Records "For Duke". This record is incredible. Definitely a must have. | |

| Fired up the TT for the first time I agree with Bluenose. Davids' life will never be the same; the frequent stops at used record stores, garage sales, flea markets, even buying vinyl on-line. Welcome to our world ... | |
| Best place to get vinyl records? I'm primarily a jazz listener, especially the be-bop era. I found a variety of dealers in the back of Jazz Times magazine, 5 of which I still buy from. There are also your local independent record stores, which greatly need our help. And, as pikll... | |
| Cowboy Junkies Best Songs I've always liked their version of "Blue Moon". | |
| For You: THE most imprortant element... I know what you mean, Drubin. I'm not hugely into horns, but there are atributes to each; horns, dynamic electrostatic speakers which, so far, positive attributes can't be combined. We have been at audio longer than we have space travel, yet we ar... | |
| For You: THE most imprortant element... This is a real thought provoking thread; one that really makes you think about sound reproduction. We really do have a long way to go with sound reproduction, I mean really, we don't have 3D speakers which let you really hear the entire event, or ... |
