| System to take on the road Issabre, I live on the road with medical contracts taking me all over the country. I've had several combinations and found two that worked best. Had a Linn Classik with modified NHT SuperZeros and now with an NAD L 40 with the same speakers. Lovan... | |
| Better Quality CD's Skiidman, seems nobody has really approached the difference in CD reproduction which is the quality of mastering or remastering. Most pop groups couldn't care less about soundstage, imaging, full range and dynamics. The better quality CDs mention ... | |
| Audio Terms Craig did a very nice job with the terminology. I take issue with only one and that is bloom. I always associate that with tube gear and it refers to an over warm sound which tubes, somewhat unregulated, will create. | |

| looking for the right integrated Look for an old Luxman integrated with around 100wpc. It will sound very musical and is strong enough to drive the Josephs. Good luck. | |
| Any good cheap integrated amps? The Luxmans and Yamahas of late 70s/early 80s are still superb when compared to even current electronics. Might even find a Luxman L-105 for around $350. Good luck. Doug | |
| All-time best recordings for romance John Klemmer's Touch album. Guaranteed to positively and romantically affect all females except biker women. Good Luck. |
