| good jazz piano Ditto to all previous postings! To throw a few different names into the mix, one of the best from-every-perspective recordings I've come across in recent history is "McCoy Tyner with Stanley Clarke and Al Foster," - Telarc 2000. On a decent playba... | |
| New Sade Album I respect all of the above opinions, however I believe the production mix was intended to come off as such and that it works IF one allows it to. Moreover, though I can well appreciate how some may perceive this work as "boring," if one is not nec... | |
| Any info on Welbourne labs preamps? I believe the Compleat is an older model. Welborne's current pre's go by the name Reveille. They come in active, passive & phono. Haven't heard 'em---sorry. | |
| what is everybody listening to right now As to the Chris Cornell solo recording cited by "Emily," I seem to recall reading somewhere that he was exploring/taking particular pains in an effort to produce a recording of exceptional sound quality. I haven't heard "Euphoric Morning," but I a... | |

| JOB, BelCanto, Perpetual, MilleniumDACs? I fully concur with Mroadster. The only thing is that the waiting list is such that it may take you forever to get the EVS DAC (very high demand/limited production). Hence, I would suggest in the meantime that you purchase one of the used Bel Cant... | |
| Biwire questions - Best cable for With all due respect to you, Megasam, Martin DeWulf also points out in his article, (and I tend to think he's correct) that in most cases, the speaker manufacturers have jumped on the whole bi-amp bandwagon/hysteria solely because they felt they h... | |
| Biwire questions - Best cable for I have good news for you. There seems to be no good reason whatsoever to bi-wire! I just received my latest edition of the Bound for Sound report in which its head honcho, Martin De Wulf, has published an article entitled, "Down With Bi-Wiring." A... | |
| Best system for ROMANCE First and foremost, I would focus upon finding a speaker that really does it for you and be prepared if necessary to budget the greater portion of your resources toward that aim. Since you are looking for suggestions, my clear recommendation is th... | |
| Help! Klipsch matching ....S.E.Triodes? Hello Lucio, and to everybody in Italy from a 3rd generation Italian-American in the USA! In case you are not aware, one of the best websites for those interested in triodes is that belonging to the inimitable, Dr. Harvey "Gizmo" Rosenberg, whom a... | |
| PSB Gold , NHT 3.3, Paradigm 100 V2? I have Gold i's in use in the main family living room of my home. They are an excellent all-around speaker for both critical and background/casual listening. Moreover and perhaps more importantly, they are quite accommodating to ALL types of music... | |
| Best and Worst customer service? In my experience, Bryston is so good, it's scary. Sent in a 14 year-old 3B amp that had heretofore worked flawlessly throughout its lifetime, because it began exhibiting a slight mechanical hum. The amp arrived back at my residence a few days late... | |
