| KIND OF BLUE There are some previous threads on this subject that you may want to check out if you haven't already. Inevitably though any answers to a question like this are always subjective. I can't speak to Kind of Blue on vinyl, but when it comes to releas... | |

| Jazz for aficionados One I should have put in my earlier list is the Charlie Byrd Quintet "Du Hot Club De Concord" from 1995 on the Concord label. I just listened to it for the first time in ages. I had forgotten what a terrific CD this is. It's going back on my frequ... | |

| Latin Female Singers - Any suggestions? For a Latin female jazz composer/pianist/vocalist, I recommend Tania Maria. | |
| Legacy audio classics Just what the doctor ordered. I needed a good laugh :-) | |
| Musical Fidelity? I have no experience with any of their integrated amps so I cant speak directly to them, but I do have other experience with the Musical Fidelity brand. I use their M6PRX and the M6PRE separates with B&W 804 Diamonds listening primarily to ja... | |
| Do you ration your favorite music? Mike60, I know exactly what you mean. I do the same thing. A little voice says "don't play that now, you just listened to it a couple days ago, it's too good to risk getting bored with it, wait awhile." Of course, sometimes that little voice gets ... | |
| "Brand New"...I don't think so You are absolutely correct! Audiogon standards state quite clearly: "When an item's condition is called "NEW", it must be a factory sealed box, and the seller should declare what if any warranty will be provided by the manufacturer. Some manufactu... | |
| Opinions on speakers There is only one on your list that I have heard, which is the Pioneer S-2EX. I was very impressed by its sound, and it looks great with its companion stands. I compared it to the B&W 804 Diamond and actually preferred the Pioneer, but I went ... | |
| Best Place/Way To Sell My CD Collection? Elizabeth's response is spot on. I have a friend who recently disposed of 1,000 garden variety Blues cds (no MFSL or DCC). A locally well known used cd and vinyl shop owner declined to acquire the collection because it was just too many for him to... | |
| how to hookup Netflix streaming to a OPPO BDP-93 I don't have Uverse. I have Verizon FIOS, but the procedure should be basically the same. First of all, the connection you need to make is between your Uverse router and the Oppo; it is not between your computer and the Oppo. The Oppo BDP-93 has w... | |
| Speaker cable suggestions for B&W 804 Diamond I use "low end" speaker cables from Blue Jeans Cable for my 804 Diamonds and love them. There is nothing muddy in the top end. Thinking I should at least try something more high end, I once auditioned Kimber Kable 8tc speaker cable from The Cable ... | |
| Should I spike my B&W 804D's I put my 804 Diamonds on Mapleshade's 12x15x2 maple platforms supported by Mapleshade's radiused footers. This produced some sonic improvement over just using the rubberized feet that came with the speakers, and it also looks very nice. However, i... |
