| I need a female jazz vocalist. No Krall, No Norah Any Holly Cole CD. | |
| Who makes the best passive volume control? Any of the Reference Line models. Reference Line was the "reference" pre-amp for a number of equipment reviewers because of its neutrality and transparency. Plus the dynamics is incredible. | |
