| Jazz for aficionados Chet Baker's album, Chet, was recommended to me as truly stunning by a few members of this forum, and I wholeheartedly agree. I don't have anything close to the depth of jazz knowledge that many of you have, but I love this album and it's now part... | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album Thanks very much, @1jafa -- listened to the Doobies throughout high school but haven't yet picked up a single album. Will track these down. Appreciate the recommendations. I will add Nils Lofgren's Acoustic Live box set to the list. | |
| 55” or 65” TV Screen Size and Your Speakers: Please Join Survey @waytoomuchstuff thanks for all the science, very interesting and informative. OP, here's another strong vote for the 65. My listening room is ~ 19' x 14' with a 65" TV centered on the end of the rectangle. It's flanked by a pair of Magnepan 3.7s... | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital I started a thread called "Truly Stunning Vinyl" (of any genre) a month or two ago and one of the early recommendations by two forum members was the Chet Baker album, Chet. They were right, it sounds truly stunning on my system. I would probably a... | |

| List Of Small Company Tube Amps @ronrags for some reason I can't reply to your DM so I'm responding here instead. I love my Cronus Dark. It was not an upgrade from a non-dark version. I opted for the Dark because I didn't want to be constrained in speaker choices, and it hasn't ... | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album @terry9 Beethoven's Emperor recording live from Berlin in fall 1944 just arrived, and I heard the anti-aircraft guns momentarily in the background towards the end of side 1. Amazing bit of history, and I feel fortunate that this album is actually ... | |

| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album OP chiming back in. I just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone for all your amazing suggestions. This will keep me busy and in audio nirvana for a very long time, and I really can't thank you enough. I've already found a few new favorites with vin... | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album Thank you all so much for the incredible suggestions! Blown away! I was up late last night streaming the suggestions that came in yesterday afternoon/evening, and loved all of them! Elgar, Nils Frahm, that Chet album, Fantasia, Respighi, Rachmanin... | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album @yogiboy @dogberry many thanks, on it!! | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album @pindac thanks for the suggestions. I have a few Bowie albums I like but don't love, but none of them are Q Sound versions. I'll look for that, and I'll also research the PAVCR cleaning method. Thanks for your time. | |
