| Jethro Tull recent Remasters vs Mobile Fidelity? Thanks for the replies, that is really great to hear! The MoFi albums I'm missing in my collection are selling for stupifiying prices on idiot-bay, this is so good to hear! I'm going to pickup a couple now to compare myself, thanks again! | |

| Best used solid state amp for Energy C8 1500 Max I use to own and have heard many Energy speakers, and have used numerous amps with them. My favorite match has been the Odyssey Stratos with the 120,000 cap upgrade. Amazing amp. Smooth, dynamic, extended, superior imaging and depth that doesn't g... |
