| Question to Levinson DAC Owners fwiw, i have a ml-360s and a #37- the combo is quite a bit better sounding than a friend's ml#39 cdp. i would think the #39's transport is the same as a #37, so all i can say is you should get excellent results from a #37/36s pair. but at the same... | |

| Jazz Piano? jazz is a wonderful/terrible word to describe an enormous range of musical expression. at 24, you're "not supposed to like it"? otoh, i have a good friend who similarly perhaps, finds that a lot of jazz starts out with an (annoying) eclectic &... | |
