| Watt Puppy that much of an improvement? Jaybo: Are you familiar with any of Stvrvin's gear or is this another diatribe against upgrading? | |
| Best solid state amp under 1k I second USblues. Thresholds are a great option here. You can probably pick up a S300 for $1000 or less. | |
| Anybody tweaking by using the RCA caps? I have them but have not noticed a difference. It was a relatively inexpensive purchase hence the gamble. | |
| Do amps sound better when left on for 30 minutes ? I think it depends on the amplifier. I have owned both tube and SS amplifiers mfrd by Quicksilver, McIntosh, Threshold, and Ayre and I can tell you from my experience I have never noticed a difference. | |
| Upgrade bug has hit, interested in Pass Labs Amps doesn't mrtennis have it right?

| Great Cello music Part 2 Ella: The Tsabropoulos and Gurdjieff CD is amazing. I bought it a few years ago. I was fascinated by the narrative that accompanied the disc. Gurdieff was actually a mystic that founded his own school of philosophy if I'm not mistaken. Thank you a... | |
| T-BONE BURNETT CD'S Probably not available in CD but you can check: Proof thru the night. Easily the best he has ever done IMO. Also, great recording. | |
| McCormack DNA-500 Mitdking: I'm curious about your statement that the CJ 350 is a much better amp than the McCormack. Both are on my short list for high powered amp (the Pass 350.5 is also on that list), if I choose to go that route. Did you own both? In which ways... | |
| Amazing Solo Piano Recordings If you like Chick Corea check out Piano Improvisations Volumes 1 & 2 (ECM) and Standards 1 & 2. | |
| Can anyone wean me off of Sublime? Reubent: I just wanted to take the time to thank you for a wonderful tip (EG Pandora). Not sure if anyone can replicate Sublime but there were some interesting things that came up with the search. thanks again. | |

Someone that actually sold them a while back (as part of the Hales line)informed me that they best they ver sounded was when they were driven by the Classe' CAM-400 monoblocks. H... | |
| Pat Metheny Fans, Great Suggestions Please ?? Rx8Man: If you followed the early postings on this thread you will note a common denominator: the early stuff if the best. A few recent albums such as Missouri Sky and One quiet moment are pleasant surprises, but for me the early recordings (New C... | |
