| Sonus Faber and Haydn Grand Haydn's are better looking (especially in Vienna's medium brown cherry - rich and warm) but can sound veiled and a bit lifeless without the right amp. During my home audition a couple of years ago I did not have one of those - I mean, the right am... | |
| Longest continuous playing songs A Mac laptop with 1,000+ iTunes through Apple Lossless, with Crossfade Playback set at 10-12 seconds. I can play music for 36 days. | |
| Mapleshade recordings "...I've finally reached a point with system where I'm ready to start listening to music..."?? What does that mean??If you are looking for good sounding jazz recordings, there are 100s of remastered CDs from Blue Note, Impulse, Columbia, Verve, Pr... | |
| TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp What company is this?? I find no TRL listed in A'gon directory. | |
| James Blunt out of tune? No way to know, but it's possible "Bungalow Bill" was meant to sound warped in this way. | |

| Opinions on the single driver Air Tight monitors? A single driver speaker would have a hard time sounding other than coherent. I do indeed like Air Tight amps - never heard the speaker. | |
| White Album, when's your last listen? I think Sony in Japan did remaster them in higher bit rates. The songs from Sgt. Pepper sound the same as on #1s which, I think, is remastered in higher resolution. | |
| Klaus Dinger-drummer for Neu & Kraftwerk R.I.P. Yes, but did he ever play on a Mariah Carey record?? | |
| White Album, when's your last listen? The Red Trumpet offerings were indeed Japanese pressings which were done (according to what I was told) in 20 or 24 bit resolution. I bought 3 of them and they were light years better (dynamic, proper timbre, openness, transparency, etc) than the ... | |
| Klaus Dinger-drummer for Neu & Kraftwerk R.I.P. Uh...somebody died? | |
| best artists in the last 15 years She likes to sing, "Ray Brown, Ray Brown!" in concert? | |
| New Rainbow remasterings are awful A minor god would be a demigod. |
