| What albums, in your opinion, sound unquestionably better on Vinyl rather than Digital? Where to start? Too many to note a clear example off the top of my head as I just recently demoed to a friend to demonstrate vinyl’s appeal, Nancy Griffith’s "One Fair Summer Evening", a live club performance. | |
| Big vintage amps worth paying for and keeping for a long time Roberjerman, do you mean a Perreaux 2150B? I too have one, sitting in my garage. Thanks for reminding me🤔 | |
| BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER Jperry Jane Fielding kind of reminds me of Margaret Whiting who was it seems a bit more famous than some of the now forgotten girls from the 50's in your link, thanks for that!. Check out "Time After Time" by Margaret very 50's style in delivery t... | |
| BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER Well I'm not too sure that time forgot Ella or Sarah but give it time as all things must pass. Thanks for the link Jperry. P.S. Didn't ever really appreciate Doris Day as a kid, thought her movies, particularly with Rock Hudson were really obnox... | |
| BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER For me, my favorite, range, tone, improv ability which is bottomless and sheer listenability, Sarah Vaughn. Can't argue with any of the above, love Ella too for many of the same reasons as Sarah but less to degree, Sarah was a true genius both voc... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Glad to see you bought into the MIT, Transparent "network" Dave, good for you. I once owned a pair of MIT cables, specifically the 770 for tube electronics, talk about specific for the application. Believe me, no objections, very nice in that syst... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? While we're talking names how about the "Boss" from Asbury Park. My opinion is I have none, there are too many to name one above all. | |
| What do you LIKE BEST about your current audio system? I’m with you Wolf, the part about somehow needing to be better. Communicating the musical message is what matters and all the rest is to degree. Yeah, it could be improved but not in any profound, substantive way that is going to be revelatory, be... | |

| Reference 3A MM De Capo vs Legacy Calibre Tomic601 said"a bit off topic..i looked at website and the high resolution photo of the carbon fiber midrange looks pretty rough.....is that me ?.... or ???"Smooth actually, with a texture not unlike snake skin, if you’re familiar, smooth but wove... | |
| Reference 3A MM De Capo vs Legacy Calibre Hi Changeout, First off my room is larger than yours, 20 x 28x 10' ceiling opening to an adjacent 9x12x10, essentially an L shaped space, excellent accoustically. Low powered tube amps work well with certain types of music and in smaller rooms. Th... | |
| Reference 3A MM De Capo vs Legacy Calibre I've owned a pair of DeCapo BEs for 5 years, I am quite happy with them and they check all the boxes based on the things you require in a speaker, I would add dynamic to the mix as well. They present a realism that is only limited by the upstream ... | |
| The Best Piano Works of the 20th Century Bdp24 if you enjoy the solo piano version of "Pictures", I highly recommendd the Evgeny Kissen recording on RCA. | |
| Time to weed the LPs.... (choosing stuff to dump) Tony vinyl may be "hot" for now but I would add that it will likely, in my estimation, retain a fringe group of enthusiasts because regardless of what naysayers may say "east is east west is west and never the twain shall meet", the analog vs digi... | |
| The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin passes away Lady Soul RIP, great career, her voice aged like a fine wine which is just so rare for any vocalist. One of a kind and a true musical icon. |
