Modern day female jazz recommendations
Albert, I saw Rachael mentioned (on AA) about a week ago and fell in love with what I have heard. I hope some great vinyl is in her future as I think it would certainly sell well. For 23 years old, she has potential for greatness.Steve

Speakers for Shanling mc-30, recs?

I use Altec 604-8G studio monitors (1975) with a pair of McIntosh tube monos and to me they reproduce music very well. Very realistic to my ears. I guess that is why there are so many manufacturers of speakers. I believe a great deal of the music ...
