| Anyone know or heard Rane AC 22S Active Crossover? Don't forget about Pass xvr1 active analog crossover | |
| Name three of yours the most favourite drummers Tony Williams,Philly Joe Jones,Art Blakey,Max Roach. I know thats four- couldn't help it. - Jim | |
| Coleman Hawkins encounters Ben Webster long Thank you audiophile 1 for mentioning Dexter Gordon. I agree 100%. I have all of the above. One terribly underated album of his is " Doin allright" Check out the track " I was doin allright" The way he can really swing old school but really dig in... | |
| Coleman Hawkins encounters Ben Webster long Birdies, great recording. | |
| Coleman Hawkins encounters Ben Webster long Thank you for the responses. For any of you who are interested here's a few more exceptional recordings. They are not necessarily the best in terms of musical content ( though they're usualy pretty good) but they are so lifelike you'll think you'v... | |
| Which Sub. Rel B-1 or Fathom F-113 Well I had Rel stadium III, jl 112 and 113 as well as Martin Logan Depth's in my house. Each over 3-4 days. Of the three the Depths were the least appealing. They never integrated properly or sounded like real music. The Jl's were significantly be... | |
| Class A, AB Maich, I didn't mean to imply anything about your listening. I used quotes to emphasize that Gryphon refers to AB that way in their manual. Sorry if I offended you - jim | |
| Class A, AB Gyphon makes several amps that operate pure class A and consequently are very big, very hot , have huge power supplies, and only put 150-175 watts into 8ohm loads due to inherent class A inefficiency. Their power supplies do allow them to double d... | |
| AZ Absolute; which is I use absolute I.C's and there is no edge to female vocals. In fact they are spectacular. I'm using double barrel speaker cable however which is mostly copper so if the edge is from the wire my vote would be for the speaker cable although silver a... | |
| Shootout: AMR CD-77 vs. AR CD7 vs. Wadia 581se There is NO WAY to seperate the various contributions of the various components in these systems to the sounds that you describe. The only way to choose a CD player for your own system is to play it on YOUR system. Human nature might also introduc... | |
| Looking for the "better sub" ROBBOB, here is why I disagree with your stance on high level inputs. I have TRIED both on a very high quality sub ( Wilson Benesch Torus) which allows for both connections and the difference was not noticable. Some people prefer using balanced ou... | |
| Best jazz or blues female vocalist ever Ella was a great jazz singer as was sarah vaughn. In a big band format Ella was IMHO better as she always sang in her head voice and could really swing. In small groups I prefer sarah as she sang from her chest and throat which is really great to ... | |
| Name your favorite sax solo. John Coltrane "Someday my prince will come" with Miles Davis from the album of the same name. He uses accents to imply the melody while playing from so far inside it with such freedom that it just floors me. Truly GREAT (imho) - Jim | |
| Acoustic Zen vs Synergistic Research Try the AZ double barrel. You can find it for less than $1000. For me it is alot better than Satori. Robert Lee told me that he adds some silver to both high and low runs (it's not just a satori over a hologram). The low frequency portion is 8 gau... | |
| Wilson Benesch Chimera vs. Kharma 3.2FE I still own them. CAT would be great. |
