| Jazz for aficionados If anyone enjoys Milt Jackson as I do,this recording sounded beatiful last night."Big Bags" Milt fronting a large jazz band and playing arrangements by Tadd Dameron and Ernie Wilkins. On the Riverside label from 1962, nice CD.Regards, | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Keith,I don`t believe stating one`s honest opinion is simplification. I`ve heard various Magicos 6 different times(CES 2 years,RMAF, and special dealer presentations) and have concluded I don`t like their sound.You like them and that`s also fine, ... | |
| What reviews do you trust if any? I also like the 6 Moons review approach.Good pictures,clear detail concerning,design,built quality and the designer`s objectives. They consistently make comparisons to competitor components and are willing to criticize when needed.I like Jack Robe... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Hi Germanboxers,You are on a roll with amplifiers LOL. I look forward to your observations. I imagine the Audion will have the "shove" Phil refers to. It should be much fun with these three amplifiers all in house at once and contrasting the diffe... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Phil,As the owner of the "merely" 4 figure Frankenstein I clearly understand your point. I spent 4 days at CES this year and the direction of a segment current High End sensibilities is toward a ultra detail-uber resolution (lack of organic charac... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Cyrus,I was using the ASI Liveline and it was very good.The HFC-CT1 series is special.Regards, | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz 5% is a reasonable charge if it allows a home audition( two weeks) and actual comparison with other cables,what`s a better way to find out? It eliminates the guessing and speculation.If you believe the Taralabs is in a different league, just compa... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Spirit, I believe the Robert Koda preamp is solid state, Ypsilon makes both tube and SS.Regards, | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? Lacee,I don't understand the ridicule you experienced on another forum.If others have different results (and some will) that doesn't change your own experience. Why is that hard for others to accept? The 160.00 I spent for the three SR fuses was a... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz It was very easy to get a pair fromThe Cable Company for a two week audition. The fee charged is 5% of the product retail value and shipping. It was worth it for me. After reading all the positive testimonials on this site I just had to try them i... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Phil,I much appreciate your in depth and thoughtful impressions. Ironically I've heard the flagship Lamm ML3(139K) in detail on two separate occasions but not the 18 watt ML2.2. Lamm is interesting from a market value perspective. The ML3 does sou... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Thanks Keith,It would be interesting to hear the Lamm and phil's Audion (or another 845 of similar quality) and compare/contrast ln a system with the amplifiers as the only variable. Different output tube and circuit, they'd have to vary in presen... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Mrmb,You make a good point about audiophile vocabulary as it's easy to cross into hyperbole. I'd say these cables truly excel at providing a sense of realism compared to many other components. If rick were to offer an even higher level cable it st... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Phil,Thanks for your reply.Given similar power (though not price) do you find the LAMM SET amp presentation the same as your preferred 845 amplifiers or is it a different animal? Regards, | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman you have good taste,Pepper Adams is a wonderful musician and I have numerous recordings with him as leader and sideman.I also love his utilization of the lower register of the majestic baritone sax. Gerry Mulligan is equally accomplished w... |
