| Norah Jones? In the Yanni, John Tesch, Andre Rieu style. If that's your style, go with it. | |
| Could somebody please explain The_smokester: I live in Berkeley! I'm out of the country until July 1 though. | |
| Somebody Help Convert me to tubes Welcome to the world of tubes! Is there a budget?How about any of the Lamm pre's?Audio Aero Prima DAC? | |
| Could somebody please explain The Smokester: If Bartok clears your friends out of the room, it might be time to seek some more sophisticated listening buddies! |
