| Tubes/SS Power Amps? Atmasphere, I had an SS amp that began to run hot, so I put a fan on it. The hotter it got, the better it sounded. I put two fans on it, next it caught fire taking two new woofers with it. That was the first and only amp I've ever owned that caugh... | |
| Jazz for aficionados With a combination like Jon Hendricks, Al Jarreau, George Benson, and Bobby McFerrin doing Miles Davis's music, what's there not to like. It's on order.Less McCann "Swiss movement" is also on order.As you know by now, I'm not a "traditionalist", c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, music with me is never isolated, I always associate the music with what was going on in my life, and everything I would see at the time that music was popular. "Boogie Woogie" was popular when I was a child, and I can even visualize the Packa... | |
| Tubes/SS Power Amps? I will never forget one of my most enjoyable afternoons at a high end emporium. It was late October and a bit chilly in the small auditioning theater, when a customer came in requesting a big CJ tube amp. That amp put out as much heat as a small f... | |
| Tubes/SS Power Amps? I noticed that no one responded to my mention of Stereophile's ratings of equipment by Class "A", "B", and "C". First and foremost, I am not pushing the magazine; however, I subscribed for years, and during that time I went to high end emporiums t... | |
| Tubes/SS Power Amps? Phaelon, I'm well aware of what you were speaking of and class AB probably sounds as good as A, and runs much cooler. Class A is too extreme as far as heat is concerned, and I wouldn't have one. After all is said and done I'll probably end up with... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "A Night In Tunisia", from the LP, "The Cooker" by Lee Morgan, has to be the most fantastic version of that jam ever. It features Lee Morgan on trumpet; Pepper Adams, Baritone sax; Bobby Timmons, piano; Paul Chambers, bass; and Philly Joe Jones, d... | |
| Jazz for aficionados While Paquito wasn't "Afro Cuban", it was still music that had a Cuban flair, and I'm thinking about ordering it. Dorothy Donegan's "Boogie Woogie" was historic and interesting as well.Say "Lena Horne", and I think "Stormy Weather"; yes she was ve... | |
| Tubes/SS Power Amps? When there were such places as "High end emporiums", I spent so much time in those places, that my wife swore I was seeing another woman; she couldn't believe that I was obsessed with "high end sound". This was at the same time I began to subscrib... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Charles1dad, after going on "You tube" I placed an order for "Big Bags". In regard to the sonics, your credentials as an "audiophile" are well established.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados "BTW, you just destoryed my rep as a 'reviewer'. Thanks!Rok2id "Rok, I really appreciate your playlist, it helps me to decide on new CD's.This is a "jazz" music forum, and the music Rok recommended is some fantastic jazz.While Rok and I disagreed ... | |
| Audible Illusions 3A vs Belles 28A Why would you go from tubes to SS? | |
| A good amp for Tannoy speakers I'm using PrimaLuna mono blocks and my speakers have a 92db sensitivity, and I'm quite satisfied. Yours have a 93db efficiency; I don't think 1db will make hardly any difference. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Etta Jones, one of my favorite singers, was never married to Houston Person, although they had a very strong musical bond and friendship.I bought "Don't Go To Strangers" in 66, and it has many personal memories, I still have that LP plus a new one... | |
| Most expensive piece of vinyl you acquired is? I've just gotten back into vinyl in a big way, and I don't want to spend a lot of time looking for used records; can somebody give me a "heads up" on the various qualities of new vinyl? |
