| Does sound travel better at night? I agree with the cleaner AC, but I do not think that it plays such a big part. Less distraction, both visual and sonics, better concentration on the sound ''images'' as it takes up your whole space, and a certain release from the tension of the wo... | |
| What is the best Frank Sinatra CD? Try Sinatra live at the Sands - bursting with energy and as a bonus, he sings with the great Count Basie orchestra playing. It is both spectacular and intimate...and a must listen for Sinatra fans. I think it has THE greatest ever performance of '... | |
| A "Unique" Voice... You want unique? Try William Shatner on his ''Has Been'' CD http://www.shatnerhasbeen.com/ ...it's more like a monologue, but it's very effective...like the magazine Performing Songwriter wrote: He has battled Klingons with his bare hands, he has ... | |
| Suggestions on best Tony Bennet CD I own the Tony Bennet Unplugged SACD (available on standard cd also). It sparkles with energy. It's a nice one to listen to. | |
| Preamp $600-$1000 Sonic Frontier Line 1. No contest. Between $ 875.00 and $ 1,000.00. Incredible build quality for the price, a remote ''puck'' that is a work of art, built-in Headroom headphone amp circuit, reversible polarity switch on the remote, programmable in... | |

| Tube rolling in Cayin A-88T I also own this great amplifier. In addition to the stock tubes, I own a quad set of tung-sol re-issues 6550, and a quad set of Svetlana KT-88's. Both sets outperform the stock tubes handily. the Tung-sol are lush and a bit warm-sounding, but have... | |
| High end amp - my last step Crazy idea...With that kind of budget, I would spend only $ 10,000 on the amp and preamp. Just for fun, I browsed what is available right here on the 'Gon. How about this, Tenor Audio Classic monoblocks for $ 7,550 (original retail over $ 27,000) ... | |
| What to get freinds into on the cheap? I would keep it simple, here are three ''system recommendations, along the old ,'Good' ''Better'' ''Best'' method employed by Radio Shack 2O years ago ! Taking into account the goals of an ''inexpensive'' system of course:''Good'' A NAD 320BEE int... | |
| McIntosh - is it that great? This has been said before, but Mac is the Harley Davidson of audio. Not the fastest, most reliable, smoothest or best out there, but you ARE buying a piece of American culture. Those who defend McIntosh do it with the loyalty of a cult following, ... |
