| Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list Carmen McCrae (Sings the Great American songbook)When evaluating new equipment, this is the one I always pull out. If you can find it in Vinyl, all the better. Unbelievable recording of great live jazz. | |
| Should I upgrade my Meridian 508.20 to 24 status Have never owned, nor heard a 508.20....but I owned the 508.24. It was one of most satisfying front-ends I've had in my system, only bettered in absolute terms by the Wadia 850, and only because I was looking for something a little more analytical. | |
