| Whats on your turntable tonight? Beethoven's Piano Concertos with Glenn Gould at the piano. | |
| Need a smaller, efficient floorstander Consider Audio Note; they run 93 to 95 dB. | |
| Insight w/ kora hermes 24/192 DAC? I thought the Kora DAC a great value. However, I preferred the Audio Note DAC 1.1X at about the same price point. | |
| LP shelf recommendations? You might Google "Tony's woodshop" | |
| Your Favorite Chet Baker Recording "Chet Baker" I adore what he does for the trumpet: purely lyrical. His crew is terrific and includes an ascending Bill Evans. I would agree that this album does benifit in that Chet does not sing. | |

| Tenor amps..."to pre or not to pre" A correction and my apologies audio fans. The M-5 does, indeed, have a volume control and a nice one at that. It does not have a remote capability. When I was a die-hard remote volume control guy and would not even consider a pre amp without a rem... | |
| Tenor amps..."to pre or not to pre" Brian,The M-5 preamp has no volume control; BUT, it is worth getting up for! Peter Q, of AN, has tried remotes and they degrade the sound. Regards,Jim a former M-5 owner and currently an M-6 addict. |
