What are your top 3 favorite female singers?
I'm not quite sure how I picked up a cassette tape of Blossom Dearie all those years ago, doesn't matter.  My girlfriend at the time who was a singer and musically trained at a conservatorium loved me for finding her,

@luvharbeth  Kiri Te Kanawa as well amazing voice ⭐️can I get a Amen? An Amen is not enough.

@richopp Naturally, you meant to type "WHO" not "what" in your post. People are generally referred to as WHO. If you mean ladies who can actually SING as opposed to belting out pop garbage: Not natural at all. Just re-educated, perhaps in Am...

This does seem to be a theme occasionally and one that I enjoy. Adele makes me wanna vomit. I’m sure that there are a variety of legal medications available for people who enjoy her music.

I just adore singers of whatever sex, but especially female. Hmm, that doesn’t read quite right, but I’ll leave it. Today I listened to Amy. And Tori. And Dido (need some kit that can reproduce some really low hz for her). Regina Spektor is very ... 
After fifty years… amazing. What high end audio can be.
 As I always told my customers, if you love it, it is the best system there is! ... it really doesn't matter WHAT you have as long as it delights you every time you listen. Such a shame that bricks and mortar audiophile shops are becoming pass...

quite by accident I stumbled on one of the best possible acoustical spaces… well, actually that my dealer has ever heard (he installs many +$200 K systems), so has more experience than I. Just luck. it is easy to get off on the wrong foot and he... 
Snowballs
@mahler123 The refs were right to stop the game and enforce order. Looking at some soccer highlights from Australia this weekend, it’s clear that the boundary between mischievous fan misbehavior and serious outcomes can be a thin one. Fans o... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
@cd318  it would appear that measurements not only matter but are essential when judging loudspeakers. That little clip is fodder for those wishing to deny the value of measuments in audio.  The guy was so unprepared that he often had to refer... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
No way would I ever leave my kit on if I am not listening. A Black Swan risk, one which is very irresponsible to do.  
Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll
Hot amps are more likely to catch fire. I read that story and my first question would be something about the fuse that was used in the amp that caused such a mess. If there were even the slightest chance that naming the manufacturer would spa... 
Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll
Having said that, I look forward to consulting with the dude who makes March Audio amps.  Class D technology is something to think about for anyone seeking nirvana, should one understand how appropriate components have to be matched. Otherwise, ... 
Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll
I love my EL34 push pull bespoke integrated amp. 6CA7, whatever. I think it uses about 300 watts. Should things warm up I flick on the air conditioning which draws about 2000 watts. I’m fortunate to have a dedicated transformer on the power pole... 
Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll
@brianh61  Thanks for all the answers so far, the consensus with this small sampling is still what I expected,  Of course.  You ask leading questions. By the way, the word heat is not a proper noun and so there is no reason why it ought to be...
