You often read in reviews about so and so equipment being great but caution, will make bad recordings unlistenable. I've had a few amps, and there aren't many that can make dissonant music like the Beatles white album (Helter skelter for instance), or say Captain Beefheart sound decent. I've just bought a valve/Audio note combo and this is out of the question for this type of music, but so far its showing its true worth with rendering jazz very lilfelike, which is great. So I'm after another - cheaper - set up of integrated amp and stand mount speakers for those cherished 'bad recordings'! Listen to smaller bands too on Independent labels, where perhaps access to a decent studio was unaffordable.
