NEW Tanita Tikaram 'Sentimental' April 2005
I have listened to Ancient Heart over and over again. Great album for sure. I'm not sure why I never followd her up on subsequent albums. I guess it's time to go shopping.P. 
Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Grand
I had a listen to the new Beethovens through some Macintosh gear a couple of weeks ago. I was suitably impressed. Excellent dynamics and decent enough low bass. I am wondering now what the Mahlers would be like.Paul 
Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Power Handling?
I just listened to a set of these yesterday and was amazed with them. They were being run with a 400W Macintosh amp. During the listening session it was run into clipping on one of the louder passages of a Reference Recording CD. This did not seem... 
What's your profession? Age?
Consultant for inspections of oil/gas pipeline systems. 41 years old. (Still wondering how that happened so fast?!?) Never really did a tally on the equipment, and don't know if I want to. Wife might find out... 
Shunyata Snakebite
It would appear that you have been "snakebit". Sorry, but I just couldn't resist.... ;-)I suppose in any case, if the cable was a good deal, and it is meeting your needs, it doesn't really matter.P. 
Shunyata Snakebite
When I talked to Music Direct he did indeed say that it was different than the Diamondback. FWIW he said that the Diamondback would be quieter. This will be my first aftermarket PC so will post my findings comparing it to the stock POS cable when ... 
Shunyata Snakebite
O.K. I've ordered up a Snakebite even though I had no responses to my post. I now feel it is my duty to let everyone know how this baby stacks up to other cables. So if anyone has any other cool cables please send them to me so I can do some compa... 
what's your favorite album cover?
I've always loved Dark Side Of The Moon so that gets my vote. Liked it so much I had it tatooed on my leg. "weak moment but no regrets"Paul 
Sonic Frontiers Line 2SE vs. SFL2
I have the SFL2 and was wondering the same thing about the Line 2. As I have bought Sonic Frontiers gear since their inception, they were quite honest with me and told me that they thought the SFL2 bettered the Line 2 and was very close in sonics ... 
What is your favorite low-tech tweek?
I used to clean my connections regularly with a product called Cramolin. Eventually it was discontinued. (at least I couldn't find it any more) I started to think that it was possibly just the act of disconnecting and reseating the connection that... 
Where R U?????
Detroit Lakes Minnesota. About an hour East of Fargo, ND, and about 2 1/2 hours West of Minneapolis. Pretty slim pickin's for stereo shops, or people to listen with around here. Wife thinks the $80.00 boom box is just fine. :-(Paul 
Most achingly-beautiful music
Right on Brownie. That is a beautiful recording of The Planets. I also have to go along with previous posts about Margo Timmins of The Cowboy Junkies, (Sweet Jane), as well as putting forward Maggie Reilly on some of the Mike Oldfield albums (eg F... 
New arm recommendations?
The reason that I am interested in a linear tracking arm is mostly due to the fact that I had one on my Delphi, and I was quite pleased with it. I originally had an RB300 on it, and upgraded to an ET2. There was a noticeable difference to say the ...
