Your First Concert was.....
The Clash! What a great show! A little known band at the time Los Lobos opened for them and was pretty much booed off the stage. The next night I saw KISS and I couldn't hear for a week! I think it was back in 83, not a bad weekend for a kid in th... 
Anyone see Jamie Cullum & LA Phil Hollywood Bowl
Wow Tboooe, Nice set up. Just checked it out. You stated you were into female vocalists. Have you checked out Jane Monheit? She has a great voice, and is easy on the eyes. If you get a chance to see her live, go! I just saw her for the second time... 
Anyone see Jamie Cullum & LA Phil Hollywood Bowl
I didn't catch the show. But I have seen him twice and both times he was amazing. I saw him once at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. Which has outstanding acoustics. Jamie even commented on it and played without a microphone for a short t...

I heard about the passing this afternoon on NPR. We have lost another great one. The first thing I did when I got home today was to sit in the sweet spot and listen to "Let's Go Get Stoned". Has to be one of my favorite songs by him. He will be mi... 
what to use to angle a center channel speaker down
Lovan makes a small stand called a "center director". It is used to angle a center channel up. But I am using one backwards to angle a speaker down. Seems to work well for me. Only down side is no angle adjustment. But it does adjust to accomodate... 
Review: Pioneer DV-563A Universal Disc Player CD Player
Great review. I have been considering picking one up. For the price, how can you go wrong. I have seen these units on the open box table at the local Circuit Shity for $99. Hell the cables to hook it up would cost more than the unit. Might be wort... 
I could use some jazz mentoring.
Check out some Roy Hargrove. Two I can recommend are. "Parker's Mood", Hargrove with Christian McBride and Stephen Scott. Great cd. And "Roy Hargrove with Strings". 
Would Audiogoners be interested in this?
I think it is a good idea. Maybe the sister site can do something with DVD's. 
Vandersteen question
Don't know much about the issue you are dealing with. But before you get them. Make sure your room is large enough. First order crossovers need some distance between you and the speakers for them to integrate correctly. I have had 1Bs for more tha... 
Nora Jones new CD -- Copy Protection -- YIKES
I just burned a copy for my personal use. I have a Mac. Guess there is no problem with iTunes. I was doing some surfing on Ebay and found someone selling this disc. Couldn't see the label very well. But looked like it denoted that it was copy prot...
