| Three best Dylan albums??? Impossible to pick which are best, so I will base my list on which ones I logged the most hours with.1) Infidels: My first dylan, played the tape until it disintegrated, the CD version sounds like crap on my system now.2) Slow train coming: Maybe ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Jmlab Grand Utopia | |
| New to seperates...need suggestions I suggest replacing your speakers first. Your choice of speaker will (arguably) make the biggest difference in sound. You can then later upgrade to a suitable amp to drive them, since your choice of amp will be dictated in part by what your speake... | |
| Cable maker Mike Schott in Auburn? If y'all come down to Alabama, we'll teach you how to spell impedance. If you stay a while, we'll teach you what it means. | |
| hum in system, ground loon? 60hz? I have had an incredible hum caused by my cable connection. (as in Cable TV) | |

| Music for "Tough Times" Other feel-good hits are: Me first and the Gimme Gimmes, "Have a Ball" and Sarah McLachlan, "Rarities, B-side & other stuff".I have to agree with Cornfedboy too, Ani's Dilate is an excellent album. | |

| B W, JM LAB, or RBH I have heard the Cobalts side by side with the Electra 905's. I much prefer the Electras. Although you give some of the bottom end, the electras do suprisingly well at bass. I thought the Elecras ruled over Cobalts in mids and overall clarity. I a... |
