| Best Rock Drummers I just realized there are two pages of responses to this thread that go back to 2006. Someone else picked the same drummer with the same comment that I made (i.e. "...withouta doubt"). Also, I checked the date and noticed it was written on my birt... | |
| Best Rock Drummers Keith Moon (The Who), without a doubt. | |
| What cd player to choose Considering your budget, I'd recommend a used Sony (CD/DVD) DVP9000ES. They sell for around $300 used and you get video as a bonus. | |
| High end audio dealer in San Jose, CA The Analogue Room is your best bet. Great vinyl selection (as the name implies). Although the Audible Difference has reopened in a new location, it is still stuck up and arrogant, IMHO (of course). | |

Without a speed/pitch control you're stuck with the sound you hear. Using the control, you can vary the speed which... | |
| Would like your expert opinion please This thread sounds familiar, and recently familiar at that.Anyway, get the Nakamichi. The PA-5/PA-7s are bulletproof.You'll be glad that you kept your system all Nak. Nothingwrong with the Yamaha but I believe you will be happier with the Nakamichi. | |

| Please help a Novice There's plenty of good advice here already but $300-$500 will buy you a decent entry-level set of speakers at Best Buy. If you're looking for value, look here on Audiogon for used speakers. They depreciate quickly and you will find speakers in you... | |
| Rega, Music Hall or VPI Of the names you mention, get the VPI, definitely! | |
| Thanks R.E.M. I just read that R.E.M. is splitting up. Very sad! I was introduced to them by my daughter more than 20 years ago.We have seen them live many times and will miss their concerts. My favorite albums are from their middle-period,Automatic for the Peo... | |
| Does anyone know about SF Stereo and Theater? As I now recall, Willy was a partner in Stereo Plus (in SF)not SF Stereo. However, he was well connected and may be able to locate the techs that did the mods on your MF DAC. | |
