Paul is Done
He gets little notice for his guitar playing and his arranging.  Check out his one-man version of "Surfer Girl" on youtube (played at a Brian Wilson tribute concert).  I think it's brilliant. 
The Best Piano Works of the 20th Century
Bartok sonata, Alban Berg Sonata. 
CD player just tanked.
You can get a reconditioned (with full warranty) NAD player that sounds great on your budget.  I did and loved it for years till the drawer started acting up a bit.  I then compared the sound to an older OPPO DVD player (which plays SACDs) which I... 
Tube suggestions for hybrid integrated amp
Update:  I've had the Tung-sol tubes in for a little over a week.  The difference is more dramatic than I expected.  Better separation of the instruments, warmer/smoother sound overall without loss of detail and a sumptuous low end (so much so tha... 
What is being said at the 1:59 mark of this song?
He's saying the title of the song ("Kuda") and then it's repeated electronically, like an echo. 
the guess who vs the rock and roll hall of fame
I have as big a problem with some of those who are in rather than those who are not in, especially artists who had one or two hits and whose music is a far cry from rock and roll.That said, I like the Guess Who and feel that as a multi-hit band th... 
Tube suggestions for hybrid integrated amp
I just got off the phone with Andy.  A pair of NOS Tung-Sol tubes will be headed my way later this week.  Thanks again for everyone's help on this. 
Tube suggestions for hybrid integrated amp
I'll give Andy a call.  Hopefully he'll have some idea of how different tubes might affect the sound of my setup.   Thanks to all who have responded. 
Vinyl - Hearing The Beginning of the Song One Revolution Earler
I've noticed this phenomenon since I was a kid.  I thought it was an LP-only thing as I don't recall hearing it on CD's made from tape masters. 
Please Read and express your feelings and opinions....
Sports and political forums might be the worst offenders in this regard.  I've mostly thought of Audiogon as one of the more civil.  I try to behave well on this site but I know I have lost it from time to time.  Threads like this should help IMO. 
Trouble in Fleetwood Mac.......
I'm a fan of the original four (and later five) piece band with Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan on guitars.  That band had an amazing sound.  I sometimes hear traces of it in the music of Los Lobos and ZZ Top.  Lots of talented musici... 
Neil Young - Guitarist
You know they have classical music competitions--the Cliburn piano competition being among the best-known.  I think it's generally accepted that a great deal of both technique and musicality are required to do well.  I don't see why a list such as... 
Neil Young - Guitarist
Okay, so they had him ranked around #15 I think.  If you look at the list of people he is in front of you'll see how ridiculous this is.  He's good, he's interesting but top 100 he ain't.  I would list some people who I don't listen to as much as ... 
Neil Young - Guitarist
If I may add--though I like his playing, I don't know if Neil would make my top 100 
Neil Young - Guitarist
Neil has a unique style which is not for everybody.  It's easy to parody but impossible to really duplicate.   If you didn't like it 50 years ago you're not going to like it any better now.  Personally I liked it then and now.  He's no great techn...
