| Perfect Debute Albums I never realized Ten was Pearl Jam's debut. Knowing this, I would rank it in the the top three of all time best debuts.Now I realize this is probably going to get me boo'ed of the stage but I would nominate Eminem's "Slim Shady LP" as one of the m... | |
| Perfect Debute Albums Two absolute killer debut albums:New Radicals - Maybe you've been brainwashed tooWHAT HAPPENED TO THIS BAND????Freak Power - Drive Tru Booty | |
| Which Vivaldi Four Seasons CD to buy??? I have a few different recordings and really like Fabio Biondi on the Opus 111 label, distributed by Naxos. Excellent sound quality to boot. | |
| a good pre amp with remote usd6000 or less used I would add the Pass labs XP-20 to your list, as well as the 2 chassis Modwright 36.5 The Ref5 is going to set you back at least 8K used, but you can get a Ref3 for less than 6K. | |
| Need Blues Rec--burn the house down guitar stuff How can we not mention mr. blues himself; B.B. King's "Live at the Regal" is a classic, and completely conveys the atmosphere of a live show. | |
| Need Blues Rec--burn the house down guitar stuff For a live experience, you can't do any better than Stevie Ray Vaughan, live in montreux (2 DVD's set); sheer delight. | |
| Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why? I have to go with Stanley Clarke. | |
| What are your favorite SACDs and why? Montejay,I saw the china copy listed on ebay as well. You can also get the complete 8 (I believe) DVDs series . I have it, but I keep coming back to the SACD, becuase they picked some excellent tracks and the sound quality is so much better. If yo... | |

| B&W 802 and Stillpoints I am not quite prepared to spend >1,000 for 8 x ultra for my two subs, but I am seriously considering getting 2 sets of universal dampers and put them on inverted (risers) as a cheaper alternative. | |
| Can you recommend some classical CD's for me? There is so much to recommend I would not know where to start. But given my taste for Beethoven, small ensemble music, and stellar SACD recordings, I heartily recommend Beethoven Piano Trio, Op. 97 ("Archduke"); Piano Trio, Op. 1, No. 3 by the Kem... | |
| the greatest pop song ever? Has to be a song by the "King of pop". For me "Billy Jean" wins the prize, with "Thriller" a not so close second. | |
| Two Jl Audio f113's or one f 212 Get two subs, set them up as a discrete stereo pair + LFE spread across the two. Then get an outboard (SVS / Audessey) 2 channel sub eqalizer, and you'll never look back. | |
| So could HiRez downloads sound as good as SACD? Steve, I agree. There are a lot of variables here making true apples to apples difficult. The closest I can think of is to get the Ayre Universal which plays all formats on silver discs AND had an asynchronous USB input, and then do the expirement... | |
| So could HiRez downloads sound as good as SACD? I did a little format shootout using high rez files from the 2L label. They sell SACD / BR Audio 2 disc packages and have the same material downloadable in 96/24 and 192/24. So using the exact same source material, I played:96/24 flac into bridge ... |
