| Cowboy Junkies Best Songs As a Cowboy Junkies fan, I could not limit myself to just six. But "Studio, 1986-1995" is a Greatest Hits album of sorts, and MANY of there best songs are on there. Good Luck. Craig | |
| Terry Evans and the Blues Issabre, Winoguy, Gregm; Thanks for the recommendations and for keeping this thread alive. Winoguy, I have "Shake Hands with Shorty" and agree it's great. Cheers. Craig | |
| The Cowboy Junkie, anyone??? "The Caution Horses" on CD. I also agree with "Studio- 1986-1995" CD; this is close to a greatest hits album and is well recorded. "The Trinity Session" is great music and certainly one of the 'Junkies best, but it has a little too much recording ... | |
| Best Log in name?? Onhwy61. No doubt-- hey, I'm a bluesman. Cheers. Craig | |
| Why"double blind"tests don't work:brain? Hi Elizabeth; good thread. I believe the typical aupiophile becomes intimately familiar with their own systems, in their own rooms, and with their own music. And in that environment they can easily detect pretty small changes/differences. I know t... | |
| Tube preamps under 2K with 2 outputs? Sonic Frontiers Line 1 and Line 2 each have two pair of outputs. The Line 1 can be had used for $1000-1200., and the Line 2 for about $1600-1800. These pre-amps also sound great, have excellent headphone sections, and great remotes. Cheers. Craig | |
| What Are Your Audio Morals? Fpeel-- such language :>) What did we do before the advent of the internet? Personally, I've only used i-net purchasing for the last year and a half or so. Prior to that, I used a combination of a good local dealer (and their annual 20% off sal... | |
| Cable Supenders - Anyone Try Vibrapods? I have tried putting Vibrapods under my cables (on carpet over wood floor) and could hear no difference so I removed them. They looked sort of tacky IMO. It seems to me that there are two considerations that need to be addressed, vibrations and st... | |
| Cowboy Junkies "Open" opinions Lak; I'm beginning to get PO'ed-- no CJ CD yet, and not only that, above posts suggest it's "poor". I'm hoping for a signed copy;>) Craig | |
| Best Preamp w/ Headphone Jack .......agree with Sonic Frontiers-- either Line 1 or Line 2. I have both-- they are excellent pre-amps and the headphone section of both are great. I use them with Senn. 600s also.BTW, the Line 1 and 2 sound an awful lot alike with the Line 2 havi... | |
| Best Rainy Day music Cowboy Junkies "The Caution Horses". This CD is also my favorite music for "tough times" (Issabre; if you're interested I think you could search this under "tough times")-- a thread I started awhile ago. Cheers. Craig. | |
| Cowboy Junkies "Open" opinions .......in my above post, it should be "Studio, 1986-95". Puddles; I also ordered right away from the Junk Store-- maybe I'll "get lucky" and get a signed copy. I didn't know they were doing that.Cornfed; re your comments above, their new CD sounds... | |
| System sounds better at night? My system goes into this super quiet hyper-drive mode about 11 PM every night-- it's a well known phenomenon among audiophiles as Sean notes above.As to achieving this quality during the day; putting in a dedicated AC system, ground system, high q... | |
| Who is the sexiest female vocalist? Hi Dds_hifi; Nice thread. I would agree with Diana Krall for today, but from some years ago, I would nominate Roberta Flack singing "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"-- this song leaves me nearly breathless-- and it's over 5 minutes long. It's ... | |
| Cowboy Junkies "Open" opinions Rhljazz; Interestingly, I have all of Cowboy Junkies CDS, and my three favorites are not even on your list. I like 1) "Caution Horses", 2) "Waltz Across America", 3) "Studio, 1975-86. But I still like those you've listed. I don't have "Open" yet--... |
