Love Audio Love Cars
Plato, during the time I owned the GSR I had a chance to drive my friend's NSX. It was around midnight Christmas Eve and the roads in Southern California were pretty empty so I had a chance to open her up. The seating and cockpit of this car fit m...

Rhljazz, so you own the very first 3.2 litre E36. Mine is the very last. It's Titanium Silver. Where are you located? I could use a good shop, hopefully you're close to me in Los Angeles, CA. :-)Plato, I had a red GSR and it got stolen three days ... 
Every make a purchase you truly regret?
Dekay, I bet the worse part of the $12.50 you spent was hauling all that stuff back home. 
Every make a purchase you truly regret?
Yeah, I purchased a Talon Audio ROC 2002 sub from someone on Audiogon. I never received it and it took almost four months to get a refund. Last time I'll pay the manufacturer directly to handle the deal. Pretty disappointing considering I paid for...

Rhljazz, which M3 do you own? E30, E36 or the new E46? I have a '99 E36 myself, and it's my daily commuter. I think the older E30s were pretty damn cool.Plato, I owned a '96 GSR and loved the sound of that motor at full song. I really believe that... 
I need a recording with a good drum solo .
Avguygeorge, "They Only Come Out At Night" with Frankenstein by Edgar Winter is the first album I ever bought.

Oops, I forgot. Maidaiko Aska Gumi does have one woman in their troupe.

Slipknot1, thank you. I'll definitely look into those recommendations. When percussion and drums are done right and played back on a hirez setup, it can be down right spooky.I never had the chance to see Ondekoza or Kodo live, but I've managed to ... 
Tube Preamps under $1000 used
Damn Marco!!! The way you love your tubes I'll bet you gotta clean 'em after every listen! Be cautious when downloading any pics of 6922s. Pete Townshend got in big trouble for downloading those little buggers.Cmidnight, I used to own Concertinos ... 
Tube Preamps under $1000 used
Cmidnight, if you think you'd find a soft glowing blue circle, large round cherry knobs and a pair of 6SN7 tubes sexy, I'd suggest the Blue Circle BC21 as well. Sugarbrie knows I love mine. 
Brahms and Tchaikovsky
Ahh, this is good stuff to know. One of my favorite pieces is Tchaikowsky's Piano Concerto No.1. I also enjoy Rachmaninoff, Scriabin and Mussorgsky as well. Thanks.

Slipknot1, you're on to some cool stuff. A friend of mine here in the Los Angeles area was trained by members of Ondekoza many years back and is one of the directors of her own troupe called Zendeko. The Rhythm Devils CD is neat too. I also think ... 
Musical Sub Suggestions
In addition to the above statements, I think your wife will appreciate the looks of the REL as well. 
Best bi-wire speaker cables under $1000
Hi Bryan, after trying Analysis Plus Bi-Oval 9 and Virtual Dynamics Audition Biwired, I now am enjoying great success with biwired Acoustic Zen Hologram II. Although I only have about three weeks on them, I can say they are very full sounding with... 
A pair of "warm sounding"6922 tub
I've tried a few different Siemens 6922s and CCas, but eventually settled on the much cheaper Mullards. The Siemens were very transparent with extended highs, but sounded too lean in my system. The Mullards have a much fuller character with a slig...
