| ever been duped ordering "new" CDs on Amazon? I buy +/- 50 CDs a year thru Amazon and have never had the problem (that I spotted, anyway). I choose to buy, rip, and send the original to the car, rather than download, burn, and send to the car. Not sure what kind of animal that makes me...Marty | |
| Any Integrated Amps w/Phono & 100-200 Watts Power? The HK 990 can be had new for $1500 (if you look around) and meets your criteria. It is, however, a very different animal - basically a full blown AVR, less any radio functions and set up for 2(.2) channel duty. An odd hybrid, but a great idea IMH... | |
| guitar solos where less is more Yikes! - I forgot to mention a couple of top line choices here:George Harrison - "Something". Simple, elegant, and purely in service to the song.The other side of that coin might feature Chuck Berry's solo on "Johnny B Goode". Short, simple and PE... | |
| guitar solos where less is more There's a couple of approaches that could satisfy the "less is more" description. Here are a few guitar solos that are short (less) and that don't feature rapid playing (less, again), but really serve the song (more):Todd Rundgren - "I Saw The Lig... | |
| Your perfectly produced/performed studio rock song Another choice: "The Theme from Shaft" by Isaac Hayes. Panpotting raised to an art form. | |
| Your perfectly produced/performed studio rock song Good Vibrations also deserves to be mentioned here. | |
| Best Live Album Ever... Ooops!Not only is the website not called Beeswing.com (it was beesweb.com), it seems to be gone, now.The new URL for Richard Thompon direct sales is:http://www.richardthompson-music.com/ | |
| Best Live Album Ever... A lot of good calls here, already. One more thought:Richard Thompson has done a bunch of great live records, and one or two have already been mentioned above. However, the one I find myself returning to most often is "Two Letter Words", available ... | |

| old vs new pre-processors of same brand IMHO, the most audible difference will be the room correction/subwoofer integration via Audyssey (particularly xt32 on the higher end models) on the newer models. IME it will swamp any performance delta in the DACs themselves - particularly if (as... | |
| audiophile rockers Re: Tom PettyA friend who (until recently) worked at Warner Bros once commented to me that Petty's the label's pickiest guy (on sound) by far.Marty | |
| audiophile rockers I remember hearing that Cat Stevens mastered with Maggies, too. Can't swear it's true tho. | |
| Two JL F112's or two Rythmik F15's? Irv,If a pair of 12" Rythmiks weren't well under half the price of a pair of 12" JLs, I probably wouldn't have gone there either - home trial or no home trial. Buy, unpack, set up, evaluate, re-pack, re-ship a big ass box...maybe not. However,....... | |
| Two JL F112's or two Rythmik F15's? I use a pair of Rythmik F12 subwoofers in my system.Before Audyssey I used them with ARC electronics (LS25 and VT130SE). IIRC, I briefly used them without room EQ, but only briefly. Honestly, that set-up was in use too briefly to comment usefully ... | |
| Two JL F112's or two Rythmik F15's? I use a pair of Rythmik 12" subs in a similar sized room for music only. They are integrated to main speakers (MMGs or Ohm 100) via an Audyssey XT32 equipped pre-pro. In this application, integration is seamless and bass performance is (to my ear)... |
