Joseph Audio Pulsar Sp. on YOUTUBE-
The song is from the band Springhouse. The song is called "On the Moon" from the album Colville. To the best of my knowledge, it is available only as a digital download from the website: http://thespringhouse.bandcamp.com/album/colville-ten-songs ... 
The most haunting music you ever heard?
Rx8man,There is a music site that has some sample clips that sound virtually identical to your link. The site is royaltyfreemusic.com and a couple of cuts that sound just like the music in that video are titled "waterlands" and "watery grave". You... 
Extremely well recorded jazz double bass? cymbals?
Consider "Trio Jeepy" by Branford Marsalis featuring Milt Hinton on bass and Jeffrey "Tain" Watts on Drums. Good stuff. 
which cowboy junkies cd?
Notop,This is a good followup question to resurrect the original post. I think Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter sound more like the CJs than anyone else does. Dark in mood and tone, featuring Ms. Sykes's moody vocals, Phil Wandscher's reverb he... 
White Substance on Aja 30th Anniversary
Robob,I also have seen this on several new records. It did line up with the inner sleeve glue joints, so I am sure it is from the sleeve. It has had no noticeable sound effect on my albums. I am also pretty sure that it not glue residue itself tha... 
Great and well-recorded jazz on CD
Dexter Gordon "One Flight Up". The long opening cut "Tanya" is worth the price of admission. 
Big Blue Tenor Sax
Right up this alley is most of Ike Quebec's old Blue Note catalog. Check out "Blue & Sentimental" or "Heavy Soul" Both are great, clean sounding recordings. Though older, they both sound as if they were recorded yesterday. Something more curre... 
Cowboy Junkies: Trinity Sessions on Vinyl
Hey Fjn04,Small world. I just received a rather pricey LP from the same seller a couple of days ago. It arrived in perfect condition and the packaging was bulletproof. I left + feedback for the seller through Amazon pointing this out. Glad to hear... 
How low is a piano?
For a quick listen to the lower notes from a Bosendorfer Imperial via iTunes, check out the song "Not Zero: In Three Parts" from Paul Bley's album "Not Two, Not One". It helps to have decent speakers for your computer. Pretty incredible sounding..... 
My ears of tin are over 50
Actually, After taking just a couple of moments to peruse Jim Smith's site I found that the hearing loss at age 50 comment was one of the myths he claims are often accepted as "ACK" (Audiophile Common Knowledge). He is saying that it is not true t... 
Cowboy Junkies junky needs to expand
Awightman1,The closest that I have come across is Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter. Sometimes pidgeon-holed as country noir or goth country, they have a beautiful melancholy sounding lead singer, and play slow, moody, dirge-like ballads and the... 
Advice on mistracking or some problem
How often do you clean your stylus? Do a discussion forum search for Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Magic Eraser can be purchased in the cleaning products dept of a grocery store. They are white, ultrafine textured scouring sponges. A small piece can be ... 
Donald Byrd -- "Mustang " -- A First Listen
Fightingwords,Check out Dexter Gordon's "One Flight Up", recorded in 1964, probably my favorite Blue Note album. Gordon is the headliner, with Byrd on trumpet, Kenny Drew piano, Art Taylor on very prominent drums, and Niels-Henning Orsted on Bass.... 
Which Preamp will go well with Mag 3.6R ?
Jonk78,I've been using a 4BSST for 3 years with my 3.6Rs and couldn't be happier. I'm running a CJ Premier 17LS tubed preamp, and think it is a great combo for my 14w X 23l x 13h room. Rich and lush. Bass response depends a lot on the room and how... 
Stereo Separation - Turntable
Dmloring, This is a long time favorite album of mine. I first bought it on CD many years ago, and it had the extreme hard left and right stereo. Later, I bought a copy of it for a friend, and the newer copy was an RVG remastered version. The Rudy ...
