| Newbie needs help on Audio Research and DynAudio Quality I'm a little surprised no one has mentions the Rega CD Player. You could have the best equipment in the world strung together and if the source component isn't on the same level it'll just sound like a common stereo. I suggest that you not rule ... | |
| Ray Thomas has Passed I agree with everyone about the extreme delay in the induction of the Moody Blues into the Hall of Fame. It’s an egregious over-site and long over due. The MB’s had countless hit songs on the radio for 20+ years straight. How they could be overloo... | |
| Good Bass Recordings on CD for Subwoofer Testing +1 on the Keb Mo Slow Down album. It has exceptional separation of instruments and fantastic low-end bass lines. This is absolutely one of the best recordings for bass I've ever heard. Check out the cut "Soon as I get Paid". This album is one ... | |
| Sgt.Pepper special on PBS Loved that special! Definitely a cut above any other rock documentary I've ever seen. | |
| Gregg Allman passed away today +1 on the Muscle Shoals documentary--world class.Absolutely a great loss! "Time goes by like pouring rain"RIP Greg. Thank you for making the sound track of this lifetime that much better. The Allman’s were just GREAT!To all, can you imagine if you... | |

| Best Debut Albums I can't believe it took so long for someone to mention:The Beatles - Please Please MeProbably the most historically important of all the above mentioned - literally the fuse. | |
| Do you admit that you ever enjoyed listening to: I agree with exactly what Vindanpar said about the Carpenter's. Wouldn't give them the time of day, back in the day. Now I listen to them and am bowled over by the quality of Karen's voice and the professional and artful production of the songs.... | |

| THE most sonically dissappointing (lp) you own of great music? Ditto on Yes "Tales"! What great music, what terrible remastering. Most of the old Yes (prior) to the nineties is really poor now. The original record albums were fantastic. | |
| Tube advice Upscale Audio has a very rigorous tube testing and matching process. Unless you have money to throw away, I’d definitely purchase tubes from Upscale Audio, or Jim McShane. I have more experience with Kevin at Upscale Audio, but Jim McShane also ha... | |
| Obscure bands Gonna have to give a +2 to Jade Warrior. I'm impressed that someone brought that one up! A fantastic band from the 70's in the prog rock arena out of Britain. Supremely creative. Steve Winwood got involved with them trying to get them on the ma... | |
| Best Pre-amp for $500?? In the theme of dinasty, the Parasound AVC-2500. Does everything you're asking for. Originally $3500.00, used $400ish, maybe even less. You didn't specify what digital in's you needed. The AVC-2500 does not have hdmi, but it does have optical,... |
