| Friday Night In San Francisco - best digital version oregonpapa, he, Eliot Fisk and Sharon Isbin all hit the scene around the same time. Manuel and Eliot are very different players, each with a lot to offer IMO. Manuel is the prototype of the modern, perfect technician but very musical. Again, th... | |
| I am sick of Adele olgny, it seems you think Adele would be better suited to Norah Jones-type arrangements--or am I mis-reading? I'd like to hear Adele with that sort of backing, might be good.bdp24, I'm a big Rondstadt fan (but not of her popular pop/rock years). ... | |
| record cleaning methods...................... Anything decent on the low end? That KL Audio machine is about as much as I have in my entire system (Dynaudio/Rogue/Rega/NAD/Denon). | |
| Friday Night In San Francisco - best digital version oregonpapa, Paco and J. Mc are better as a duo than in the trio IMO. And of course, their individual efforts are often sublime.I love all the Bream/Williams LPs. There's even a live recital on youtube, FWIW. One of my favorite guitar recordings... | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad calvinj, you spend a lot of time telling other people what's going on in their minds. Please share the source of your clairvoyant powers as we'd all like a little bit of that amazing ability. | |
| How can it be that some old recordings sound sublime? Modern live recordings aside, you're talking about two very different things. Once you get very far beyond two mikes and a live recording you're putting together pieces of a puzzle rather than taking a snapshot of an actual event. Non-live with ... | |

| Who are the most underground high-end companies deepee99, past 60 I could hear 11kHZ. I didn't realize that was good. | |
| A brief respite from the usual pablum... I only lasted for 14 seconds. Personally, I'd rather hear PDQ Bach's "Unbegun Symphony." YMMV. | |
| Would you be more likely to buy new gear out of state if there was no sales tax Texas already collects taxes on online purchases in some cases. I think they struck a deal with Amazon and I don't know who else to charge sales tax. I believe they can do this since the distribution centers are in-state. | |

| Should we use ridiculously priced cables to listen to Rap? It was my impression that most of the people here listen to a wide range of styles. But I enjoy and learn from the ones who don't as well as the ones who do. | |
| What are you favorite artists and songs to listen to on your system? ejr1953, you caught me off guard with those comments about the players. Interesting analogies, I'll have to think about those a bit. FWIW I like all four of those violinists. And all four guitarists. | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Your mention of the "southern man don't need him around anyhow" reminds me that "your Cadillac has got a wheel in the ditch and a wheel on the track" is a great line. One of my all-time favorites is the last part of "Positively 4th Street," a cl... | |
| About How Much $ Have You Spent On Your System & Is Your Room Acoustically Treated? 5k, mostly purchased used. Bought a brand new integrated amp last year. I love the way the room sounds as is. I just need more time/opportunities to enjoy the system and the room. Very, very happy with it all and I occasionally hunt for new LP... |
