Go buy Paul Simon's "1 trick pony"
I bought the original LP back in 1980 when it was first released, after really loving the movie. Produced by Phil Ramone, with great musicians ---The record features several top session musicians (who also appeared in the movie as the character Jo... 
Why so underwhelmed by Revel F208 audition???
Hi Earlxtr ..... Congratulations on buying the F-208's ! I've been extremely happy with my Revel F-12's for almost three years now, and am loving the total presentation of these speakers. For a long time, I was the proud owner of Vandersteen 1C's,... 
Bi-wire jumper config
With my Revel F-12's ..... Speltz anti-cables into HF taps, with 6 inch Speltz jumpers to LF taps. Sounds pretty perfect ! 
which $1k used floorstanders for 35wpc tubes?
For quite a while I was extremely happy with Vandersteen 1C's driven by a Rogue Audio Cronus tube integrated. 55 watts as opposed to your 35 watts, but the Vandies will easily sound fantastic with 35 watts of quality tube power. 
Customer Service
Let me add a very special "Bravo !" to Mark and Nick at Rogue Audio. Fantastic service, advice, and guidance whenever needed. Rogue Audio is a pleasure to deal with. 
Need recommendations.. Solo acoustic guitar CDs
Nils Lofgren --- "Acoustic Live" is pretty perfect. Incredible guitar playing and exceptionally well recorded. 
Ortofon 2MBronze; Quintet Red; Vivo Red???
Whatever you decide ---- Good Luck and Happy Listening ! 
Ortofon 2MBronze; Quintet Red; Vivo Red???
Really under the radar ..... but the Nagaoka MP-150 is a great match for the table and arm, and a fantastic value ! I had the Exact 2 on my P3-24 for quite a while, and when the cantilever snapped, it was time for a change. I listened to the Dyna ... 
Rogue Cronus Magnum Tube Rolling
Hi Bajead ..... $ 212 for the five small tubes, and $ 156 for the Gold Lion quad (both prices including shipping with secure bubble wrap and styrofoam packing.) To my ears, in my room, with my system, it was a very worthwhile investment. The new t... 
Rogue Cronus Magnum Tube Rolling
I had a wonderful experience several years ago, dealing directly with Mark and Nick at Rogue Audio. With their guidance and thoughtful advice, I swapped out all the tubes in my non-Magnum Cronus, and the sound of music has been sublime. I replaced... 
Best rock bass player
Yup .... Wasserman plays electric. A really cool electric upright and a more "traditional" electric bass guitar. Listen to his "Duets" and "Trios" albums for some excellent tunes. 
Best rock bass player
Rob Wasserman, a true artist on the bass, but not yet mentioned. And Led Zep would not have been one of the best rock bands of all time without John Paul Jones. First four Allman Brothers Band albums allowed Berry Oakley to show his wonderful tale... 
some of the best speaker cables under $250
Paul Speltz Anti-Cables ..... really, really good, and very affordable ! 
My Triton Ones are being delivered to me tomorrow
Hi Stereo5 .....I'm sorry you're all bummed out now, and it's too bad that this thread has made a turn for the worse. I am very happy for you, and I think your enthusiasm over your new speakers is fantastic ! I wish you many, many hours of listeni... 
A fond farewell to The Allman Brothers Band
Wow ..... That must have been an incredible afternoon. I live about 45 minutes south of Skidmore, and the enjoyment of the wide variety of music in and around Saratoga is still fantastic. Jazz, rock, blues, country, folk, classical, and ballet ......
