Speaker wire upgrade??
Photon46,Thanks very much for the input. I appreciate your knowledge. 
Amp for Dali Hellicon 400 mk2
I believe the point was that Vienna Acoustics are sold at Best Buy. The bottom line is that no speaker is for everyone. Because one person could not match components with a speaker it should not be taken as fact. Its one persons opinion. And most ... 
Ringo Starr or Charlie Watts???
"I really never noted the Beatles for drumming at all. Funny how some people get it and others don't - I certainly don't get it with Ringo - but I agree he is superb but is he remarkable? Melodies seems to stand out most in my mind coupled with ra...

Photon46, My system is on the revealing side. Which of the many would you recommend in this case? Thanks for the input. 
Coleman Hawkins encounters Ben Webster long

Sound: Dylan's "Biography", the Boss' "LIve 75-85
Dylan Biograph is excellent on vinyl. Listen to it a lot and the sound is full and surprisingly rich for a compilation. Don't know about the CD version. Springsteen vinyl set is good in spots sonically, worth having, and good when turned up loud w... 
When did you know that music was your passion?
Ed Sullivan Show. Feb of 1964 
Remasters: which are the good ones?
The Elton John remasters of his earlier work (and best, by far) are excellent. Especially the SACDs which blow away the originals - even the vinyl. 
The Best Sounding Beatles CDs
I've heard people say that the Parlophone pressings are best but they must be referring to original pressings. I have some later pressings that are very harsh. Best I've heard (and own) are German imports which I bought in the late 70's. Great sm...
