| Rega Hal - preamp outs It doesn't appear this preamp is very common, but since I received a response to my questions from Rega, I'll post them here in case somone else is looking in the future. My questions to them included :1) Can you provide the definition of how the ... | |
| Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo Duane Allman on "Loan Me a Dime" from Boz Scaggs first album. the rythm accompaniment on it is pretty right on too.(sorry if someone already said this . . I didn't spot it above) | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? I agree with Serus on the Infinity Monitor II's. I bought mine in '76 for $500, and still can't part with them. I'll also add B&K M200 Sonata monoblocks - available used only for a steal. | |

| Dead Can Dance's Into the Labyrinth I've bought no less than 6 new CD's as a result of this thread. All of them good. One of them I picked up is my favorite of the bunch - it's Lisa Gerrard and Patrick Cassidy: "Immortal Memory". I picked it up somewhat accidentally while surfing Am... | |
