| Spanish Guitar good call by Quadophile . . . "Friday night in San Francisco" by Delucia, Dimeola and McLaughlin has been mentioned in other Guitar threads here. I finally picked up a copy. It won't disappoint. The first cut will blew me away in the first minute,... | |

| Contour option on Rotel RC-1070 preamp I use to have this preamp. I recall trying the contour only once or twice, noticed some, but not a great amount of difference. I always left it in flat position when playing though. Someone else may be a more credible source on your question about... | |
| ebay vs audiogon I've done over 100 deals on ebay, and only 5 (so far) on A'gon, mostly because I didn't find out about audiogon sooner. I've had good experience with ebay, but you really do need to be careful what you're bidding on and who you're dealing with. Th... | |
| Top "covers" Cowboy Junkies have done covers of many artists, with results I think are better than the original. There was a gime cd included with their most recent release. It's called 'neath your covers" my favorite tracks:#1) Thunder Road (Springsteen)#4) D... | |
| Why do they always play so loud in hifi showrooms? interesting . . . but in my experience (which is actually limited) with my local hi end audio store, they don't usually turn it up loud enough. I invariably have to ask them for more volume. | |
| What music do you want to play really loud? I agree with Sean, I think all music has it's own best volume level. I differ from Tvad however on Josh Grohban - play him loud, so the walls shake. | |
| Spanish Guitar how about Alex Fox? I didn't see him listed above, and since I only have one cd by him I'm not sure he's purely Spanish guitar. I would describe him as more "nuveau" spanish guitar. The cd I have is "Personality". It's worth a listen. It also has ... | |
| Anyone pay 1st price, Even if it's fair ? Poll Here's my rule: I always offer and pay what the item is worth to me. I always know what that number is, and of course it depends on the market. Likewise I always accept the minimum the item is worth to me (ie to keep). I does seem like most folks ... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... Cardhu is my favorite. I didn't see it listed here yet. It's a 12 year old Highland. Incredibly smooth. Nice bottle too. | |
| What is the one CD you can't find? thanks to everyone who told me where to find the "Go" cd. I purchased a copy off of ebay. It's an iumport that includes "Go too" which I haven't heard, but given th elineup I'm sure I will like it. | |
| What is the one CD you can't find? "Go" by Stomu Yamashta, Steve Winwood, Michael Shrieve. It was released in '76 on Island Records. I have the LP but it's been played to death. I've tried and can't find it on CD. | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Andy Latimer of Camel. Like everyone else, I can't pick one single favorite. Of the names that would be on my top 10, Andy is the only one who I didn't see mentioned here (tho I may have missed him). Some of the others on my list would include Mar... | |
| bridging a b&k st202 to mono I have several B&K power amps. I tried to find reference to this parallel configuration in the manuals and can't. The manual of a Parasound HCA1000 I previously owned recommended "Single Stereo" configuration, citing that it's cleaner than bri... |
