guitar solos where less is more
Dracule1, thank you, I listened to them all, and enjoyed them all. I ACTUALLY am open to all styles. . . . enjoyed the Ted Greene piece too. 
First Rebecca Pidgeon Album?
New York Girl's Club is also quite good.

I've always liked Andy Latimer (Camel - check out "Ice"), and Mark Knopfler (Solo work - check out "Our Shangri-La") for this reason. For that matter David Gilmour is also a less is more soloist.

How do I hook up 2 preamps to one amp
what Elevick said is the answer - both of his posts. I'm not sure what Lexicon you're using but it's likely to be superior to your NAD - even for music, but if you prefer the NAD, then what you do is connect the the speaker outputs (ie Main L/R) f...

Album Of The Year 2011
I'm not sure what my nominee is - frankly I don't remember which albums I bought this year that were truly 2011 releases. I would have said Cowboy Junkies Renmin Park, and/or Demons, but I think they are 2010.A top contender IMO would be Brian Eno...
