Right you are tomic601. Tom Carione is the techs name, and he is in the store on Wednesdays and Saturdays. A few years before Brooks died he had an absolutely mint Bedini 25/25 in his museum. I wanted it pretty badly, but already had a working 25/... 
The Best Piano Works of the 20th Century
Thanks tubegroover. I have only one solo piano version, Richter's 1958/60 live recording issued on LP by CBS Records in the late 60's. The performance is great, but the recorded sound is pretty thin.

I’m not surprised ghosthouse, you’re one hip music lover! Hanging around hi-fi stores as I have since discovering component audio when I was 18 (I met a guy who had a Rek-O-Kut transcription table with a Shure M44 cartridge, H. H. Scott integrated... 
Whats playing on your system today?
@nutty---I love Mary’s Mercy Now album, and her as an artist. I discovered her as a result of the album being produced by Gurf Morlix, Lucinda Williams’ guitarist, band leader, and producer up to and including her career-making Car Wheels On A Gra... 
Recommendations for a few high SQ classical CDs
@n80, oh yeah, Edmunds has a lot of solo albums, and one as a member of the great Rockpile (with Nick Lowe, Billy Bremner, and Terry Williams). Dave just announced his retirement---he's in his mid-70's. He continued to perform "Sabre Dance" after ...

A great topic! I could name a few hundred, but off the top of my head:- Julianna Raye: Something peculiar. An album of great pop songs produced by Jeff Lynne. Really cool.- Michael Kelsh: Well Of Mercy. A great singer/songwriter, produced by Rodne... 
thoughts on phono stage
Wow Simon, I can't wait to just find out what they are! Your Magico Q3's are mighty high performance, so your new speakers must be really special. Care to give us a hint? ;-) 
Recommendations for a few high SQ classical CDs
George, I have an interesting recommendation for you. Welsh Rock ’n’ Roll guitarist/singer/producer Dave Edmunds (well known as producer of The Stray Cats, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, The Everly Brothers and others, and member along with Nick Lowe ...

Eminent Technology LFT-8b's stacked arrangements
Just compare the design and construction of the Eminent Technology magnetic-planar drivers and their metal support structures to the Magneplanars! I like and own Maggies (Tympani-4a’s), but anyone contemplating the purchase of MG1.7i’s (or even 3.... 
Eminent Technology LFT-8b's stacked arrangements
Damn, what a great idea! What you have there is basically the discontinued LFT-6, which are impossible to find. I know, I’ve been looking for a few years. Doubled LFT-8’s has been done before (by Douglas Schroeder), but in side-by-side configurati... 
Recommendations for a few high SQ classical CDs
George, I am going to make some assumptions about your approach to "Classical" music (parens employed because Classical, though used casually in reference to "serious" music, is actually a style of composition and performance of a specific type an... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@dhawks3001, "Loan Me A Dime" is a KILLER song! Boz’s debut album is pretty good, but "LMAD" is great, good enough to justify the purchase of the album. I saw/heard Boz first as the rhythm guitarist (playing a Gibson ES 335, and doing no singing) ...
