| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? While neither is "technically" a great guitarist, to my ears, Keith Richards and The Edge each bring a certain and unique sound to the table that I love. Chet Atkins produced the purist sound I've ever heard from a guitar. | |

| Breakthrough Evidence of the Beatle's Genius? With both of my sons (ages 9 and 6 now) I use to dance them to sleep in my arms while listening to "And I Love Her" and "If I Fell" almost every night (aaaawwwwww I know!). Now we sit and watch "A Hard Days Night' and "Help" damn near once a week.... | |

| Transport for Scott Nixon Tubedac+ Zoya,I'll wait to offer my recommendation (or not) until after the Tubedac is broken-in. So far with the Tubedac hooked up to my SA 8260 I hear a slight narrowing of the soundstage but a much fuller-richer-sweeter sound. I put in an German Valvo b... | |

| Horizon Silverflex speaker cable Nobody heard of or using this cable?How about a suggested speaker cable (10' length) to use in my system. I'd like to biwire the 1.6's but if a single run with jumpers is the better way then I'd look at that too. Price range max is $1500.00. I pre... | |
