| Ikemi, ARC CD3 and Audio Mecca Mephisto Tony-I haven't heard the two players you mentioned however I would consider an Ayre CX-7 if you can audition one.I demoed both at home-the CX-7 was clearly superior to the Ikemi in my set up. | |
| Do exists "Global" gears-movable between Countries This in the UK is a major problem for dealers who stock American high-end.The price is usually the same in dollars as pounds-you don't need to be a genius to work out that is a major saving-imagine too if you import an ex-dem or second hand item-t... | |
| Rock Lyrics - Best Reference to Other Rock Group Just a few off the top of my head......Dylan on Blind Willie McTell...Cheap Trick on Surrender mentions Kiss...Bowie's All The Young Dudes mentions T-Rex so does Better You Bet by The Who.....Springsteen on Thunder Road.."Roy Orbison's singing for... | |
| Krell HTS Change from 60 to 50Hz It's a good question-one which I don't think you'll find the answer to unfortunately-I have a friend in the same boat although his is a different unit by Krell.He believes it is hardwired using a chip that sees the different frequency and doesn't ... | |
| New Police remasters/SACD.... Mejames-DSOM is 30 this month and is released on SACD.However I don't believe at this stage there are any other Floyd releases planned for SACD | |
| ProAc Future Series: A "Dead Dog" or just Dead?? A quick look at the Proac web site show's that the Future 2's are no longer available........so I suppose that tells it's own story......................... | |
| ProAc Future Series: A "Dead Dog" or just Dead?? Sunnyjim-I heard a pair of the Future's in my dealers about a year or so ago-sadly the experience in terms of the room,music and scale made me pretty confused-I only heard them for a few minutes-certainly there was nothing bad about them.Simply th... | |

| 1950-2000: The Top 25 Singer/Songwriters Tweakgeek-I wouldn't argue too much with your list actually however I think you really need Lennon and McCartney in there basically because they really did write most of their best stuff as individuals-it's well documented from '65 onwards they se... | |
| Latest SACD News - Very Interesting. Eldartford-well you'd be beeter aking your kids than most folks here-most of us will be lucky to get another 50 years! | |
| The Biggest Disappointments in Rock and Roll Mingus try the Liars latest CD they've done with PIL/Gang Of Four/ type sound something reasonably contemporary-and least if you don't like it you can hear "youngsters" making music with influences close to your own.Regards | |
| The Biggest Disappointments in Rock and Roll Phasecorrect I saw The Bunnymen on The Heaven Up Here Tour-they were competent at best,lacked energy and were way out of their depth in the size of venue they played-however The Strokes at an even earlier stage in their career carried the whole th... | |
| The Biggest Disappointments in Rock and Roll Phasecorrect nice analogy about The Strokes and probably quite accurate however some of us do remember seeing The 80's "critical important bands" like The Bunnymen and thinking- fuck these guys can't play-as much as punk kicked the door down-image... | |
| The Biggest Disappointments in Rock and Roll Yes Mingus but it's always been thus...the 80's were the same,The Strokes are every bit as original as the Bunnymen i.e not very but like The Bunnymen they are passionate about what they do.Live The Strokes are miles better than the Bunnymen ever ... | |
| The Biggest Disappointments in Rock and Roll Give me The Strokes over the crummy Housemartins anyday.Their socialist tendenacies seem to have went down the pan with Norman Cook's hedonist lifestyle and Paul Heaton's drunken thug street style.Things weren't always better believe me I was ther... |
