| Guitar Alphabet. Please fill out unused letters... To answer Marakanetz query about Dylan and lead guitar.Dylan was obviously a folk-based guitarist to start with despite returning to his rock n' roll roots circa'64 subsequently he always allowed his main guitarist of the time to play lead (Robbie... | |
| Proac Studio 125s I've really only been interested in Hi-fi seriously the last five years but in that time the Proac's have usually always got great reviews here in the UK-the 125's were recommended and award winners on What Hi-fi-who give the new Futures (.5)a rav... | |

| Pete Gabriel and Kate Bush I did read that Kate Bush actually turned down Gabriel's amorous advances and seduction attempts -- she was happily married at the time-I can't remember where I read this now-probably Q magazine or a Gabriel biography I read a few years back.Needl... | |
| Chord 64dac I did notice a rather teasing term used in this months Hi-Fi News(UK mag)for a review of the "final" version of the Chord 64 DAC in next months issue(which issome three weeks away).What this consists of I have no idea but thought those who had a u... | |
| What group do you wish would be remastered? Jeff both Madman Across The Water and Empty Glass (one of my all time favourites)have indeed both been remastered. | |
| What group do you wish would be remastered? Most of the Dylan output still requires upgrading.The difference between the recent Street Legal and the orignal CD release is night and day in terms of improvement.There are some releases due out but in typical Sony style they are all over the pl... | |
