| Help me find violin and cello related Try Corelli "Violin Sonatas Op.5" Andre Manze violin, Richard Elger harpsichord CD Harmonia Mundi MHU 907298.99. Spooky. Or for the same effect in folk try Hope Sandoval. | |
| Great films where music is a central theme. Local Hero. Mark Knopfler, baby ! | |
| Warm, fullbodied, smooth, and transparent Of the few that I own or have tried the Harmonic Technology Truth Link IC's easily are the warmest and most full bodied and have the most presence in the lower range. I wouldn't exactly call them smooth or rolled off because the highs are still th... | |
| Chicks With Guitars Kaki King for sure. Saw her up close in a small now defunct venue in Santa Cruz. During one number I realized my mouth was hanging open in awe. I turned around to look at the audience and everybody else's mouths were hanging open too. Tiny gal, hu... | |
| Rel B3 or JL Audio F110 Kiza, I also have the M3 and two JL F110's with Usher BE-718 monitors. It works really well with the bass management feature built in to the amp and now I don't worry about the woofers in the monitors getting damaged when I play loud electronic mu... | |
| psudo Center channel from stereo There was the "Hafler Hookup" from a long time ago that provided a pseudo quadraphonic sound with two extra speakers and a jumper setup between the main speakers. Could that be what you're thinking of? You can Google or Wiki it. | |
| Terrible/Inappopriate songs ... I miss the Favorite Track Selection feature on my first CD player-a Magnavox CDP650 which let you choose which songs you liked and skip over the crappy ones automatically from then on. Then I saw one being used for demo purposes at last year's aud... | |

| Amy Winehouse.RIP Blkadr, "why someone (above) would be compelled to take the time to post something tasteless, thoughtless and cruel." Because that someone IS tasteless, thoughtless and cruel. Same goes for the similar posters in the other Amy RIP thread. Maybe if... | |
| Favorite music Daniel Lanois opened my eyes to the creative process of production when I first encountered his work with Brian Eno when they transformed U2 on Unforgettable Fire. Then I kind of forgot about him until Wrecking Ball came along and for the first ti... | |
| California Audio Show-why I hate audio conventions Justlisten, I've had similar experiences at dealers. For demo purposes some of the CD's I take along are very poor sound quality and the dealers hate it when I play them. I don't do it to make their systems sound bad, it's just that some music tha... | |
| Suggested Stands for B&W 805 Diamonds Sound Anchor Four Post stands. Your speakers deserve them. | |
| Clarence Clemons - RIP The Big Man was kind of scary when I first encountered him at Winterland in late '75/early '76 on the Born to Run tour. I was belly up to the stage and he towered over the crowd and was very imposing and mean looking. Soon his famous Santa Claus l... | |
| Why Not Return the Favor? Shadorne, You are being a little hard on Dan as he has made 70+ comments on virtual systems. Oh wait, those were on HIS system! | |
| stacking components without leaving marks I cut some paper up. Free. Didn't seem detrimental to the sound at all. |
