region 1 or pal, better picture?
Elizabeth, as I mentioned, my dvd player will play pal discs. I guess the real question is, will I lose picture quality when using the pal dvds. I have one pal and it does not look very good. I suspect its not the best disc so I wanted some opinio... 
Austin City Limits
I saw Gillian live the night before last. It was fantastic.

Anyone know how many Sessions at West 54th episodes were released on DVD and/or where any can be found? I only find a few available at places like ebay. tvguide.com shows 85 episodes, read the list, there are some great artists there. Loved that s... 
Austin City Limits
You have inspired me to order Vol 1 Best of Sessions at West 54th. As I remember, I really enjoyed this showcase for artists. I love Austin City Limits and will be checking them out also. Thanks for sparking my interest in a great series. 
Speed of Light?
I just heard a story on the radio about scientists 'freezing light'. OK, does not help you here but this was so cool. They shot a light pulse into a "frozen atom cloud" and even moved the cloud and heated it, and the light actually continued from ... 
Best Concert Film
Just wanted to add the Los Lobos Filmore dvd. The sound is great and the production has that live feel without a lot of unnecessary editing to add excitement. Format to fill widescreen. This was their 30th anniversary concert, what a great live band! 
2006 BEST Female Vocal CD/SACD/XRCD
Congratulations to the Duhks for an unexpected and well deserved Grammy nomination. 
2006 BEST Female Vocal CD/SACD/XRCD
I have fallen in love with an acoustic band that features Jessica Havey on vocals. This young group of players from Canada called The Duhks plays an interesting mix of Celtic, Traditional, Gospel, Zydeco, even Reggae, and more. Jessica Havey has a... 
NAD C352 and Totem Model 1 Signatures
I have a Cambridge 540a V2 that I bought from a member here used for a second system. This thing shocked me. If you try one of these latest V2 integrateds from Cambridge I cant imagine any disappointments. The Totems DO LIKE POWER, and I have not ... 
NAD C352 and Totem Model 1 Signatures
Consider Rotel and Cambridge. When I had the Model One Totems, I found that they sounded best (at any volume) with some power behind them. 
NAD Quality?
Hammer -Still have a 3020?! That was my first amp and a friend is still using it! I loved that amp, chose it over many more expensive amps I tried. That being said, I would recommend looking at Cambridge stuff. I bought a Cambridge integrated for ... 
Canadian Musicians
How can we forget the incredible vocal stylings of that great actor/singer William Shatner. Sorry Canada, he's all yours. 
Will the ipod be the death of the CD?
Unfortunately most people are not that aware or are indifferent to the difference in sound quality. This might put high end sound behind the eight ball again some day. Honestly, there is a lot of music recorded to CD now that has lousy production ...

I second the Duhks. Also saw the Mammals back up and play with Arlo Guthrie last year, that was great. They all know one another, all very talented.Cant say enough about the Duhks new album Migrations. Listening to it now, saw them live weeks ago,... 
Best "album" of 2006
Wildoats- if you like the Mammals you will like the Duhks. They are pals from Canada. When I saw the Mammals back up Arlo Guthrie on his 40th anniversary tour last year the Duhks were there in the audience.The Duhks are great, lots of different in...
