Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa-"Don't Explain"
There's always somebody making me jealous with their "I saw them live and guess who made guest appearances" story! Just searched Beth Hart here to find this thread, listening to "Bang Bang Boom Boom" as I write. Love her.Saw the cd she did with Ba... 
How do you determine how much to spend on speakers
11 years later, hows it working out? My last speaker purchase was under $100. Not too long ago I spent a whopping $330 on Forte IIs. If I hit the lotto, who knows? 
underrated or unheard of musician/band
Re-read the original post and got me thinking. Was listening to the Hacienda Brothers' debut album today, great band, straight up honkytonk/country rock. A strange mix of Mex and techno: Nortec Collective. "Tijuana Sessions Vol 3 is my favorite. A... 
"NEWEST'" Favorite album
Received "Mexican Moon" today. Of all of the ways I hoped this band would go, they Rock Out Heavy exactly in the way I hoped they would. I am not a metal head, I have a certain standard when it comes to Hard Rock.Just want to say as someone who ju... 
underrated or unheard of musician/band
Back again, miss me? I've been listening to three very different female artists lately: Brandi Carlile "The Story", "Bloodletting" by Concrete Blonde with lead singer/bass Johnette Napolitano, and Nina Hagan "NUNSEXMONKROCK".First to last could no... 
"NEWEST'" Favorite album
Concrete Blonde "Bloodletting", more imaginative than I remembered or expected, so good I have ordered more of their music. Haunting, cool from 1990. 
Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice.
As I write this I am watching the end of a Dark Matters (SCI)story about Ben Franklyn's scientific investigation of the practices of Dr Mesmer. Drifted to the keyboard and ended up here when I happened to search Concrete Blonde as I have been list... 
WBT Power Bridges or Dayton Jumpers?
Nice Nakamichi spade and bananas are available on ebay cheap (really cheap if you search). Also found shrink tubing super cheap, stocked up on both and have made some cables that don't look home cobbled. Made jumpers with spades on one end and ban... 
Review: Dayton DTA-100a Amplifier
Ok Honda6, what gives? Just read another of your threads and found that you also use a Playstation 1001 -and- Atacama stands. Are you my evil doppelganger? Maybe I'm the bad one... 
Review: Dayton DTA-100a Amplifier
Surprisingly impressed by mine also. T-amps don't get much cred here, too inexpensive my guess. I also have a HLLY tamp-20 which I very much like. Sometimes use it with my Little Dot mkIII pre. Right now they are hooked up to my Cambridge S-30 spe... 
Review: Dayton Audio DTA-100a Amplifier
If you use a line level splitter adapter at the source (or splitter cable) you can add a sub without fear of damaging the DTA-100A. I occasionally stick them right to the line out rcas on the back of my CDP to add a (powered) sub. DO NOT use speak... 
Amp, On A Budget?
I like both of the Dayton amps mentioned above. New, nice sounding, very quit amps for peanuts. At the price, they are perfect amps to buy as a backup and to compare other amps to as you progress on your upgrade path. You might be surprised how an... 
"NEWEST'" Favorite album
1. The Story by Brandi Carlile -just caught her show last week and love her even more now.2. NUNSEXMONKROCK by Nina Hagan -this one is from 1983, but new to me. Intense, entertaining, absurd, totally addicting. An adventurous listen but not for th... 
Brandi Carlile
Finally saw her last night, and honestly...she exceeded my highest expectations! What an awesome act she has evolved into, one of the best shows I have had the pleasure to attend. Will see her again sometime! 
misprint labels
Bowie in a dress is the original cover, they changed it, at least in the US, to the black and white cover you might be familiar with. As for the label, sounds like a promo, but I'm no expert.
