| The Best Live album Midnight Oil. Live in London. Bootleg. 1993. Smokes almost any recording for live soundstage and dynamics. Also love 1994 EP that Jonathan Demme's video of Neil Young playing "Change Your Mind." | |
| New Music Recommendations 2012 Forgot Alabama Shakes. Love the raw and soulful sound. | |
| New Music Recommendations 2012 So many great ones this year: Beach House, Calexico, Jimmy Cliff, Jonathan Wilson, Jack Johnson | |
| Best sounding reggae on analog? Culture, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff (especially the new one, the Congos | |
| Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's The new Small Faces reissues are brilliant | |
| Best Rock Album in 2012 Really love the new Beach House album "Bloom". Also, the new Jimmy Cliff album. Both are on heavy rotation. | |
| Best beer Corona. Also a great song by the Minutemen. | |
| Best Rock Album in 2012 New Neil Young and Crazy Horse is the bomb. | |
| Mini Monitors under $500 used Second the Paradigms. Will mate perfectly. | |
| Best Rock Album in 2012 Oh, the Alabama Shakes album rocks. The 22 year old singer sounds like Aretha fronting the White Stripes. | |
| Best Rock Album in 2012 Kind of like the new Calexico Road Atlas, the newest by Coldplay (6 great songs on Side 1), Bruce Springsteen (best album in 20 plus years), and the new Jack Johnson live album (all duets). | |
| Anyone else using the VonSchweikert vr35 speakers? One of the great speakers on the market. I also love the new Sony SS's, Vandersteens, ATC and Focals. Did you audition these against any of those? | |
| Speaker Choice for Almarro 318B Jamset: please look at the following companies who make quality tube products: Japan: Luxman N100 or 38, Leben 300,America: MacIntosh 275 (my father had one for 40 years with no tube failure), Decware (lifetime warranty) Italy: Unico | |
| Marantz SA8004 is fundamentally musical I think the 6004 and 8004 are the best players on the market for the money--a real steal. Japanese build quality. Beautiful ergo styling.PS: I loved the K-Pearl line from 2009. This is the best use of that engineering. | |
| Harbeth 7ES3 or Devore Fidelity Nines? Devore. Beautifully made and sound great: very musical across the sound spectrum. Harbeth are the kings of mid-range. |
