| Audiophile grade country I like many well recorded Americana albums that have wonderful soundstaging and beautiful seperation of vocals and instruments. I can highly recommend CDs and LPs by Dave Alvin (Ashgrove), Lucinda Williams (her last five albums are brilliant), Jen... | |
| Any love for the new Elvis Costello? I like this, as it reminds me of King of America and Almost Blue from many decades ago. It is tad on the slow side. My favorite 2009 Americana albums of the moment are by Neko Case and Dave Alvin and the Guilty Women. | |
| Shout out for DMB's Big Whiskey /GrooGrux Busted Stuff has the best sound IMO but I love the groove on this album--really mixes it up. | |
| Best bookshelf speakers under $1,000 for NAD amps? Paradigm studio 20s and DALI Lektor 2s. | |
| Jeff Beck "performing this week" OMG Uses VOX in the studio and backstage green room. Nice picture in recent Uncut Magazine using this. | |
| Jeff Beck "performing this week" OMG Thanks for your good thoughts. He left three generations of players (son, grandson, and great grandchildren) below him. He was the patron and could play to a professional level up until he died, running circles around the rest of his family. In to... | |
| Jeff Beck "performing this week" OMG Shadorne and AldavisI am related to "Big Dom" Mumolo, who just passed away this week at 91 in Rancho Palo Verdes, CA. One of the best session alto sax players in his day, played with everyone from the Ella, Duke, Frank, Dino, Sammy, and Nat (was o... | |
| Best Integrated Amp You Ever Heard? Love Luxman from Japan, LFD from the UK, and McIntosh from the US. All are wonderfully built products that will offer many years of service. Second the postings for the Mac 6300 and the Luxman 1590. | |
| "Heima" by Sigur Rós Amazing. My favorite Music DVD. | |
| AudioEngine 2 vs AudioEngine5? I like the AE 2.0s and Blue Sky Audio's EXO System. I own both and prefer the EXO system. You can get that at Guitar Center for $200 and it has deeper defined bass and dynamics if you are using compressed digital files. I am also hearing good thin... | |
| Jeff Beck "performing this week" OMG I had the great experience of working with SRV on his last album and have seen Clapton and Page live many different occasions. With that said, I am very enamoured by the Blu Ray version of this and how the sound just shimmers through out the perfo... | |
| Praise for DacMagic Try it with a Blu Ray player. It will take it up a level. Try the Stone's Shine a Light movie or the new Neil Young. | |
| Are Harbeths really "all that?" I think you need to also look at them in context to the professional environments that they serve. There are two camps in England: ATC and Harbeth-like speakers. ATC are very precise sounding speakers that enable recording engineers like myself to... | |
| KEF 205 / 2 or Focal Electra 1037BE I have heard the 201, 205 and 207s by KEF and they are some of the best sounding speakers the company has made. I had original BBC monitors two decades ago and this new Reference lines speaks to their standing from that time. They are smooth sound... | |
