| Gallo Ref 3's for musician? I have been in the live touring space for 25 years and work with arena level sound gear. I own the Gallos above (my wife's home theater) and ATC pro gear (really accurate studio monitors). With that said, the best value system I have heard (and re... | |
| Rega R3 or Paradigm Studio 20 V.3 with Rega Brio 3 RegafanRich is correct on the Omegas. I heard the Omegas on a Red Wine Audio ss rig. I have not heard them on a tube amp. They sounded wonderful--good performance for their size, but Rich has first-hand owner knowledge on how they pair up.PS: Ther... | |
| Rega R3 or Paradigm Studio 20 V.3 with Rega Brio 3 Because budget is key, there are some great deals out there with speakers. Epos 12s, Era Design 4s, Omega Compact Hemps, PSB Alphas are very value oriented and match other speakers at 3 to 5x the price. You should see how they match your music tas... | |
| Best sounding LP nobody else has ever heard of... Del Shannon made a record with Tom Petty right before he died and is backed by the Heartbreakers. The album dates to 1983. I heard it over the weekend and it absolutely smokes. | |

| Radiohead read on The Beatles of our time. I think John would have loved the daring nature of each new release. Enuff said. | |
| Radiohead's new business model: Brilliant move. What nobody mentions is that very little band revenue comes from their recorded output. The record labels are only a "bank" to the band--fronting the initial recording costs against future revenue. All studio production goes agains... | |
| Which Steely Dan Aja lp to buy? Try the original. Tom Port of www.dccblowout.com has been featuring "shoot-outs" over the past two months of various Steely Dan albums. The originals are hard to find in sonically correct master tape quality (many lack bass). Interesting to see wh... | |

| Most Influential American Musician of All Time? Hey, I thought the key word was "influence". Did not realize influence solely stayed within America!!!!!!!!:) | |
| Most Influential American Musician of All Time? WAKE UP! Les Paul and Leo Fender. I am surprised nobody here voted on Les Paul and Leo Fender. Hard to imagine rock music without both. Les turned 92 this year and created the most copied sound. No Les; No Jimmy Page or Keith Richards. No Leo; No ... |
