| Favorite Guitar Solo Maybe obscure, but Pablo Cruise’s Ocean Breeze on the self titled album (not the live version). It starts with Cory Lerios getting it on piano and later David Jenkins lights it up a bit on guitar. | |
| Best demo recording When friends are here and ask to hear something played my go-to demo is Steely Dan’s Aja (side 1). They’ve heard those tunes many times but played on a good system they quickly realize there’s a lot more music there to hear and enjoy. They’re surp... | |
| What are your top 5 Windham Hill recordings? We like the compilations: Sanctuary- 20 Years of Windham Hill (2 CD) and Windham Hill Sampler ‘96. Relaxing, interesting, occasionally edgy, sometimes spacey music. We like all the artists, couldn’t really pick a fav.Also have four compilation di... | |

| Audio companies or boutique labels for good SQ LPs? I have a couple LP’s by Analog Productions that sound nice. The most recent buy is the Wonderful Sounds of Female Vocals. It’s a double album with an interesting selection of artists and genres. | |
| LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING I’m on my second Delos (130hours) and it sounds as wonderful as the first one. The tracking force is pretty narrow, 1.75g is recommended. Before you give it away call the distributor (AudioQuest) and see what they have to say. Mine is on a VPI Cla... | |
| My Apologies to Miller Carbon I traded in my 19 1/2 year old solid state Bryston 4bST amp and BP25MC (not a MillerCarbon Edition :-)) pre amp last year with neither component ever having an issue. I turned them off every night and on later the next day. Leaving them constant o... | |
| Newbie question - dedicated headphone amp or is my McIntosh MA352 sufficient If you’ll be doing much headphone listening you’ll be happier with a dedicated amp.
