| What a Wonderful Winter I too agree on the sparse 'touring' that is going on. Most of that is due to the economics of the music business today. Also, artists/groups can not make a living with the business model that touring requires unless there is significant financial ... | |
| Where does the money go in a Blu Ray player? The video chip, which comes in different versions that sony charges different prices. | |
| Want to downsize Proac, 1SC's as they are very musical, and very affordable. | |
| What Turntable should I get? Denon 47F, take it slow, easy and cheap, then move up after the vinyl experience becomes real. | |
| Your gonna like this.... Would be nice if Neil told us the audio equipment that he uses for most of his listening. In fact, all musicians should provide that information so we 'know where they are coming from', especially when they sing the praises of mp3. | |
| Worth Going to 'THE SHOW' IN NYC IN APRIL If someone is interested, I can share a room at the Radisson (across the street from the Waldorf). Your cost would be $100.00. Room will have two single beds. | |
| I've narrowed it down... Make it Cayin, great sound, great value. | |
| AQ vs Signal Cable vs BlueJeans vs MonoPrice Monoprice is the place to go, great sound, best value. Also consider 12 gauge speaker cable at Home Depot. I've compared it to stuff costing ten times as much and can't tell the difference. | |

| What are the best interconnects. anything purchased from monoprice dot com. | |
| What is "low ball" Anything where the price is marked 'firm'. I always mark my price 'soft' with no 'low ball' or 'bottom feeders' welcome. Always get the price I think is 'fair', whatever that means. | |
| Which is the best VPI Platter? The newest one that Harry is selling. Long ago Harry adopted the Detroit business model, a new platter every year. Think about it, Harry has been at this for over 40 years, if he can't figure it out by now he is admitting that it is the 'change' b... | |
| acoustic ceilings I have always had such in my listening rooms and hey work wonders. Since the ceiling itself is a first reflection point, treatment is a must. | |
| What makes a bigger change, dac or preamp? Pre amp would make the most significant change, all other elements remaining unchanged. | |
| What's a 30-year old Grace F9-E Ruby worth? I have one, in use daily. Still great sound. I also have a $2K Clearaudio and the Grace gives it strong competition. A few years ago I was offered $1.5K for the Grace and a Sony X800, which it was installed in. If it had been $2K, I would have sol... |
