| Genesis @simonmoon Thanks for the suggestions. We seem to be like minded when it comes to prog. I've heard of most of the bands you mentioned, some I like (Anglagard, Anekdoten, Deus ex Machina Thinking Plague, Zopp) and some I don't (Haken, IQ, After C... | |
| Genesis @richmon thanks for the recommendations. Camel and Strawbs never did it for me but thumbs up for Porcupine Tree and Caravan. Have a few PT albums and lots of Caravans. 5 strars for "For girls who grow... Like "In the land of Grey and pink" a lot. | |
| Genesis @larsman strange days, that's one completely unknown to me. Found it on YouTube. Pretty cool and very Genesis-like. Can't agree with the Gabriel substitute. Thanks for the tip. This record deserves a spin on my system. | |
| "Good" Music @baylinor I've heard of less than half of the people you mentioned (really like caravan). So there are quite a few I can look into. Thanks | |
| "Good" Music @manhattan1 have you heard Mark Isham's Vapor Drawings. I'm not partial to trumpet either, but this is a good record. | |
| "Good" Music If you haven't, please try Bandcamp. It has a ton of music you can sample from just about any genre. This is where I found The Ominfic's Escapades (great progish album). | |
| Genesis @effischer Hi Appreciate your comments. Would your recommend a superior sounding version of Nursery Cryme? Thanks | |
| Genesis @akgwhiz Some recommdations. Most of these are not Genesis sound alikes but are art rock, prog rock, avant gard or what ever you want to call it. Sound samples can be found on Discogs. Hopefully a few might suit your tastes. Some are way out there... | |
| Genesis I saw solo Gabriel about 5 times. Always a great show! I only wish saw I him with Banks, Rutherford, Hackett and Collins. Did see Genesis without Gabriel at a stadium somewhere. Great show with two drummers I believe. Phil Collins was a great drum... | |
| Genesis Funny. I also found Genesis Live in the discount bin. The live version of Watcher of the skies is great. I appreciate the Gabriel era most. So for me Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England and Lamb are the best. "Return of the Giant Hogweed" and ... | |
| Cable Quest @soix I've had Cardas Quadlink (CD to amp) and monster powerline 2 speaker cables for a long time and thought it's time for a change for something better. I borrowed Cardas Prosec and Shunyata Gamma from The Cable Company. Don't really know what ... | |
| Do I need upgraded power cables? @mrdecibel Thanks for the tip regarding the Preffair Power Cords. I will probably give them a try. I've read about the possible differences between gold-plated and rhodium. Do you have any comment on the Preffair Carbon Fiber cable? Thanks | |

| Listening Room or Components or my ears? Hello All I separated the speakers by about a foot and positioned them without the toe-in. It does sound a lot better. A lot! Music is bigger, deeper, involving. Thanks for the advice. Wish I'd done this years ago. Next step - room treatments. | |
| Listening Room or Components or my ears? Good Day Thanks to all for helpful comments and suggestions. Much appreciated. You've given me lots to think about and explore. |
