| Best acoustical guitar - any type music Be sure not to neglect the late, great John Fahey. Labelled as an 'American primitive', the man was certainly a visionary and straddled numerous genres with much experimentation & extrapolation. His earlier works focus on acoustically based re... | |
| A meeting by the River.... I have heard and own a couple of other Bhatt releases on Water Lily and they are all fairly sublime recordings. There is an interesting disc featuring Bhatt and Taj Mahal which is quite nice and another Water Lily disc by the title of "Kambara Mus... | |

| Dissapating static electricity I have had this problem as well, and simply got in the habit of touching another object first, as Sedond mentions. I ran into a company called Virtual Mode a little while back, and had them send me a copy of their catalog. I can't really say much ... | |
| "Burn in" Are you serious? It never ceases to fascinate me at the ultimate degeneration of virtually all audio forums into a widespread bitch session about 'cables'. With almost religious fervor the two camps bellow and dispute & very rarely do the twains meet, even for... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals For those so inclined, I have copied a posting from Audio Asylum I coincidentally ran into a couple days before looking at this post. Some interesting information from audio maestro, Jon Risch... When the digital data from a CD is copied to a hard... | |
