"Already Free" - Derek Trucks Band
Zieman,I prefer "feel, soul, groove" over sonic perfection. Sometimes in the process of sonic perfection, the "soul" of a recording gets lost. Very few recording are able to capture both. 
"Already Free" - Derek Trucks Band
Here's a review that was written over on the Hittin the Web site by a poster that goes by the name of dadof2. Pretty good review. Btw, Zieman, the sonics of this CDs are much better than what's on the Tedeschi CD. "Starting with the inside cover &...

On Robert Palmer's 1st album "Sneaking Sally Throught the Alley" he was backed up The Meters and various members of Little Feat.On Eric Clapton's 1st solo album his back-up band included Delaney and Bonnie & Friends, and Leon Russell.On Johnny... 
needed opinion of amp or cd change?
Rsjm80,You might get a better (or at least more) reponds to your question about amp/CD chamge if you posted your question over in the "Amps Preamps" and/or "Digital" forums. 
quasi-omni, cheap speakers for a friend's new barn
Thom9015,While your intentions are admirable, your friend is probably a "Bose man". For the money he wants to spend (and it "HIS" money and "HIS" barn), help him find a pair of used Bose 901s w/equalizer and he'll be happier than a "pig wallowing ... 
I am at a crossroads, what two sets of speakers...
I would go for the Alons and Chapman t-7. Rational, the Alon are local, so no shipping cost, and no worry about speakers being damaged in transit. With the Chapmans, I would imagine (never hear these speakers) that sonically that both would have a... 
Monitor speakers for Tube integrated?
Sacman, Looks like many of A'goners around here are in their typical "buy this, buy this" mode of what is their personal favorites. Makes you wonder how many of them "REALLY" read your post, and what your "wants and needs" really are.? So you got ... 
Best Bookshelf/Monitors Speakers? Suggestions
Farjamed,My system is pretty modest (click on "system" after my name and you can see what I got) but currently I'm running a pair of Madisound AR.com speakers. Not bad sounding speakers, although at some point I would like to upgrade to something ... 
Best Bookshelf/Monitors Speakers? Suggestions
Farjamed,You gotten many good responds in regards to speakers, so I won't add any more to the list. But what I would recommend since on one side of your speakers you have a glass wall is that you get some lined curtains. The glass will play "hell"... 
the dead on tour again. ---two questions:
Dodgealum,If you saw Allman Brothers 10 years ago I can understand you thinking of them as one of those "aged rock/nostalgia acts" as that was the direction that Dickey Betts was leading the band in, and was one of the reasons why that Dickey was ... 
the dead on tour again. ---two questions:
Warren Haynes has plenty of experience playing Dead music. When the Dead toured in '05 Warren was in the band, also Warren was a member of Phil and Friends. In addition, Warren has also "sat in" with Bob Weir's group, Ratdog on many occasions. Gra... 
b&w 685: heard 'em, liked 'em, but wondering
Rorty40,If you get the chance you might want to listen to the Usher S-520. Also if possible check out Energy RC-10, and the NHT Classic Two and Three. Used some Quad 11L or 12L would fit into you budget, and would probably sound very well with you... 
Speakers and Tube Amps
IMHO, I would look at a speaker's "impedance curve" in determing where or not it's "tube-friendly". If the impedance is relatively flat throughout the speaker's frequency range, with whatever deviations represented by smooth curves, than those spe... 
Speakers and Tube Amps
"More names can be found at the wavelength web site with a better depiction of what relates to waht power range of tube amps."Anybody know the web address of the wavelength site? www.wavelength.com doesn't seem to be the one. If people are going t... 
Vienna Acoustics sounded terrible at Magnolia
One of the big problems is that Magnolia Audio is now owned by Best Buys. Indeed, where I live at Magnolia Audio is in a back corner of Best Buys. From what I can tell many of sales personnel are not that well trained and generally don't even know...
