Does anyone do good protest music anymore?
Todd Snider's new album is a good one. Also, second the Steve Earl. 
Dustcover suggestions?
The seller "Vtvu" that Ucmgr suggests is the head guy at Ginkgo audio (you can do a search for more info). He can (and will) make you a custom dustcover for about anything you may need. He's a great guy to business with too.Chris 
DYNAUDIO EXPERTS Pro line vs Home Audio line
Depending on your budget, I would tend to stay with the "home" audio end of the Dyn lineup. The older Confidence 4's are outstanding, and the Special 25's are pretty darn nice too. To my ears they sound best with tubes (I had mine powered w/Audio ... 
Best Phono Pre for Teres
Flyingred, Who say's everyone who plays guitar through a tube amp is playing through it becouse it distorts........ Ever heard Les Paul?? 
Best Phono Pre for Teres
Raul,In response to your post on tube gear (and please know I am not trying to start an arguement, as I have always found a good deal of insight and wisdom in many of your other comments on Agon). I have been a professional musician for almost 20 ... 
Best Phono Pre for Teres
Bebop,I guess you didn't read my post on your thread.......... I have an Airy 3S w/silver base (.24mv) running into an ARC reference phono in my system. It sounds incredible. I am using Hovland MG II phono cables which are a big improvement over a... 
Lucinda Williams Fans?
The great shows were when she still lived in Austin and was playing locally a lot with her band. It was one of the greatest bands I have ever seen live. I am really lucky to have had Gurf Morlix play on my last record (he was her long time guitar ... 
Best Phono Pre for Teres
I am running a ZYX Airy 3S through an Audio Research Ref. phono and am very happy. I have it loaded at 100ohms, which seems to work well in my system. I have not compared to any others though.Chris 
Maggies 3.6 vs 20.1
Thanks everyone for all of the thoughtful comments. Teajay, no offense taken.......... My point was only that if I was going on what I heard at my dealer, I probably wouldn't think 3.6's were that great of a speaker. Maybe the same can be said for... 
Maggies 3.6 vs 20.1
Teajay take it easy dude............... I happen to own ML Prodigy's and in my "educated opinion" think they sound pretty good............ In fact a lot better than the 3.6's I auditioned at my dealer. Having said that, I don't think my dealer had... 
Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick?
I'm with you guy's on the Maggie 1.6's and the Purist Vanustas. I will add the Theta Miles CD player (balanced version). I have auditioned many other players in my system some costing almost four times as much when new. While some sounded a bit be... 
Review: Merlin Music Systems VSM-MX Speaker
Hi Guy's,I have been following this thread with some interest lately. I currently own Martin Logan Prodigy's, which as you may already know are quite large electrostats. I am thinking about changing my system and am looking for a speaker that give...

CAT amps........Opinions please

Cartridge for JMW 10
I just purchased a ZYX Airy 3-S for my JMW 10/Aries TT combo from sorasound and am quite thrilled with it. It out tracks the Grado ref. it replaced and sounds exponentially better too. This model may be out of your price range, but one of the othe...
