| Best drink while listening to your rig? Clipsal: great post! Wish we could get some of those Australian brews "up over," as it were! Do you listen to the Waifs at all? Friend from Melbourne sent me two CDs. Kind of like them, actually. | |
| Considering HDCD players Is there some reason not to stick with Arcam? Others in their line are HDCD players. | |

| How international is your system? Sad but true, Satch. | |

| Norah Jones on Bluenote?? For those of you who still are interested in this topic, there is something on this (along with a less than glowing review of Norah's new album) in the Feb. 2, 2004 issue of "Newsweek" (the one with John Kerry on the cover).To quote one passage fr... | |
| Classic Records / Procol Harum Thanks for the lead! Procol Harum is one of my all-time favorite rock groups. | |
| Norah Jones on Bluenote?? I don't see how Norah Jones (as unremarkable as she is) affects the music of other jazz artists. The only thing that conceivably COULD happen is that the accountants start looking at the bottom line and start dumping less profitable artists. Now T... | |
