| Best drink while listening to your rig? Ozfly:I match my drink to my mood, too, but also to the music. Actually, the music sets the mood (or my mood dictates the music), all of which dictates the drink! They're all linked.I'll look for the Wild Horse. For summer whites, I'm also partial... | |
| Burn in power cord by boiling water?? I burn mine in on the fridge using a cheater cord from Ernie. The ice cubes are much better formed, the light does not flicker, and the hum of the motor is much more musical. Oh, and the white wine I'm chilling is much rounder and has more air. Th... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Mghcanuck:I had some Chateau d'Yquem from my father's cellar a few years ago. He bought some cases back in the 70s (can't remember what vintage). Wow!!!!Ozfly:I've had other Aberlour, but not the sherry cask one. I'll have to give it a try. Glenmo... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Tres bien, Agonanon!For Port lovers, an evening with a good bottle, good friend(s), good chamber music or jazz, nothing much better than some 1994 LBV (Osborne is a damn good deal). Have some 2000 vintage ports now cellaring. | |
| Done with integrated Preamp for Plinius SA102... I've found the Plinius 8200 mkII to be anything but "dry." See my review. I'd gladly answer any questions about it. | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? JOND: thanks for the recommendation about holding the Sauternes a little longer. WineSpectator was not much help in that department! What about a Chateau de Rayne-Vigneau 1997? Yes, with stilton!KHRYS: Geeesh! Actually, been there recently! | |

| Anyone have problems with Arcam digital gear Does this dealer sell Arcam, or is he trying to steer you towards something he sells? I have an Arcam CDP. It's 4 years old and no problem. | |
| Recommended CD of Cuban music You might also consider the non-Cuban, but Cuban-style LP "Afro-Cuban" by Kenny Dorham. It was recorded in 1955 and is available on Blue Note. | |
| Jazz suggestions please I'm going to keep this mercifully short!Shahens: for the style of jazz you're referring to, there are some great suggestions listed above. Having similar (but broader) tastes, I can suggest anything by Don Byas, Sonny Stitt (start with "Kaleidosco... | |
| Felice Bryant: you rocked my world Nina Simone died yesterday, too. | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" Hadn't heard of Sonny Stitt until I was browsing in Reckless Records (Chicago). Picked up a near mint copy of "Kaleidoscope" and have been looking for more of his LPs ever since. | |
| Mozart Piano Concerto 21. Haven't seen Buxter for a long time. But, Gileon, I agree with you. There are those who don't seem to like Russian peformers, period. I really like much of Gilels, Oistrakh, and others. | |
| What's under YOUR turntable? TT (with Trampolin base removed) sits on Mana wall shelf | |
| Rock Lyrics - Best Reference to Other Rock Group Bob Dylan's song "Highlands" includes this line:"I'm listening to Neil Young, I gotta turn up the sound" |
