What did you replace your DQ-10's with?
Any more info on "Regnar"? Imin2u, good luck with the replacement/upgrade which I would think won't be easy. Maybe you should just have them restored?Some of my best budding audiophile memories were hearing DQ-10's with Apt Holman preamp, Quatre G... 
Apogee Mini Grand Questions
I had a pair of Stages on the stands w/o subs for about four years and I loved them.To this day, some of the best, most fatigue free, uncannily focused midrange I have ever heard. Try Joni Mitchell Blue late at night in the dark for a transcendent... 
Why Put Up With "Wife Approval Factor"?
JMCgrogan2Many of those financially independent women, in my experience, live in New York City.And if you are anything like me, you wouldn't want to date, let alone marry one of them, even if they willingly spent large portions of their high flyin... 
Why Put Up With "Wife Approval Factor"?
Although I did have them recovered them in a neutral shade of Belgian linen, Magneplanar Tympanis are not exactly a high WAF item.But I wouldn't dream of switching or giving up garden hose sized cables snaking across my sea grass and turkish carpe... 
Patricia Barber live at the Regattabar
The Gold Star Sardine Bar was a bar on North Lake Shore Drive (666?) in Chicago which I believe has now been closed for many years. I feel lucky to have visited the bar on a few occasions between 1982 and 1986 when I was in college.Patrons crammed... 
Patricia Barber live at the Regattabar
I, for one, am sorry to hear that the "Wood is Pleasant Thing" transformation continues.....So I still think it was all downhill after the magical Gold Star Sardine Bar and Split. 
Mobile audio MP3/iPod/RioRiot, etc.
Thank you. Further to the wonders of the iPod, are there any other benefits to the 20GB model?For me, 15 CDs at one time on a handheld device would be plenty. Maybe I should save the extra hundred bucks and go with the 10G model? 
Mobile audio MP3/iPod/RioRiot, etc.
Chanifin and Abstract7:I was ready to rush out and buy and iPod today but think this subject is a bit trickier than I realized --In the highest quality format (umcompressed??) how many hours of music will fit on a 20G ipod?Do you still recommend t... 
ARC SP-11 MkII vs. ARC Ref. 1 & the winner is.....
I used to think I was just being sentimental, but I still think surprisingly little has improved in audio in nearly 20 years!?!? Hence, my "retro" system.My SP-11 sounds great, looks great, feels great and I am listening happily to my system every... 
Review: Linn Tukan Monitor
Sorry to digress slightly, but I once fell in love with the original Kan, used with a Linn turntable and a Naim Nait. Not super high end obviously, but just very musical and fatigue free. Ever since, I keep my eyes open for a reasonably priced use... 
Anybody know the lowest freq on "Who Let The Dogs Out"?
Whatever the frequency, it's not nearly as low as the pop cultural nadir set when this material was released. 
Patricia Barber "Verse" released and online
Does she narrate "Wood is a Pleasant Thing"?Doesn't anyone else think that Patricia Barber has gone off the deep end -- or is it just me?And if you cab stand her later stuff and apparently "Verse", you must find a copy of Split.Very good and good ... 
SEPT 11?
Writing from New York, I am very confused about the actual causes and the best solutions for the future. At the risk of being flamed however, and with sadness and compassion for the families of the victims -- something doesn't sit quite right with... 
What music is not derivative?
Gentle Giant? 
Any James Taylor Fans? New CD Sounds Great.
MaxcastI haven't listened to all of it but I am pretty sure just music. There are also some CD ROM features but I have only played it in my SACD player. Again, this is the "limited edition" version.
