| Any James Taylor Fans? New CD Sounds Great. Sorry -- the name is "October Road". You might have to buy the "limited edition" version which actually contains 2 CDs -- the other disc including the "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight" that I mentioned, the Yo Yo Ma and something about Mark Knopfle... | |

| Describe The Listening Room of Your Dreams... Albertporter -- Thank you. You can visit any time, although I don't yet have a turntable and I can't guarantee Audrey Hepburn. (My girlfriend looks a little bit like her, however.)Natalie -- Are rounded corners beneficial for standing waves or som... | |
| Any stores/resellers to buy tubes in NYC???? I was hoping to find replacement tubes, and I don't think they do sell them at Living Stereo and I unfortunately had a very disappointing experience.I don't know which member of the crew met (ignored?) me and my girlfriend on Saturday, but the guy... | |
| Patricia Barber "Verse" released and online I have every CD Patricia Barber has released and will probably buy this one too.And maybe it is just me, but does anyone else think it has all gone straight downhill after "Split"?I saw Patricia Barber live a few times in the late 80's at the tiny... | |
| Can you work hard while listening to music? TWLWhat about James Taylor "Dad Loves His Work" Isley Brothers "Work to Do" Mick Jagger "Let's Work" Disney's "Whistle While You Work".....Seriously, I have had some luck on this subject with the Red Rose SACD: Elliot Fisk plays Bach and Scarletti... | |
| Have You Ever Put Your Golden Ears to the Test?? This question strikes fear in the hearts of audiophiles, perhaps because it takes some of the fun away or suggests that we have all spent way too much money on audio gear.I have been interested in this hobby for many many years and consider myself... | |
| System for weekly traveller to use in hotel room I use a Grado headphone amplifier which is relatively compact, gives reasonable battery life with a 9 volt battery and sounds very good with headphones.Do you wish to carry CDs and a player of some sort or are you willing to use a computer and com... | |
| Can someone recommend a few Joni Michell albums? It's all about Blue. | |
| Can you work hard while listening to music? TWL -- You also forgot Devo: Workin' in a Coal Mine.....but I meant this to be a serious thread.Has anyone heard about research done on the effect of various composers on intellectual development? Or is the baby Mozart stuff just some hoax markete... | |
| Jazz Recommendations Musicdok and others:I, too, love Vince Guaraldi's Charlie Brown music. I think it made its mark on me as a kid watching the cartoons and I have listened to it during the holidays for years ever since.I was a little embarrassed, however, when I "in... | |
| Amplifiers Recomm. to drive my Martin Logans I too agree that a monster tube amp might be ideal, but if you are looking for a bargain basement solution, a trusty old Aragon 4004 MK II worked very well for me on a pair of ML SL3s.It drove the hell out of them, sounded just fine, and never gav... | |
| Maggies or Martin Logans? I have owned both Martin Logans and Magneplanars and generally prefer Magneplanars, finding them to be more musical and ultimately more satisfying.I would say, however, that MLs have two advantages: 1) the dynamic woofers, although not seamlessly ... | |
| Positioning Magneplanars for Optimum Performance Any scientists, engineers, or Tympani owners reading?It seems that moving the V shaped bass panels closer to the rear wall diminishes the bass, which is counterintuitive to me. I am now getting reasonable, although not staggering, amounts of bass ... | |
| Why is Shahinian not more popular No offense, but I never understood the fuss over Shahinian Obelisks.A friend of mine in London sold his Apogee Stage speakers to buy a pair of them and I found them to be perfectly ordinary.I would love to hear from others who have discovered magi... |
