| Impress Your Friends and Seduce Women! Ikarus, I think most of us would like to "impress" on our friends the joy of (well reproduced) music. I find music so rejuvenating that I have a hard time believing everyone couldn't benefit from it. (Of course not all that many folks are willing ... | |
| AV PreAmp vs. AV Receiver Thanks for the advice, gentleman. In this situation, the room and furniture do not allow for surround sound speaker set up. I am really looking to be able to use a DVD player both for movies and cd in a system that gets very little use. I was most... | |
| Impress Your Friends and Seduce Women! Mr. London, you must get Lyle Lovett "Joshua Judges Ruth." Play track 4, sit back, marvel your friends, and seduce your women. Good luck! Charlie | |

| Best female vocals on CD I have a classical sampler with introductions by Sandra King (of NPR.) Her voice makes me weak in the knees. Does this count? | |
| Best wires for cost I really enjoy my Clearview Golden Helix cables from the boys at Mapleshade. mapleshaderecords.com $85 for 8', 30-day money back. In/for MY system, I prefer them to my MIT and XLO Ultra Type 6 cables that are now collecting some expensive dust, (a... | |
| CD Recorder that has decent sound? Musikdoc, I was fishin' for the same info, (strength of analogue to digital recording,) and emailed Tascam, (one of the "pro" recorders Craig mentioned above,) but did NOT get an answer from them. It has only been a month, maybe they will get back... | |
