Sarah Brightman Concert
Sam: Jim Nabors gives off that same impression on the old Gomer Pyle reruns when the sound is muted. 
Wrong direction?
Dragon: Many people feel the same way about the Acadamy Awards, the Grammy's, etc.. Some people can walk into a wine shop and select an excellent bottle of wine without memorizing Robert Parker's or The Wine Spectator reviews. Some people can walk... 
Greatest Guitar Band
Mikec: If you have not yet, check out the Cowboy Junkies. They will change your mind about one new band, theirs anyway. The one thing that I find missing in most modern popular songs is the guitar solo. Where is it? 
CAL Audio or other CD/DVD players
Hi Scott: I own the CAL Icon Mk II and have been very happy with it. I place it on a sheet of MDF over Vibrapods and have also switched the power cord to a Harmonic Tech. Pro 11. These additions cost another $150.00 but were worth it to me. It has...

Thanks Mikec: Little Wing is one of my favorite's done by JH. The only time that I have heard SRV was on a TV special that showed concert footage a couple years back, and I was very impressed. He did a Hendrix tune then but I think that it was dif... 
Mapleshade versus Stealth
Come on Carl. Where is your sense of adventure? Let's hear about the Stealth cables, pretty please. LOL. 
Will a DAC mellow Denon DCM 360
Thanks Ehider. Very interesting. Didn't an industry publication follow up on the findings of your gruop? Seems like I read that somewhere, maybe at AA. 
Help me find a smooth solid-state amp?
Djjp: Sorry I typed 500 and meant 300 hours above. Still quite a long time, though my little Castles took around 200 or so being played at lower levels. 
Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak?
How about, not humming along improves perceived detail then? 
Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak?
Khrys: Yawning (shortly thereafter) adds detail.

Garfish: Since you mentioned the Thunderbirds, I may as well through in the Fab. Rhinestones, Electric Flag and (barf) Spooky Tooth. I have never really listened to SRV and wonder if he ever did a cover of the song "Trouble"? I searched the record... 
Greatest Guitar Band
Wsmatau: Sorry, no I do not. I just happened to see it one Sunday evening when I was a teenager. It was not pleasant to watch as Chet was somewhat hurt and embarrassed. I suspect that if there was any kind of a rehearsal, that Clapton held back a ...

Nice speakers, IMO. I auditioned them twice and almost purchased them. I listened to them with ARC tube gear and a Classe integrated. They sounded better with tubes, but still great with the Classe. They also require, beleive it or not, around 500... 
Shopping CD players: my big adventure
Swampwalker: After recent gear purchases my hi-fi budget for a changer is around $150.00. That is what makes the Aiwa "really" attractive. LOL. The $150.00 was originaly set aside for a used PC upgrade for my CAL Icon II as I am going to steal the...

Yup, Duane. All blondes look alike to me.
