Best rock bass player
I agree with Geddy Lee. I listen to a huge variety of music and I don't believe I own any Rush. I have however seen them live in the late 70's/early 80's and I've never heard a bass player as good as him live or recorded. I'm talking electric bass... 
Coltrane
Listening to India as I type this. Going through the '61 Village Vanguard recordings right now. 
Were any of you taping concerts circa 1972-88?
I used to tape off the radio a lot on cassette. I'd have to dig through boxes to find any of it. Funny you mention it because my local brick and mortar is trying to get me back into cassette as I have a player in my SUV. He's made me some amazing ... 
Say Hello to the Newb
Hi Newb. I like your system. When I started out for the second time, I bought a NAD C317 with a NAD CDP and B&W DM602's and that system really sounded amazing. I still think about it and all the good times I had with it. I was young and extrem... 
How does one "Get lost in the music"?
What's on your mind. That's where the problem lies. I bet you if Elizabeth made you some pot cookies you might get lost in the music. Or your could try a nice single malt. I'm enjoying an 18 year old Talisker right now and I'm just about at the po... 
Recommend me a warm sounding 5 channel power amp
Aver79, are you out there? 
CNN article
I saw that when it came out. It's a very poorly thought out article. 
Floorstanding Speakers for Bluesy Rock 5-10k ?
I never thought I would buy a sub and I never wanted one. I now have one as of 4 days ago and it's made me a believer. I guess if you want two systems then go for it. If two systems is not suitable to your needs you should really give a sub a try.... 
Which REL sub, R528 or B2
And BOl1972, I'm just busting your chops. We all have strong opinions of what we like. That's normal. That's why we have strong opinions on our suggestions to listen for yourself and then decide. It takes awhile for people to comprehend this. 
Which REL sub, R528 or B2
It's all good. I love my B2 but obviously I'm a moron. I can accept that. 
Marantz PM-11 S3 - thoughts?
I auditioned the 11S2. Beautiful build quality. The upper end was lacking big time so that might have been an area of improvement with the S3. I ended up with the Hegel H200 because I liked the sound a lot more and didn't need all the features of ... 
Head Amp For Naim Uniticute2 Help Appreciated
It's your lucky day. The Schiit Lyr can be had for about $450. I got mine from Audio Advisor. Check out the reviews at 6 Moons and other sites to see if it's something you'd enjoy. It's very powerful and matches well with my AKG702's. I rarely use... 
Do you indulge when listening to your rig?
For my coffee consumption, I use a 42 ounce Frieling French Press. I hand grind Jamaican Blue Mountain beans in a Kyocera CM-50 with a modified lower bearing to assure consistency of grind. Coffee is one of the things the U.S. just can't get right... 
Which REL sub, R528 or B2
And I would like to add this. This subwoofer is a game changer. Although the thing is huge, I have it dialed in perfectly. I'm having possibly the best audio evening I've ever had. The subwoofer is a must have for monitors. 
Which REL sub, R528 or B2
This is my first sub so I have nothing to compare it to. It's been running for about an hour and I'm in love with this thing already. I'm sure there's a better sub for me out there but I wouldn't know it right now. For me at this moment, this is t...
