| 5 most recognizable voices in American music? The average person, seeing a Captain Beefhart show, would think he and his mates were a big spoof -a put on. No! This was who they were. Their music was utterly flawless. Their music WAS their reality. Like Hendrix, they were not their true selves... | |
| 5 most recognizable voices in American music? John Lee Hooker, Dolly Parton, John Denver, Todd Rundgren, Don Van Vliet (Captain Beefhart - 5 octave range?).Heard Bing Crosby today on the car radio singing "White Christmas".Comfort food for your ears. Merry Christmas! | |
| Looking for advice on speaker cables for proac d38 and arc ref 150 I've been using OCC copper for the last 20 years (mostly Harmonic Technology mostly with ARC and BAT electronics). Sounds good to me... | |
| 'outboard' high end dac's I know the Oppo 105 will not pass 24/192 hi-res to my Rega DAC (bummer). | |
| I should have never .... Try some Thiel 2.4s driven by Prima Luna integrated (OCC copper cables, of course). | |
| speakers on pallet My Thiel 2.4 SE were shipped two to a pallet with woofers up. Also, Thiel inserted some heavy foam rubber (appeared to be shipping base for some kind of speaker) in between the speakers. The foam rubber was higher than the boxes so trucking compan... | |
| Thanks all you Audiogon folk! This is the "Golden Age" of audio. So many worthy, brilliant designs. It sometimes breaks my heart that I can't listen to or purchase equipment that would surely amaze and satisfy. We recognize your achievements, dear audio designers, but we can't... | |

| Dark Side of the Moon - Is MFSL really all that? My 2011 Capitol remaster is the best sounding vinyl I own. | |

| Long lost songs Minkwelder: I don't think it was live -I'll check it out. Also, wasn't there a Byrds version of "So you want to be a rock-n-roll star" with no trumpet? Speaking of trumpets, could "El Solo Toro" be the song tatyana69 is looking for? | |
| Long lost songs I sort of remember a hotter version of Stones "Under My Thumb". The one on every album is slower than what I'm thinking of. Did they release a 45 with a faster tempo version? | |

| Upgrade my DAC or buy more weed? jafant: You don't think music is a drug? The reason I like THC is it lets me escape (transcend?) the "common". It lets me shed my "Mr. Greenjeans" brain and slip into my "Fred Astaire" self. Not bad for a few puffs. |
