| Favorite solo piano players...cds Chris Anderson is AMAZING. I've never heard anyone play the piano like him. Horace Tapscott is definitely worth checking out too! | |
| Best Vibes in Jazz We recorded a NY vibist, Joe Locke, a number of years ago who's supposed to be awesome. (We haven't released the recording yet, so I haven't heard it first hand.) I saw a nice write up on Joe recently in Down Beat (?) recently and he has a new alb... | |
| Speaker Cable Lengths - W/ Monos Craig. Your point is well taken. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet. Audiopman's post seemed to be focused on the preferred cable length when used with Monoblocks. From what I've been taught, it's important to ask "What's the optimum length for... | |
| Where to buy new rock LP s? Some of it's for the same reason that un-punk folks still buy vinyl: bigger pictures/nicer artwork and a warmer, more intimate sound. MDC sounds like they're in my living room when played on my Rykocut through Sound Dynamic RTS-3s.There's also an ... | |
| Listening to music online Sorry if I was a bit vague. I'm trying to be careful not to cross the line between conversation and advertising/self promotion. Hopefully, I'm not doing so now. This just seems like an excellent forum for advice.We consistently get this feedback f... | |

| Speaker Cable Lengths - W/ Monos I'd suggest proceeding with caution, and if possible listen and compare before doing something irreversable to your cables. I'm certainly no expert, but it seems that each model/brand of cables has it's own unique characteristics. Just because Joe... | |
| Where to buy new rock LP s? Just curious, are you looking for new reissues of classic rock or new music by contemporary groups? | |
| Guilty pleasure,Del Shannon,C.Baker etc. Oops, that should be "nobody's". I gotta learn to proof read. | |
| Guilty pleasure,Del Shannon,C.Baker etc. If it makes you feel any better, I listen to Journey sometimes when nobodies around | |
| This kills me... That's pretty ironic. It's sorta the online version of a disappointment I've faced frequently since I started buying music. It always sucks when I see/hear a great band live and buy their CD based on the performance. Then I listen to it and think ... | |
| Is the Live Music Reference Correct? Keis,Try aiming your musical outings towards smaller, more intimate venues. Maybe even seek out one or two venues where you enjoy the sound/ambience. For me, live music isn't simply an aural experience. I certainly appreciate a good sounding stere... | |
| Best Movie Soundtrack If your talkin' about a good compilation of enjoyable music, then I dig: "Repo Man", "Pump Up The Volume" and "Married To the Mob" | |
| Best Bass On CD Vote 2001=JAMES CARTER Andy McKee's "Sound Roots" for acoustic bass or Midnite's "Ras Mek Peace" for electric bass. Not to mention, "Sound Roots" is my favorite recording in our catalog. |
