Brian Bromberg "Jaco" and "Choices" and Michael Manring "Drastic Measures" cd. These disks will give your sub a good workout. 
speaker suggestions for modest arcam alpha system
Mark, I heard some Ruark speakers with Arcam electronics at a dealer a few years ago. They sounded like a good match. I was going to get them until I came across Kinima G1 speakers. They are monitors so you will need stands. There is a new pair fo... 
What was your first music that you paid for?
Grand Funk Railroad "Mark Don & Mel" Bought the album when it first came out. Still have it. 
Contemporary Jazz recommendations?
Go with the above along with Four80east "Nocturnal" cd. What Down to the Bone disk did you hear? I would guess Crazy Vibes or Urban Grooves? Take an ear to Larry Carlton's "Saphire Blue" cd. It kind of reminds me a little of his Crusader days. Che...

Good chance I can make it on the seventh, next Saturday. Sometime after 12, 1pm would be fine. Would like to get something set up by Tuesday. Lets go for some place from the Victor exit. It'll take me about an hour and a half to get there, which i... 
under $300 bookshelfs: does excitement exist?
Dylan, I'll add one more to the list. Kinima G1 from Zetagcorp. To bad the company went belly up, they did make a great speaker. They do come up often on ebay from dealers selling remaining stock.

1st System - Help with cables
Jroth, my first wire, which I am just about to retire is Cardas Crosslink Speaker wire. It is a good starter wire, comes in any length you want and it can be bi-wired. Get some spades on the amp end and air lock bananas on the speaker end. You sho... 
Low cost simple 5.1 pre-amp no processing needed?
I've been using an old Harman Kardon AVR5 with my dvd player for years. This does have 5.1 in and 5.1 pre-out with volume controls for all channels. You should be able to find one for $50 or less on ebay or something. You can't get any cheaper tha...
