New favorite VINYL Album?
I recently had a audiophile friend over for a listen.He brought his copy of Sphere's "Flight Path". It absolutely floored me. It had such a low sound floor. I really don't know much about these guys other than they were Tholonius Monk's band.These...

Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles?
I would be very interested in coming to your store and hearing some of your gear. As for the analog vs. digital discussion,I personally prefer LPs to silver discs but also enjoy digital for it's incredible variety of performers/groups that were no... 
Jelco Tone Arms 9 and 12 inch
I have a Audioquest PT-6 on a VPI HMW-19 jr with a Benz Micro Gold cartridge. It sounds great and it is getting better. Can anyone tell me what the best method for azimuth adjustment is with this setup? Also, is there a VTA accessory like the Pete... 
To turn off or not to turn off
I have a Hafler 220 that I built from a kit in 1979.About 6 months after I built it, the power switch quit working,leaving it in a power on condition. I got a new switch from Hafler but have never installed it.The amp has been on continuously ever...

Has anyone heard the Emotiva XPA-2? 250 a side and very nice looking construction all for $800.00 !

Being a countertenor,I have a special love for Purcell.I will have to check out the consort of viols.Has anyone tried the Purcell and Blow Countertenor Duets with Michael Chance and James Bowman on Hyperion?I want Purcell for my funeral. 
CD's you bring for auditioning
Nimbus Benjamin Britten string music (fantasia on a theme by Frank Bridge).Argo Kings College Herbert Howells Return to Forever "Romantic Warrior"Joni Mitchell "Song to a Seagull" 
MOODY BLUES CD'S
Since the original recordings where well done on analog tape,I feel that there is not much to gain from a half-speed master or a import as far as CDs go.LPs are another story if they ever bring them back.I can tell you first hand that the Mofi "Da... 
Jethro Tull questions...
I have been a huge fan for a long time.Aqualung is my least favorite,probably because it is the most played on the radio.I love Stand Up and Benefit(phase 1).I like War Child and Aqua Lung,but Thick as a Brick(phase 2)best.Passion Play is just str... 
Beethoven Ninth Symphony
I really like the Hanover Band's period accurate using Beethoven's notes for a London performance. It is radically different than any other that I have heard.The chorus is hands down the best, with a trim tone and not a huge wash of vibrato. Also ... 
The old timers give the young'ns tips on the 60s.
I read many of the above, and skipped a few but I didn't see any thing about the Moody Blues.Days of Future Passed came out in 1968.I second for Jethro Tull,one of my favs.There are so many.It was the best of times,it was............ 
Apple TV vs Wadia 170i?
These are both intriguing products.The Apple TV has much a much better interface and saves the steps of creating play lists and transferring to ipod. I would think the Wadia would be the ultimate audio boutique machine,in that any customer that ca...
