| Music for "Tough Times" Just about anything by Mozart does the trick for me; specially the wind concerti. After all, it's the only music that causes my pet bird to sing along (no kidding). Quick pick-me-up. Although I find that it's not always a specific composer but the... | |
| Top Ten Speaker Cables of all time?... Best speaker cables I ever used were the capacitor and inductor coil leads from my rebuilt MGIIIA crossovers that I connected to the tube monos sitting right behind the panels. Incredible. | |
| sometimes you just need to tap your toes It IS about the music not the gear. In fact I make a point of not bringing "audiophile" recordings to audition gear. My reasoning is this: most gear worth auditioning will probably not make a great recording sound bad; in other words, a great SOUN... | |
| It is frustrating..... Gentlemen, who cares if some go to be seen. The arts have always attracted some who go "to be seen". Look at it as a compliment to your good taste. Not much different than the audiophile who buys the most expensive gear while being clueless as to ... | |
| Holy Mackeral...The Meters do rule For anyone interested, the Meters are playing in NYC 3/31 at Erving Plaza. | |
| It is frustrating..... Sorry for the double post folks. Trouble with my log on. Sugarbrie, I could'nt agree with you more concerning "cross-over artists". Allow me to relate an experience I had working under "maestro" McFerrin. I had the pleasure of working as an extra ... | |

| Kinergetics SW200 rip-off ?? Thanks Sedond, I'm intrigued. | |
| Audio Gremlins and Musical Instruments Amen, Chelillingworth. | |
| You got to show me something more! Many of the best instrumentalists (and singers for that matter) wether they are "classical" players or jazz players study(ied) with the same teachers for developing a solid foundation of technical mastery of their instrument. For wind players, one... | |
| Kinergetics SW200 rip-off ?? Juslisten, I believe you're right. I have in fact been looking for a pair of SA4OTL's. Thanks for your comments. | |
| Apogee Stage: Midrange Magic? I have never heard midrange as realistic (complete and colorful like real music, yes the sound of real intruments is very colorful) as from the Stax F-81 electrostatic. Very difficult speaker in many ways; but as far as what turns me on (midrange ... | |
| Best Classical Music Conductor You are absolutely correct Dacostab, it depends upon the piece of music. Perhaps it would be interesting for some to get the perspective of a musician who has worked with these conductors: Kurt Mazur, great with the big Germanic works; lame with M... |
