Review: Lucinda Williams "Essence"
It's starting to grow on me but I don't think I could go an inch further in that direction. One twang'd note and I'm standing in line at the return counter. This has been her saving grace so far. (no voice twanging) I think the twang I heard was j... 
Anybody into Ben Harper?
Cornfed, The way I see it. If I can learn to jam like Ben maybe I can be next in line for what's sneakin out the back door at Billy Bob's house. OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY!!!! 
Review: Lucinda Williams "Essence"
OK, I picked up *ESSENSE* My first Lucinda CD. It's country music right? Does everyone on this thread agree? In all honesty the first listen did not knock my socks off.(Although I did enjoy the first track) I try to keep an open mind when listenin... 
Anybody into Ben Harper?
Based on this thread I picked up "Welcome to the cruel world" SWEET!!! 
Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list
Wow! What a thread. This one's going to cost me a fortune at the music store. I agree with so many of your selections and will experiment with many recommendations. I can't tell you guys and girls how nice it is to pull winners off the shelves eve... 
Last months play list
Someone had a thread going the other day on Ben Harper. I went out and picked up his first record "Welcome to the cruel world" I have listened to it everyday now for about a week. GOOD STUFF! I have heard a lot about Lucinda Willams recently. I li... 
the best of five channel amp....
I'm waiting on a Theta Dreadnaught myself. Lots of clean power. 200wx5 into 8ohms. Balanced on all 5 channels. Retail $6000.00. The last three I've seen here went around $4000.00 used. Still a little rich for my blood. 
Recommended recording

Armor-all
WOW, This thread is getting a lot of positive response. And I just happen to have an unopened can of armor-all in the garage. I think I'll do my whole collection. Mine as well do the DVD's too. Hope I don't run out.NOT!:~) 
Can someone explain db sensitivity?
After reading this thread I'd say the answer is no. Know one can explain db sensitivity. At least not in a language that I can understand. I still want to contribute so here's my take. Find a pre-amp that has a volume control that goes to 11. This... 
digital cable\coax cable-what's the diff
Good job AVGUY I would just like to fine tune it a little more. If your TV and DVD player have *COMPONENT VIDEO* Capability. (Inputs on the TV) (Outputs on the DVD player). Use them for the highest quality video connection. This will require a Tri... 
HomeGrown SSII vs. MIT Term2???
You may want to think one notch higher if you go with the MIT's. I have owned a lot of MIT cable and quite a few pair's of thiel speakers. I once used a terminator 3 with a pair of 1.5's. I up graded to 750 shotguns and noticed a remarkable differ... 
Speaker Posts
I have had the same problem. I've been thinking of using a spade to banana adaptor. However I sure hate having to pass the signal through it. For now I'm bending the spades but I have headed for the tool box to get my cutters more than once. Just ... 
Short Out Plugs
One quick continuity test and mission accomplished. Thanks everyone for the good advise on this thread. I built 12 short out plugs for under $12.00. I think I'll do my other pre-amp just for the Halibut. You know I even think I noticed a differenc... 
Short Out Plugs
Since you asked here is a quote from my Theta Casa Nova manual. " The Casa Nova can be susceptible to excessive RF. Shorting plugs in all unused inputs will improve the sound quality and may reduce the susceptibility to RF induced anomalies".
