| good recordings of Bob Marley The Simply Vinyl release of Marley's "Kaya" on heavy vinyl is one of the better Marley recordings I've heard. | |
| Looking for Cello and Guitar Are you thinking only of classical music? Norman and Nancy Blake play guitar and cello on a number of their recordings. But this is traditional Appalachian music/bluegrass/old-time stuff. And they are very good indeed in those styles. | |
| mother passed away - pro recording help needed Please accept my sincere condolences.Use a DAT portable deck, good minidisc recorder, or Sony D6C cassette player. Don't use a cheap mic, as you seem to be after the nuances. Use a "Low Cost Core-Sound" binaural microphone. You will be stunned by ... | |
| Perfect Soundtrack for Stylish Sunday Lunch? Can't go wrong with Gillian Welch's, "Soul Journey" and "Time (The Revelator)." In my opinion, her work is state-of-the-art Americana, which the overseas friends might like. Or, more mellow, Bill Evans, "Waltz for Debby." | |

| Better stands for Spendor SP100? My strong recommendation for Spendor speaker stands is Sound Anchor. Heavy steel, spiked, rock-solid, beautifully made. I have a pair under my Spendor SP1/2E speakers (similar in size to the SP100's), and they work great.Jim | |
| Better than Aries Scout?: the New VPI Scoutmaster Hi Doug,Thanks very much for the thoughtful suggestions about my turntable upgrade path. I'm not an experienced DIY technician, so I've not thought seriously before of the Teres route. But I like the idea of using the RB-250 (modified) on the new ... | |
| VPI vs Nitty Gritty I am very happy with my new VPI 16.5 record cleaner. (Thanks to Mike and the guys at Audio Alternative in Atlanta). I compared it in the shop to the Nitty Gritty machine in the same price range, and while both seemed to clean well, the VPI seemed ... | |

| Where have all the protest songs gone? Steve Earle, yes. And Sinead O'Connor in her better moments. Also, rap music--like an earlier generation of reggae--has a lot of the protest spirit that's missing in other genres. Much of it also panders to the market's desire for vulgarity and co... | |
