| Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet Michael is one of the very few reviewers who actually gives true insight into the sound of a product. He is not afraid to point out strengths and weaknesses. With Michael--not every piece of gear is the best ever. I will follow him at Absolute Sou... | |

| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding Anyone who missed his last two tours have missed him at his best since he toured with Tom Petty in 1986. IMHO. Obviously very different but gripping and with a great band. | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding Agree on Dave Matthews. Good musicianship but boring and the drummer thinks he is the center of the band and hits the skins way too much. | |

| Best unplugged live RDK777: McCartney unplugged in 1991 was excellent. Even more so on vinyl "Paul McCartney Unplugged the official bootleg" It is an MPL production but available only as a Hispa Vox (Spanish) pressing. It sounds great. | |
| Wilson Alexia - speaker placement question I have Alexia 2s in a NYC apartment which has your exact dimensions 16x21x9. My speakers are 19" from the front wall at the rear inside corner of the toed in cabinet. The speakers fire down the long walls to my seat. The walls are dense plaster. ... | |
| Sound Better w/Amp Directly Into Wall Then Thru Zero Surge I am a Shunyata fan. I’ve had the original Hydra and Tritons 1,2 and 3. Each time I update my power conditioner, I plug my amps into the Shunyata to see what happens. Each time, the sound is less powerful and more restricted than if I plug the amp... | |
| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. I prefer the VPI unipivot for its speed and clarity in the midrange-- although not quite as strong in the bass as the fatboy. | |
