The New Led Zeppelin releases
Actually, I was very interested in this post and kept on checking back over the past 24 hours to see what others had to say. When there finally wasn't much of anything, I simply went to Acoustic Sounds and ordered the vinyl of "The Song Remains th... 
Catchy tunes that sound great?
You'll look betterIn a sweater Washed in Woolite!(I always found that one quite catchy. I think it sounded OK, too.) 
High power amplifier and small speakers??
I have quite high-powered amps (McCormack DNA 0.5 monos, modded by SMC Audio, which put out several hundred watts each) driving relatively small speakers (B&W 805 Signatures) and I'm really quite happy with the setup. It took me some time to g... 
Which TT Music Hall 5.1 or Rega P1 or P2
A few years back, I sold my Rega P2 and picked up a MMF5. (Not the 5.1.) But I was never happy with the Music Hall, and ended up buying back the Rega, with upgraded wiring and counterweight. It's a matter of taste, of course. I listen to a lot of ...

audiophiles get mention in today's WSJournal
"Seriously, why would I listen to a guy whose medium is dead??" Well, let's see. The print edition of the WSJ, just in these United States, has a circulation of more than 1.6 million. The online edition has a million paid subscribers. (One can't s... 
Your First Concert was.....
Bob Dylan and The Rolling Thunder Review in Springfield, Mass., in 1975. I knew even as it was happening how very lucky I was to be there, in row 11. 
Zeppelin on vinyl
Thanks for the information, Jaybo. I look forward to these releases. -- Howard 
Best sounding LP nobody else has ever heard of...
Here's another vote for The Blue Nile. I've got their first two albums on Linn Records, and they both sound fantastic. ("A Walk Across the Rooftops" is the debut, and "Hats," which I think is a nearly perfect record from start to finish, is their ... 
"Get Behind Me Satan" on vinyl
Guess I shouldn't have allowed myself a bit of hyperbolic enthusiasm when what I was really wanting was an answer from someone who might know something that I simply don't know. I prefer vinyl. And I love Jack and Meg White's little band. I'm wond...
