| Recommendation Lindley/Ry Cooder Both he and Ry deserve better, but that's the biz isn't it? Most folks never hear about the Lindleys, Cooders, Prines, Buffalos or - insert name here - of the music world. At least Cooder is getting some attention because of the Buena Vista advent... | |
| Recommendation Lindley/Ry Cooder Rbischoff, thanks for the heads-up, I'll check it out. I second Joeabrams' recommendation for El Rayo-X (I like to crank Mercury Blues up in the car!) and suggest a follow up album with Lindley and El Rayo-X called "Very Greasy." Produced by - no ... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... Timchen, Jim Murray's "Complete Guide to Whiskey" is a comprehensive and enjoyable introduction to whiskeys - Scotch, Irish, Bourbon, Rye and Canadian. | |
| Any B.A.T. amp owners-love or not Can't speak to the reliability of the VK6200 but I'm a long time owner of a VK200 which, besides being an excellent amp, has not demonstrated any major problems. As far as service goes, Victor, Steve and Geoff are proactive, quickly responding to ... | |
| Sound is too thin. What to upgrade, add or remove? All the suggestions re room treatments are right on. And I agree with Cello re Symposium's Rollerblocks. Isolate your components and try out some Svelte Shelves or, better, some Ultra platforms under your source and preamp. Using Svelte Shelves wi... | |
| Eerie, Ethereal, Moody, Involving Soundtracks ...and Bultacos and Montesas and CZs...man, what a time that was. Elsinore and Perris were still out in the sticks and suburban sprawl was still twenty years off. None of us thought that McQueen would ever crash, much less die. Now there's tract h... | |
| Eerie, Ethereal, Moody, Involving Soundtracks ...and if you like Knopfler, check out "Last Exit to Brooklyn" - talk about eerie and moody. | |

| P300 power plant and ultimate outlet routing Like Timo, I plugged my P300 into the second duplex on the UO and then run my 508.24 and integrated from the P300. | |
| Looking for some sax sp music If Clemons strikes a nerve with you then I suggest you look for recordings by King Curtis, such as "Soul Meeting," " Night Train" (a classic) or "The New Scene of King Curtis." Also, you might like Red Holloway who plays both a fine tenor and alto... | |
| Any vets among the Audiophiles here? US Army. 5th Mechanized Infantry in VN. 7th Infantry in Korea. Made it home, largely in one piece, in 1970. Waiting for me at home, besides my fiance, was my first stereo system which I bought on RR in Japan...I was pretty excited by both. | |
| Set up for Vandy 2CE sigs I've enjoyed both 1Cs and 2CEs in combo with a tubed (EL34) push pull 30wpc integrated driven by a Meridian 508.24. Running with Siltech ICs and Cardas NR speaker cable in a 15x12x8 room. Listen, primarily, to acoustic jazz and sometimes at higher... | |
| Native American Music Nakai produced two albums with Paul Horn, "Inside Monument Valley" and "Inside Canyon de Chelly" which are excellent. Agree with Goinbroke about "Songs of Rainbow World" and also recommend "Inner Voices" by Nakai. I believe all are released thru C... |
