Integrated thingy
Linn Classik. Love mine and I use it with Sequerra Met 7...which I think is a nice combo. I would also second the idea of a YBA. More tube-like than the Classik perhaps (though nothing is really as good as tubes). I currently use my Classik as pre... 
Single-driver speakers for 2W 45 SET monoblocks
Why not cain and cain abbys or super abbys? It seems an obvious choice. For 3k you can have a pair of bailey subwoofers too.

Hi guys,Sean, I'm using a stealth silverline mk II cable between my Nak CD 4 and my D2A. Otherwise, I'm using the Mobile Spec "greenies" (that I bought from you, In fact). I've tried changing them out to see if that made a difference...since I was...

A meeting by the River....
Thanks guys...I'll check some of those recording out and get back to you. I've heard a couple of titles before so I'm sure that they're good. Todd 
A meeting by the River....

Terry Evans and the Blues
Sorry that Putumayo label. 
Terry Evans and the Blues
Hi Craig,There are a couple of very interesting cd's that combine the music of West Africa and American Blues. Of course the roots of the blues are in West AFrica. A good sampler album is Mali to Memphis on the Putumayo album. A simply fantastic a... 
Best Movie Soundtrack
Again, I'm mostly disappointed by soundtrack albums....didn't care for the cheesy dialogue clips on Gladiator. Also, I don't think that the music has any soul on it's own...it was written for the movie it sounds like. One movie soundtrack that I d... 
Cowboy Junkies Fans........
Hey, I saw something in another thread about this, but I can't find it again. Where can I get a Trinity Session in Gold format? Is it impossible? I've searched the net to no avail. 
Bob Dylan, have an opinion?
I still haven't discovered the key to enjoying Dylan. Agreed, he is an amazing bard/poet, but I just get tired of hearing his voice. I can tolerate it for about 3 or 4 songs. But after that, I'll take the Tribute to Dylan albums out and replace Bl... 
The Unbelievable Sheila Chandra...
Thanks guys, I'll be interested in hearing what you think Craig and Albert, I was truly blown away. She sounded great on my Vandys Craig. I wrote that email in a tizzy. That was the Real World LABLE (Peter Gabriel's outfit) sorry for the error. Be... 
The universal language?
I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Mali from 95-99...that's how come I know about these guys.
