| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... John - I'll have to give the new Frazey some more play time. Sometimes things grow on you after time, but after three plays nothing was really clicking with me. I was wrong about a new solo from her: I had gone to The Be Good Tanyas site and saw t... | |

| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Speaking of chicks with banjos; Abigail Washburn's latest is pretty good, but did like her first best. | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... JDoris - The Jennys at the Mauch Opera House is wonderful. It's a great live recording that'll make you want to see them live if you have not already. I agree with you that Firecracker is not as strong as 40 Days, but I still like it. I haven't he... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Indeed - that Sarah Jorosz CD is great. It came out in 2009 though. A bit more recent if you like her...perhaps...folksy, alt-country, girl with beautiful voice and string instruments...one of my favorites of recent is Martha Tilston, Lucy and the... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Could you point us to examples of manufacturers or models that are well suited to a low damping factor amp (as a proud Atma-sphere S-30 owner I am quite interseted in your suggestions).I've heard Ralph's amps sounding great with Classic Audio spea... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Although you are a living and shining example of the Peter Principle.I think there's even a bit of John Gabriel's theory at work right here on this illuminating thread as well.I read a post a while back on another site that is worth reflecting on ... | |

| Perfect Debute Albums Great call on Lhasa de Sala, what a beautiful album. Also Chris Whitley (I think the first was his best too).Here's a few more - some rather personal favorites I guess - not exactly maninstream:Madeleine Peyroux / DreamlandNeutral Milk Hotel / On ... | |

| Rockport experience wanted You might want to contact Mike Lavigne, who is currently selling his after 8 years. He's a bit further than PA though. | |
| Looking for help with speaker upgrades... Just because a speaker delivers sounds down at 20hz does not mean those sounds closely resemble the sounds of those things that originated them on the recording. OTOH you can get very engaging results from speakers that don't reach those depths. J... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? That's a really tough one as it's difficult to match the speed and dynamic prowess of horns. I struggled with it after having to go to a smaller listening space and knew I'd be limited to more traditional dynamic speakers because of the space limi... | |
| Looking for help with speaker upgrades... Daedalus Ulysses would be on my short list. His DA-RMa would fall squarely into your budget at the top end and give up only some of the low-end grunt that the Ulysses has in spades. I've not heard them with your amp though, but they are superb, fu... | |
