| CD pcm to ................SACD dsd "Wish List" Good call on Coltrane....I wonder if on the original recording if Coltrane is panned HARD to one side like on the reissue or not. That doesn't strike me as typical for a Tom Dowd engineering job. Anybody have any comments? | |
| The majic of early 1970's rock and it's influence- But then again, Elvis imitated Hank Williams et al and all of the black musicians he heard late at night when he could pick up those Chicago and Memphis radio stations. As for Chuck, he was a rytmym and blues man long before he and Little Richard ... | |

| The majic of early 1970's rock and it's influence- Hey Steve...........did you ever think how cheesy/funny it would be to do a medely of 70's lyrics just by jamming random phrases together? How's this? 5rom the darkest depths of Mordor I....see all good people turn their heads.....and hold the red... | |
| The majic of early 1970's rock and it's influence- I will admit that amateur pharmacology can make for what, in hindsight, are some slightly cheesy lyrics. I thing even Jimmy Page and Neil Peart would admit today that they smoked a little to much weed and read Tolkien and Ayn Rand a few too many t... | |
| The majic of early 1970's rock and it's influence- Lou...I must disagree.....most music from any era is mediocre...this is not a problem just with the rock era.

| SACD's to stay away from If you liked Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, you will love Captain Fantastic. My next EJ purchase will probably be Honky Chateau. Don't believ the bad hype about Layla, kids. I read a review that said it was not good because all of the guys sat in the ... | |

| VR-4jr or Gallo Nucleus Reference 3 Celebrer..Conventional wisdom on the Von schweikerts is that they MUST have the plinth filled, preferably with lead shot, but it adds 80 or so pounds to the shipping weight so who knows whether the ones you heard were filled. As for directionality... | |
| VR-4jr or Gallo Nucleus Reference 3 I did not get a chance to hear the Gallo's with an SACD player...they were hooked up to an all Cary system, but when I say there was NO bass, understand that this is coming from a guy who had Spica's for 13 years so I know weak bass..lol. My comme... | |
| VR-4jr or Gallo Nucleus Reference 3 ,y last post got cut off. I ended up with Dali Helicon 400's and these puppies are very efficient for 88 db speakers and they go low. some of the reviewers say that the weak point of the Gallos may be the sub amp. Think about it...what kind of 240... |
