| Dave's Picks 23 Nice! This will be a good addition to the collection. | |
| Brightest but shortest artistic bursts in the sky Remy Shand. Check him out. One album. Brilliant. Gone. | |
| Greatest American Rock and Role Bands of ALL Time It’s the Grateful Dead, hands down for me. I’m pleasantly surprised at how many others feel the same way! | |
| Greatest American Rock and Role Bands of ALL Time You were pushing it with Supertramp because they are from London! :) | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? I carefully wade into this discussion by disclaiming, up front, that I am not very technical when it comes to field of high end audio. However, I'm hooked. I feel like I know "good" sound when I hear it but more importantly I know what sounds "goo... | |
| THE most sonically dissappointing (lp) you own of great music? CSNY Deja Vu. I have the Classic Records 45 RPM which I paid ALL the money for- and it absolutely sucks. | |
| Audio Research Reference 6 Preamp Review I certainly have not. However, I spoke with "a person" at Audio Reaearch about the two. He said, fairly matter-of-factly, that despite the improvement in the Ref 6 power supply that, in his opinion, the 40th Anniversary still out performed it. If ... | |
| Audio Research Reference 6 Preamp Review On a somewhat related note, I've never heard the Ref 6, I own the 40th Anniversary pre. I'm not sure if I'll ever switch, it's been an absolute pleasure. However, I do own the new Ref 3 Phono preamp and it's an extraordinary improvement over the R... | |
| Solid core Versus Stranded Speaker cables There was a time when I switched to solid core speaker cables and was quite pleased. A long-time Vandersteen dealer showed me the cables and told me that although Richard didn't publicly endorse cables these were the ones he often used. Amazingly,... | |
| What has your audiophile experience taught you about yourself? Don_c55"That 95% of all audiophiles are not rational, and unscientific fools!"Thats what you learned about yourself??? | |

| Tube Phono Stage with balls, and slam!! I have the new Audio Research Ref Phono 3. I've been amazed at the punch, slam, speed it delivers. By far the best phono preamp that they have made- (I haven't heard the Ref 10) which is saying something. | |
| "Stairway To Heaven" Plagarism court case Interestingly, I had created a random Spotify "radio" channel just a couple days ago and Taurus came on. I immediately thought to myself- what a Stairway to Heaven rip off. (I’d never heard it before). Then I thought- I wonder which one came first... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? I totally understand both sides of the cable argument. For years I was very judicious with regard to how much I spent on cables and power cords. As the quality of my system improved the more noticeable the changes in cabling became. One year at th... | |
| John Martyn I own virtually all of John Martyn's albums and was fortunate enough to see him play live a couple of times. I will buy the Solid Air reissue when it is released- it should sound great! Check out One World if you get the chance. |
