| Your favorite prog rock music? ? I must have skimmed too quickly. I'm glad to see someone else out there likes 'em too. | |
| Your favorite prog rock music? ? Add "Porcupine Tree" (any and all albums) to the list. | |
| How revealing are Grado sr-60s'? I've owned the SR-60's for quite some time and love them. Very detailed and neutral to my ears. There is NO extremely low bass however. If that's a major criterion, look elsewhere. | |

| Music out there with good bass Some suggestions: "Secret World" by Peter Gabriel has bass that wraps around and envelopes you in a way that's difficult to explain until you experience it. Tool on any of their cds has generally some of the coolest bass tones ever recorded. "Perf... | |
| Starting a high-end audio shop... Am I crazy? As a previous owner of a failed "passion" business, I would advise against it. The passion gets dilluted and the financial reality hits hard. Then again, if I hadn't tried I might always have wondered what might have been. And if I had succeeded, ... | |
| "Tell the industry what you want" postingboard Of course we design in features that have proved popular and we even look for ideas in other product lines. Sometimes, in spite of having what we think is a strong list of useful features, a product will fall short of sales expectations and other ... | |

| any Dream Theater listeners out there? I think Dream Theater is amazing. One of a handful of progressive bands keeping the genre alive. Also check out Porcupine Tree. Awesome! | |
| Any Tool fans out there. Tool has been one of my favorite bands since Undertow. I saw them at Red Rocks with King Crimson and that was one of the best concerts I've ever seen. I also love Perfect Circle although the sound quality isn't in the same league as Tool. | |
| Listening at very low volume Eldartford, I'm curious about headphone listening. I'm often in a situation where headphones are the only practical way to enjoy music. I do use them but I'm not crazy about the musical event sounding like it's coming from inside my head. Does a t... | |
| XM or Sirius Jaybo, I completely agree. My wife gave me an XM receiver for Christmas and I had flashbacks to the best radio shows and formats I've listened to over the past 30 years. I'm more than a little bummed that they took the Prog/Jamband channel off the... | |
| How to get 2 Channel and Home theater in one packa One commonly accepted approach is to use a receiver as the surround amplifier and a separate preamp/amp combination for two channel.
