| Does your system reflect your personality? Well I'm simple-minded and childish so I have a system that's shiny silver and glows! | |
| Did I do ok? Reubent,It's ok if it doesn't do SACD or DVD-A, I thought I saw that in the Oade Bros. product description. As long as it is a well built, good quality DVD-V player I'll be happy. | |
| Any gillian welch fans? I love Gillian Welch. Revival is a killer album. Also worth checking out is the version of Beulah Land she does on Avalon Blues, the Mississippi John Hurt tribute album. | |
| Help to repair CAT JL1 monoamp? Perhaps the factory is just closed for the holiday weekend? | |
| Any one heard of Audio Matsere? I beleive it's Audio Matiere. It's a French company and I think it might have morphed into another company but I'm not sure. Others may know. Good luck! | |

| plinius pre with ayre amps? I'd say go fot it. Ayre amps are pretty easy to find used here, and you occasionally see Plinius M16's. Give it a shot and report back. If you don't like it you can always sell the used components for what you paid and move on. That's one of the b... | |
| Point to Point Wiring Some are, my Air Tight pre and power amps are both point to point wired. | |
| 5 best underrated or unknown bands and why? Asylum Street Spankers--they are fabulous! | |
| Best acoustic -natural instruments CD's I second David Grisman's Acoustic Disc label. Many fabulous recordings with equally fabulous sound. | |
| Any fellow 'Heads out there? Mmdecapo,I think it is an absolute travesty and a bald faced attempt to grab more $$ that they have changed their name to the "Dead". For that reason I will never go see them. I find it deeply offensive and know many that feel the same way. | |
| We all want to change the world. Really? As a favorite band of mine used to say, "One way or another, this darkness got to give". Keep the faith brother, I think all things are cyclical, including global politics. |
