| Who's your guitar daddy now? For a treat - check out "Performing This Week: Live at Ronnie Scott's" in Blu-ray format. You will start to appreciate the capabilities of that format along with Beck's prodigious and continually evolving guitar prowess. | |
| Who's your guitar daddy now? Whoa Wwwrecords,Great dynamic range and feel for the music - shreads like Buckethead or Al D. but also seems to understand how much can be said with one note - like Brian May or David Gilmour. Clearly he understands composition given that he also ... | |
| Integrated Amp Jumpers Darkkeys:Here is my experience with changing jumpers on an AMC solid state integrated in order of preference:1. home made jumpers with silver braided wires with very thin clear insulation (think Crystal Cable) and gold plated RCA plugs - very clea... | |
| Can someone give me some insight. I was going to say what you describe sounds like "new" cable syndrome, but that is often also accompanied by tight, anemic or somewhat compressed bass performance. Even if used, cables can regress to a "semi-cold" state if they have not been "play... | |

| Naim Supernait vs XS vs Exposure 2010s Naim Nait XS is a simply wonderful amp - and will go very well with the Gibbons. I do not believe it gives much if anything up to the Supernait, and in fact, getting the DAC out of the box may actually provide a slightly "cleaner" sound in the XS.... | |
