your favorite violin or fiddle cuts, and why?
Ric Sanders Group in Lincoln Cathedral. You will be hearing about this artist very soon!! The group's repertoire is drawn from the work of composers including Chick Corea, George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Joe Zawinul, Miles Davis, Stephane Grappel... 
Best one box CDP, Got it short listed to Four
Sonics aside, the Accuphase has the best build quality of any of the players on your list. I have owned Accuphase players exclusively for seven years now (65, 75, 75V) and have never experienced a problem with any of them. I say this because owner... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
OK I'm interested. I simply have a mental problem buying gear that I cannot audition. So are there any owners of the Cortese (or its linestage equivalent) in the New England area (preferably southeastern as I live in Rhode Island)? To date I have ... 
Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why?
Dave Pegg- Fairport Convention and Jethro Tull. 
Fairport Convention fans - help
I will be at the Fairport shows on June 2 at the Blackthorne Tavern (South Easton, MA) and June 8 at the Blackstone River Theater (Cumberland, RI). I encourage all southeastern New England Audiogoners to attend- drinks are on me at the Blackthorne!!

Frankly I'm always a bit dismayed when fans are constantly engaged in debate about which version of Fairport is better, or choosing to ignore anything the band did in the 32+ years since Richard Thompson left. I'd urge all who have a passing inter...

For those of you who are fans of early Fairport, I'd encourage you to seek out the live peformances from the band's annual Cropredy Festival. There are multi-disc sets available for the bands 25th (1992), 30th (1997) and 35th (2002) reunions. Thes...

What one has to understand is that many different bands have played under the name of Fairport Convention. There have been 23 studio albums released under the Fairport name plus many live and compilation releases. Yes there certainly is a thread o...

Check out the fan website (Expletive Delighted) and click on discography. Here you will find exhaustive research on all album releases in all their respective national versions. JRD's comments are right on. 
A Lamm amp with Avalon Eidolons?
I ran my Eidolons w/ the Accuphase A-50V amp. Of course this is a class A design with considerable current capability (although that spec is not available) given its wattage (50 wpc). I find the Avalon designs are so transparent that they are enjo... 
Speakers you regret selling
Acoustic Energy AE2 Signature. BTW, sold Extrema's to buy them. 
Accuphase A-50v + Accuphse DP-75v : CABLES?????
What loudspeakers are you using? I own the same components although I am using Nordost Quatrofil in between. I have not done much experimentation in power chords. I have a CPCC Model 11 pc on the DP-75V and stock on the A-50V. I am not certain tha... 
Ayre V-1x or Accuphase A-50v for Eidolon Avalons?
I drive my Eidolon Diamonds with an A-50V (and previously owned Eidolons). When I last checked Cornfedboy was using a Rowland Model 8. Anyway, I use a single A-50V on the Diamonds as the room is quite small by mid-sized speaker standards. Previous... 
Philips DVD 963 SA....your thoughts??
Your Sammy also has DCDi video processing so don't be swayed by that feature on the Philips- you are paying for redundancy. 
what's the best "mini monior" these days
All stand mounted speakers are not minimonitors; Extremas and Wilson Cubs are great speakers but hardly qualify as mini-monitors. Think box sizes around ProAc Response 1SC.
