| What does Maybe try another outlet or even better yet another outlet on a different circuit. Any flourescent or dimmable lighting on the suspect circuit? Maybe a bad ballast somewhere?? | |
| Best Acoustic Guitar Players Of All Time? Maybe not best of all time but how about:Merle Travis. | |
| "new country" music recomendations please Some people call what your describing is "Alt Country".You would probably like Emmylou Harris. Three to start out with would be:"All The Road Running" New collaboration w Mark Knopfler. This is an outstanding new release... The proverbial trifecta... | |

| Your top 3 comedians John BelushiPhil HartmanJack BlackThese guys aren't really stand up comedians... just guys who make me laugh every time I see them. I would have to put Richard Prior and Johnny Carson on the list of most beloved. | |

| Favorite CD player around $2k or less used I have a TRL modded Sony 595 that cost me $650 that I really like. You should check out their latest and greatest which I think goes for around $2000 and has a seperate power supply. Do a search on Audiogon for numerous threads on TRL stuff. | |
| Help First Audiophile system I'll put another vote in for a used NAD. I would also reccommend a cheap, used, tube, dac. I found a california audio labs sigma one on ebay for $150. The addition of this tube dac was a significant improvement when using my computer as a source. | |
| Speakers for metal, hard rock ... also SS amp I reccomend a used pair of the original Eggleston Andra's for around $6- 7,000. Depending on the sound your looking for, get a Krell FPB-300 (used $3500) or Mac 402 (used $4,000). The Krell will really rock out but may be a little unforgiving with... | |
