fig dish, that's what love songs often do--replacement-ish chicago band that had a brief major label fling in the wake of smashing pumpkins. massive, crunchy guitar hooks, great dynamics and a lot of fun.arab strap, red thread--dour, poetic lyrics...

ghost--can't find the eric von essen on spotify--is it worth tracking down on cd? 
Need thoughts RE-Best Universal for my High end audio and TV, video etc.
+1 soix. personally, i like hard button remotes, which are much more intuitive for me, and the urc has the simplest interface. like soix i use a legacy urc remote (the wr-7) for a couple of my systems; even though i had to program a couple of comp...

Ghost: re:nels clineYou cant blame a guy for wanting to feed his family, but freakin wilco? His freejazz stuff is fantastic, albeit wholly uncommercial: where does art transcend commerce? Right now im listening to "coward" on really good headphones.

fm tuner
you can find the analog pioneers like the tx7100 or tx6800 or kenwood kt7300 very inexpensively on ebay (<$50)--aesthetic and good sounding. if you want a digital tuner, i'd look at parasound or marantz at the same range. fmtunerinfo is a very ... 
There goes Tidal?
from what i glean, apple is interested in the exclusive content, specifically the ability to sell digital downloads and video clips, which is where the real money is. theĀ  paid music subscription business, as i understand it, is a big money loser ... 
Adcom a weak link?
if you're asking as a general matter whether upgrading your amp will make a significant difference, i think mostĀ  would agree that it does. i never had the 7400, but i had the 5400 (which i believe is the same series and general architecture) as w...

nutty, glad you enjoyed it.dpatterson, i listened to the bob moses on spotify (also some of the "related artists" like the acid and kiasmos)--not sure what you call the genre?, but i like it--it's trippy without being soporific--will check out mor...

fountains of wayne, sky full of holes--i don't generally like this type of "clever pop," but these guys do it very well, with a real sense of the melodic hook. their guitar player is surprisingly great.tinted windows, nothing to me--sort of superg...
