| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? i was gonna offer "spirit in the sky", but notice it was released in 1969 (though still charted in 1970). "venus" and "vehicle" (ides of march) would fit the bill; likwise "hocus pocus" (focus) and "be thankful for what you got" (great tune). | |

| help me choosing first HiFi if i was starting all over again, with your budget, instead of the mountain of big boxes i've accumulated i'd opt for a relatively compact integrated/dac solution like a peachtree nova--haven't heard your cambridge minx, although it looks good on ... | |
| Your Help with Media Player the oppo looks like very viable, but overkill for me since i don't need its bluray/streaming functions. someone suggested offline something like the western digital wd live media player, which i could connect to my tv and avr, plug in a hard drive... | |
| Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s ghost, i've previoulsy debated whether layla is overrated, but ultimately always came out on the side that says it's not. there is a bunch of filler--key to the highway and have you ever loved a woman are the sort of lethargic dross i think you're... | |

| Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s slightly off topic, but i though i'd weigh in on bd's and ghost's missives. procol harum had certain prog-y elements (technical virtuosity, obscure lyrics, ambitious song structures), but at core were a pop band--their best stuff was very accessib... | |

| Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s andy fraser on free's "fire and water" lp was a bass player's wet dream--he played more lead than anything else. the songs were great, too.a guiltier pleasure was chris squire on yes's "fragile;" yes was very uncool but i still listened to this re... | |
| Best Option In A Silver CD/SACD Player $1k Or Less you can find marantz sa, denon 5910, sony scd and integra rdv in silver for less than a grand, though i'd prbably go with the oppo myself | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4 zoon, enjoy the vs--i recall them having quite a low end wallop. i believe they're very placement-sensitive, and you'll likely get enhanced bass performance by re-positioning/moving towards wall, etc. | |
