| Moving from CD Player to MAC Book Pro Music Server It's not the cheapest solution, but I have a Drobo for back up and it let's me sleep at night. After having many a back-up external drive fail, I settled on the Drobo, and it blows away the RAID array it replaced as far as ease of use. Oh yeah, an... | |
| Buy new TV now or wait for 3D technology? I have put 4 of those Samsung TV's in friends houses, and they are stellar, never seen any of the 'Halo' effect we heard of. We actually paid to have the setting done by a pro on one of them, and it was worth the $300 he charged. They have come so... | |
| To mod or not to mod, dac is the question The Civic/Ferrari analogy is not a great one, unless you are starting out with very inferior gear. Say a no name DVD player. Let's get closer to your Oppo-Mod with a car analogy.Any Ferrari is a great car, but just as a car, it's not 400% better i... | |
| Rolling Stone top 100 Guitarists - Howe/Van Halen My true Stevie Ray Vaughn story.My first visit to Austin, TX was in 1983. A huge group of us were walking down 6th street about 6pm which is really early to be out on a Saturday night, it was a typical beautiful November (or late October) night an... | |
| Rolling Stone top 100 Guitarists - Howe/Van Halen Chashmal, I am 100% with you, but I didn't have the stones to say it first. I can't think of any Cream/Clapton songs where the guitar gives me a charge. Nothing like say Stevie Ray Vaughn playing "Pride and Joy", Tony Immomi playing "Paranoid", Ji... | |

| Rolling Stone top 100 Guitarists - Howe/Van Halen Classical1,I love the Rolling Stones, one of my personal favorites, and I have seen them live many times. Richards is a great guitarist, and a great songwriter. EVH is not in the same league as a songwriter. That said, this is not a list of songwr... | |
| Rolling Stone top 100 Guitarists - Howe/Van Halen I would appreciate opinions from some guitarists out there. Come on, on this site with half of the systems and gear for sale in California, Tennessee and New York, I am guessing there are many, many musicians on these forum. I sure some we have ac... | |

| Warm-up I never have heard this before, but it actually makes a lot of sense. Excellent point. | |
| High power amp reccomendations, airy highs a must I just noticed you have listed your speakers, I would second the McIntosh recommendation above with those speakers, and the rest of your gear. You will get a ton of SLAM from that combo. | |
| Most beneficial change . If I had a small room the only speakers I would use would be Quads, they are amazing in a small space where you don't need to generate huge SPL's. | |
| Most beneficial change . in that room, very cool btw, I would start with new speakers. How about some Quad's? ESL 57's(rebuilds or the new German made models), or 989's. Then build your system around them Perfect space for them. Add a small sub (Velodyne DD10 or Rel B3) a... |
