| Integrated amp recommendations with A/B speaker I'm pretty sure that the Harman Kardon HK-990 has two zones. It's a very unusual design with extensive DSP options and a robust Matti Otala derived high output power amp section that should (I'd think, but double check anyway) be stable into diffi... | |
| Fleetwood Mac There are a number of recordings of Fleetwood Mac performing live in Boston - it's sort of a tradition going way back to the earliest days of the band. There's a CD set from 2004 called "Live In Boston" that features Peter Green and company. It wa... | |
| Fleetwood Mac Ghost,Thanx for the kind words and back atcha. Debating those with divergent opinions can be fun, but I always find it even more rewarding to discover a kindred spirit on the board. | |
| Fleetwood Mac Misternice,English Rose is a single disc compilation and highly recommended IMO. You'll get a good taste of Green's style and a couple of highlights from Jeremy Spencer (especially Evenin' Boogie, a fantastic slide guitar workout) and Danny Kirwan... | |
| Best live albums from 1970's college days Frampton Comes AliveLive Bullet (Bob Seeger)were the big ones that I recall from Ann Arbor 1975-1979 | |
| Fairpoint Convention DISCLAIMER ON POTENTIAL SPELLING ERRORS - it's been a while since I've visited this material, so spell correct for your own pleasure only.Along with Lindisfarne, Pentangle, and (a little later) Renaissance and Steeleye Span you had that whole folk... | |
| Pre Pro And Amplifier Instead Of Receiver I'm not sure that you could find separates that include Audyssey xt32 witin your budget. OTOH, a number of AVRs (including all the Onkyo variants mentioned above) include it. For me, that would probably be the dispositive factor. You needn't stick... | |
| Eels... Interesting take on the song. I can see why MOE chose it, even tho it's not necessarily the first pairing I would have though of between song and singer.BTW, anyone know who plays the lead on that? There's nothing useful on their website or Wikipe... | |
| Eels... Eels and Fleetwood Mac?Two of my top 5 favorite bands ever.Thanks for the heads up - I'll check it out straight away.My standard Eels tip: if you haven't heard MOE's solo albums (performed under the name "E"), you should give them a listen immedia... | |
| Why Merlins sound better then Sonus Faber These are two very different house sounds - particularly if you're talking older SF. Anyone who thinks that one brand has it right might well be inclined to believe that the other has it wrong. I own both brands and believe that different recordin... | |
| Top 3 Most Overrated Artists contest in R&R. Given Loomis' observation that (to paraphrase) - in order to be overrated, you've got to be highly rated - I found this. It's just one rating of rock bands, but a fun one that someone went to a fair bit of trouble to cook up. So, for your consider... | |
| Audiophile Active Speakers? If you're really looking to simplify, I say "Lose the DAC".Since you mention a DAC, I assume that your source is digital, so why not go digital all the way? High end pre-pros or digital preamps (ala DEQX) will take the digital signal straight out ... | |
| Great Saxophone Artists and Albums One problem with the question you (OP) have posed here is that the sax can go so many ways that it's safe to say that there are great sax recording that you'll love and great sax recordings that you'll hate. Given the Kenny G reference, I'll stick... | |
| Top 3 Most Overrated Artists contest in R&R. Czarivey,For the record, I wasn't being defensive when I pointed out that Keith Richards, Charlie, Watts and Ron Wood all display far more technical skill than their counterparts in The Velvet Underground, which you cited as a more skilled group o... | |
| Top 3 Most Overrated Artists contest in R&R. Chaz,Your point re: early Ron Wood vs late Ron Wood is noted, but I disagree. I think the guy has continued to improve throughout his career and his most recent solo recording (I Feel Like Playing) is my favorite. I do acknowledge that I am in the... |
