| Better than FIM Gold? I've no experience with NBS, but lived with Tara The One's,FIM Gold and Nordost Valhalla for extended periods each. As noted, the FIM is very musical and a great cable. The Valhalla was more transparent,more extended top to bottom, faster and had ... | |
| Any one else have this complaint? Hi Tim- I can commiserate with you. I was auditioning various SC's a while back while owning Eidolons and it was cumbersome to say the least. The interaction between pair of firehoses,er, FIM Gold SC's, the placement of binding posts on the Eidolo... | |
| Tom Waits I think TW is an acquired taste, like sushi. People seem to either love him or dismiss him as too peculiar. I love the guy, and along with the 2 new ones have been listening to the wonderfully remastered "Used Cars", a compilation of songs from th... | |

| All in the Family Sparks with Russel and Ron Mael( this town ain't big enough for the both of us),saw them at the Civic Theatre in Akron Oh in mid 70's. Didn't know Alex Harvey had a brother, saw the Sensational A Harvey Band in the 70's also. Was his bro in the ba... | |
| All in the Family Forgot Robin and Kevin Eubanks, both of whom I've seen. Robin with Dave Holland Quintet a few times. I guess if I've seen em more than twice, must be a favorite :-) Ah yes, Scott, Sun nights while growing up was Bonanza night, who could forget the... | |
