| Perfect Pop Songs Check out Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians cover of "Walk On the Wild Side." It's very faithful to the original. If you don't melt when she sings "Holly came from Miami, FLA....," you might want to check for a pulse."Fool If You Think It's Ov... | |
| Perfect Pop Songs @slaw How on earth did it take over 60 posts before someone (you) remembered to include California Dreaming? "Just Dropped In" was also an excellent choice! | |

| Perfect Pop Songs Under the "popular" banner, I'll add:"The Look of Love" - ABC. A brilliant synthesis of new wave, Motown and Bacharach styled orchestral ballad. The Bowie & Ferry styled crooning is the icing on the cake."Walk On By" - DIONNE WARWICK. Speaking... | |

| 2021 audio system wish list I am tempted to upgrade my amplifier. The problem is the current amp that I am obsessed with rarely shows up on the used markets, and it tends to sell very quickly when it does. It is no fun being patient when the itch to upgrade strikes. | |
| Speaker suggestions under 4k I'm surprised no one has mentioned some of the usual suspects, such as: Golden Ear, Monitor Audio, PSB and Revel. I know it's hard to be patient when the upgrade itch bites; but, I suggest you demo as many speakers as you can before deciding. If I... | |
