| Parasound Halo a23 The one time I heard it I thought it sounded too punchy, which overemphasized the low end. I was both surprised and disappointed with that amp. Perhaps there was a bad match with either the preamp or the speakers that it was hooked up to. | |

| Favorite cover? "Bumpin' on Sunset" - Brian Auger's Oblivion Express | |
| Favorite cover? +1 for elliotbnewcombjr's pick of "Famous Blue Raincoat" by Jennifer Warnes.I don't think Jennifer or that album got enough credit for reviving interest in Leonard Cohen's music. While there are a lot of great Leonard Cohen covers out there, my tw... | |

| Favorite cover? To me, Lou Reed falls into a category with Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and Tom Waits in that some of the best versions of their songs end up being done by other artists. Some of my favorite Lou Reed / Velvet Underground covers are:EVAN DANDO & KI... | |

| Great musicians who should have been famous except.... My nomination for an underappreciated non-drummer is Greg Leisz, the extraordinary lap steel & pedal steel player. | |
| Great musicians who should have been famous except.... +1 for Hal Blaine, Jim Keltner, Steve Gadd and Vinnie Colaiuta.The drummer that I find really fascinating is Brian Blade (probably best known for his work with Emmylou Harris and Daniel Lanois). This guy is all over the drum kit; but, he does so i... | |
| The best looking speakers Just like you know a good speaker when you hear one, you'll recognize a good looking speaker when you see it. The trick is achieving both simultaneously, while staying within your budget. Best of luck in your search. | |
