| What is your favorite Greg Brown CD? My favorite is a live CD called "In Harmony" that he did to benefit foster children. It has a few songs by Dave Carter/Tracy Grammar and Kate MacKenzie too. It isn't sold in stores, but is available at http://www.inharmony.org/media.htmlFYI, he ha... | |
| please chime in... When I started using a tube preamp, many of my CDs started to sound a lot better. Even those with mediocre fidelity. Not just smoother highs, but better intonation and representation of complex musical passages. Was less fatiguing too. IMHO, my sy... | |
| Check out Alison Moorer's The Duel I'd appreciate hearing any comments on her live CD/DVD too.Both the music and the fidelity.Thanks | |
| Where do I go from Eva Cassidy? I second Kate Wolf. Though recommend her 2 CD set "Weaver Of Visions: The Kate Wolf Anthology". Over 2 1/2 hours covering almost every song she recorded. Has much newer and bettering digital mastering than her earlier CDs.Another personal favorite... | |
| RIP Ray Charles One of the most influential of all American musicians. He crossed and melded musical boundaries with such ease and soul. A real genius. We'll miss you Ray.http://apnews.myway.com/article/20040610/D834BPC01.html | |

| What do you look like? Like a rammed geek dog. Any pictures we post should not be taken with digital cameras for fear of harshness. Anyone have a tube SET camera to give a sweeter presentation ? | |

| Philips 963SA normal characteristics? The capacitor upgrade is a single capacitor that is easy to change if you can solder and unsolder.Get a Blackgate VK 150uf/350V. I got mine from www.referenceaudiomods.com. Replace the only large cap on the power supply board. It's easy to find. M... | |
| Greatest rhythm sections Motown's internal house band, the Funk Brothers, deserve a major nod here. That would be Pistol Allen (drums) and James Jamerson (bass). | |
| sound of jitter I think what MakersMark is describing is the sound of jigger ;o)Judging by his moniker, I'd guess he's heard that sound before. | |
| Philips 963SA normal characteristics? Mine took quite a bit of time to break in. Maybe 100 hours.Sounded a whole lot better after upgrading one capacitor for about $30 not including labor.Mine has started to make a fluttering noise on some discs. Particularly discs that may be warped.... | |
| Some blues suggestions Guy Davis should be right up your alley. Also, Chris Smither, though he's not quite as bluesy.I heartily agree with the suggestions for Doug Macleod. His recordings on AudioQuest have great fidelity. If you're into searching the roots of this musi... |
