| Mike Smith of the DC5 r.i.p. One of my favorite British Invasion groups, too bad about Mike. Used to buy most of my albums in the mid to late sixties from the EJ Korvette on Route 1 in Edison, NJ, as well as from Two Guys from Harrison store in Middletown on Rt. 35. Boy, thos... | |
| Vibrapods under Bright Star for VPI Scout I've found that Vibrapods suck the life out of the music if used beneath turntables and cd players, while working quite well beneath amps and preamps.--Mrmitch | |
| Amp for Vandy 3A? Have heard the 3A Sigs at a dealer with both Rogue M-150 amps and also with Belles 350A Reference. Both amps sounded great, and I have a Belles 350A in my system (Unity Audio Signature speakers), so i can vouch for the Belles. Which you prefer may... | |

| Non classical piano based music recommendaiton Check out anything by Diana Krall. Mostly known for her vocal abilities, her piano skills arent far behind. Chuck Leavell on any of Sea Level's albums. McCoy Tyner on any of his albums.-Mrmitch | |

| Rush fans on the board ?? Definitely Moving Pictures and Power Windows-Mrmitch | |
| Rush in 5.1 surround Have to agree with Shadome on this. I've f ound since Moving Pictures that not only their recordings but their live concerts have had numerous problems with overcompression and different levels of loudness even within the same concert performance.... | |
| Mercury Living Presence I have The Nutcracker on original vinyl and its very good. Also have seven others on vinyl and they are equally good, but i prefer the overall sound of RCA's Shaded Dogs and White Dogs, even though the Mercury's sound a tad more dynamic to my ears... | |
| worse entertainer or performer of all time?? Have to agree with Priz. And what was the reason Genesis went with Phil for their singer after Gabriel left? Because his voice sounded uncannily close to Gabriel's, which you can hear on very early Genesis where Collins sings harmony with Gabriel> |
