Like female vocals - Check out Cold Specks
I love Neko Case's song Hold on,hold on but I just haven't been able to warm up to the rest of her stuff. I love the line in that song:"I left the party at three a.m. (alone thank god)...." 
Blocking the propaganda
Outsider looking in here. Sorry if it is not my place to comment on such weighty matters but this seems to be a topic that generates a lot of navel gazing among serious audiophiles. There always seems to be some level of fetishism that seems perfe...

How about Susan Tedeschi? New to me. Maybe well known to you guys. 
Another basic newbie question.
I'm not sure I have the ears for it. I like it. I appreciate it. I can hear differences in cheap vs better systems. But I'm not sure I'll ever get to the level of sensitivity _and_ recognition I hear described among audiophiles. Not sure I'll ever... 
So what’s the future look like
As a very new and almost accidental audiophile, I would think that one of the biggest issues with pretty much any young people these days is the cost of what is considered even decent hifi. For those really into the hobby and flush with cash, it i... 
the guess who vs the rock and roll hall of fame
I agree with those who don't care about the RRHOF. Nothing wrong with discussing who is the best and all that but the RRHOF seems like kind of a joke.....like many other halls-of-fame.I heard that Bob Seger got in years ago due to a concerted lobb... 
What is being said at the 1:59 mark of this song?
Is the nature of the artist such that it matters what he is saying?Not intending to be snarky but I can remember interviews with artists such as Michael Stipe, Robert Plant and Van Morrison when asked about certain lyrics, even ones that seemed to... 
Non-audiophile needs help with older system.
"You mentioned that you’re using balanced cables from the LS16 to your amp, so if you decide to get a subwoofer connect it with RCA cables from the RCA outputs labeled "Main 1"."That makes sense. Thank you."It appears, though, that your main issue...

Thank you. But remember I’m new to all this.The Proceed amp has posts for spade terminals, a + /-, on left and right.The subwoofer, I’m assuming, would have a single +/- input. So what you’re saying is that I’d run a speaker cable from the left or... 
Another basic newbie question.
Thank you. I was mostly just curious. I've got two decent CD players and don't think I would bother spending more on a new one with balanced output at this point.I'll be getting some decent RCA cable though.

Another question: If I decided that I wanted a subwoofer (I doubt that I will), where would the output for that be? The Proceed amp has only two (R&L) speaker connections.

Just bought an open box Art Pro Audio DJPREII phono preamp for $35.

Thanks mcreyn. My wife has given me the nod so I'll bring the system home in a couple of weeks.Just want to say thanks to everyone for all the help. I spend time on a number of technical type websites. Some of them are not so friendly especially w...

I'm afraid I may getting the audio bug. Just after I typed my last response I noticed that the love seat in our TV room at home is pretty ratty looking and if I threw it out there would be room for the system in there. It probably isn't ideal. It ...

My wife likes about half of the music I like. I have a much broader range of tastes. When we're at the cabin I have music on around the clock. She will tolerate just about anything I play but she just prefers the volume to be at what I call conver...
