| What does it take to be a die hard Beatles fan? Nothing from the Hard Days Night era? IMO, some of the best Lennon stuff ever. | |
| What I really hate about some music So-called dead air songs -- usually progressive rock where keyboards dominate -- or soft bells, drums and low harmonies that can add up to 3 to 4 minutes to an a song. | |
| Cassette decks. How good can it get? Didn't Pioneer come out with a direct drive (gear) deck that was supposed to eliminate tape hiss? | |
| CD player How about a Marantz SA-10 coupled with a Chord Qutest. Anyone try that? | |

| My Apologies to Miller Carbon MC...are you getting a Raven Blackhawk amp or a Reflection? | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? Their Nighthawk (20 wpc) is driving my Revel 328 speakers (sensitivity 91dB) and a sub. Sounds great. | |
| The best $99 system upgrade ever! Could human earwax work like deoxit? | |

The Reflection MK3 should be ready sometime next month. The chassis were delayed because of shipping problems. I think it w... | |
