Best debut album
Nobody's mentioned Eddie Moneys self titled first album. The one with Two Tickets to Paradise and Baby Hold On. The entire album was worth listening, and we played the heck out of it. Not up there with Bostons debut, but noteworthy  
What do you think causes the crackle and clicks we hear?
After 36 years, and now retirement making breakfast cereal. Rice Crispys as a matter of fact. We ran that stuff seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Keep buying them, you will be helping my union pension ... LOL

Soundsmith - Thank you to everyone.

My Demo results: I feel like I'm at a frustrating block in my speaker journey
Wow, you are REALLY picky. Be glad your not into sports cars, or you would be very broke !  
First impressions.What multi-channel disc is your favorite
mahler123No, but someone else on here might be. I'm mainly a soft rocker or blues enthusiast. Its hard to find multi track disc that are recorded well.  I don't care about the performances or the song selection as much as  how its recorded/mixed. ... 
Has anyone heard the Lexicon MC-10 processor and can they describe its characteristics.
Well we will find out together . I just ordered one. I am replacing a Marantz 8805 that is currently in service. Initially , I just wanted to try Dirac as I keep hearing how much better it is. I did some research and every person I talked to said ...
