The Smiths. The Stone Roses. James.
All The Smiths albums are great. Meat Is Murder is a good one. I am a big Morrissey fan. Check out "Bona Drag". About 14 months ago I took my ex to see Morrissey at the Tabernacle here in Atlanta. Warm up guy on acoustic guitar was done. Place wa...

Aerial Acoustics 7B and Best Amplifier Pairing
Well.Are you going to use them for movie watching or listening to music? What are other components do you have or plan to have in this setup? I had a pair set up to listen to music. Drove them with Threshold T200 amp (Nelson Pass design solid stat... 
Threshold T2 versus Wadia 850 as Preamp
I can't comment on your exact set-up. However I did have a Wadia 6 cd player mated with Threshold T200 and Aerial 7B speakers. Incredible detail. Sounded great for a while. But over time it sounded harsh on the highs. I would describe the sound as... 
Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
Brian Setzer can really rip it up. And I second Johnny Marr! I think seeing the guitarist perform can influence who you might choose as your favorite. Jeff 
HELP Question about shipping internationally.
OK. Sounds like taxes have to be paid on receiving end. I thought that was the case but wasn't sure if I had to figure it out in advance and pay it on my end before the item would be allowed in the destination country. The "declared value" is the ... 
Which used tubed pre-amp & turntable for convert?
I'd like to thank you all for the responses. Rsfphil & Sean both mentioned what was originally my upgrade path. The system as it stands is just too revealing. I was planning to replace the Wadia 6 with a more musical cd player. It is the oldes... 
Recommend me a good psychologist
Boy can I ever relate. I've scrimped and saved to aquire my first hi-end system piece by piece over the last year and a half. The addition of each piece has brought improvement but I still feel it could/should sound better for all that I've spent ... 
Not happy yet
Ehart. In addressing the bass, I think Sean is right on about experimenting with speaker height/isolation. I'm not familiar with your speakers but you said your speakers are floor standers. The tweeters in you speakers should be very near ear leve... 
The best CD Player for the money
I agree with Yeast107. New is not necessarily better. I don't have near his first hand experience with cd players but would like to contribute this. I use a Wadia 6. This cd player is 8 years old. Built like a tank. Teac VRDS transport, 20bit, 32 ... 
John Hartford
Hearing this makes me so very sad. Growing up with him on television as a child. Listening to him colaborate with his idols as I have grown older. Such a unique individual. I will surely miss his story telling. Kelly, thank you so much for sharing... 
Experience with Aerial models 6 or 7b
Hello there No money.I've owned 7Bs for about 7 or 8 months now. My listening room is smaller (14'x11') and I'm running them on the low end of the recommended wattage, a little over 100 watts from a Threshold t200. But they sound great man! I list... 
REM remastered?
Thanks for the info guys. I plan to contact to owner of store where I bought the 1999 remaster version of Document to ask if he knows if they did or plan to do any more. If I find good news I will definately post it. Be seeing you, Jeff 
Coping in an Age of Uncertainty
Hello all. Put together my first hi-end rig over the last year with the help of Audiogon. I went with an older Wadia 6, 19 bit, got it for $1400, same chassis as the 850 & 860. Can be upgraded to 850 status by Wadia. But running direct with my...
