| High WAF, simple, integrated amplifier NAD makes a CD/receiver in a small footprint format w/ a front panel USB port. I think they can be had new for $400. | |
| Underestimating the influence of studio monitors? No piece of studio equipment is perfect. Skilled engineers understand the flaws of the equipment they are using and compensate. It's a translation process. Engineers and producers also make assumptions about how the music will be heard. If they th... | |
| Are Harbeths really "all that?" I can only comment on the original Monitor 40. In a properly sized room it is a very neutral and realistic sounding loudspeaker. It has a midrange to die for. It doesn't do anything wrong, but in any single area of performance you can readily find... | |

| The Entire Band Gets Writing Credit Tubes108, thanks for the correction about the Rolling Stones. I thought, mistakenly, that Jagger/Richards had a monopoly on Stones credits. | |

| DAC with the best midrange ever..... You really haven't given enough info. Tell us specifically what you didn't like about the Benchmark, what you liked about the Sony (which filter?), etc. Not providing any system info also doesn't help. | |

| Overshadowed by bandmates U2 and Radiohead are major bands that I think are exceptions to bands requiring a stellar rhythm section. They are solid, but no better. You could also put Pink Floyd into that group.Charlie Watts is tremendous. Don't underestimate the man. | |
| Overshadowed by bandmates Great post!Completely agree with Mick Taylor when he was a Rolling Stones. Have you noticed that in interviews KR belittles Taylor?Dave Mason was the overshadowed bandmate in Traffic. He was their George Harrison.In the original Fleetwood Mac Dann... | |
| In the Air tonight DRUMS - phil collins on LP The piece states they used a Roland drum machine up until the climax section. A second drum part was added at the behest of Ahmet Ertegun. It's unclear whether it's Collins or another drummer. So I read it that there were three separate drum parts. | |
| In the Air tonight DRUMS - phil collins on LP A Wiki link about how they got the drum sound for that recording. It appears that there were two drummers and a drum machine. | |
| Movies that featured High End equipment In the 1949 "Letter To Three Wives" the Kirk Douglas character has a custom built tube console. He specifically comments on how good it sounds. At a dinner party he cautions a guest not to touch it, but she still manages to break one of his long p... | |
