| Robert Cray like sound They came out of Rhode Island in the mid 70s, the original Roomful Of Blues with Duke Robillard out front on guitar. Not as soulful as Cray, they were more into a jazz/swing thing. I recommend their eponymous first album and it's follow-up, "Let's... | |
| Remastering my own cd's If I understand you correctly you want to have a little creative fun with your existing CD collection. The only cost effective way to go is a computer based setup. I would avoid the iMac, it doesn't allow for expansion cards which you'll need for ... | |
| Review: Aurios Media Isolation Bearings Pro Great review. I've been using the Pro model for about a year and I think it's a very effective product. I live in a wood frame house with wood flooring and my neighborhood is often disturbed by traffic, trains and airplaines that introduce a fair ... | |

| The best way to design an audio system. If you start with a large and diverse collection of "great" music, then within reason, whatever else follows is gravy. Which is not imply that people don't have very strong opinions about gravy. | |
| Has your system changed the music you listen to? From the above replies it seems that most people have answered yes to the original question. Is it possible that people are confusing the effects of their evolving systems with the fact that virtually everybody who loves music has different taste ... | |
| Who Shot the Deputy? Twl, your response makes me think that single ended triode, single driver horn guys really are different.I here Stone has lined up Vin Diesel for the lead and is talking to Gary Oldham for the sheriff. | |
| Has your system changed the music you listen to? Not really. Over the past 20 years my taste in music has expanded and evolved, but I don't think it's related to my audiophile tendencies. I would think that over time everybody's musical taste changes, but I would be suspicious if it's driven by ... | |
| Can someone recommend a few Joni Michell albums? For simplicity it's best to divide Mitchell's work into three relatively distinct periods: the folkie, the jazzy years and the Larry Klein years. Her vocal artistry is the constant element throughout. "Blue" is generally considered the peak of the... | |
| Babyproofing Stand-mounted speakers Small children and complex audio systems do not mix. Once a child attains a certain level of mobility, their natural inclination is to poke, grab at, slobber on, pull at, bite, etc. It's not a question of good/bad parenting. In most interactions b... | |

| Moving from Pass Labs Aleph 5 to Aleph 2 The mono Aleph 2s will perform slightly better than the stereo Aleph 5. The increase in power will be hard to discern, but you should notice better stereo separation and somewhat more clarity as the amplifier won't have to work as hard. On the neg... | |

| Compressed recordings? HiFi enemy 1? FYI, an interesting discussion by pro engineers about the how and whys of compressor use.http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=004255 | |
| Compressed recordings? HiFi enemy 1? A little compression is a good thing. It fills out the sound and gives it some weight. Too much compression sounds really bad. Flat, undynamic and generally uninteresting. Unfortunately, once compression has been applied to music its effect cannot... |
