What would you use
Twl, if you're looking for a challenge, try picking out the number (and of course type) of pianos used in any of those 60s Phil Spector masterpieces. Personally, I can't tell, but I read that he typically used 3 or 4 at a time. I think he also use... 
What would you use
Electric instruments can be very tricky. It may sound like a Wurlitzer electric piano, but one would be hard pressed to say whethers it's a real Wurlitzer or is it a Korg Trinity (or any other number of synthesizers) running a Wurlitzer patch? Sol...

Greatest American Rock and Role Bands of ALL Time
I forgot to mention the Neville Brothers. 
Greatest American Rock and Role Bands of ALL Time
I can't believe nobody's mentioned Los Lobos. The same goes for Booker T. & the MGs. Although not strictly rock 'n' roll, Muddy Water's late 50s band with Little Walter and Jimmy Rogers hasn't be duplicated. 
Class A/B switching cause sonic problems?
It appears that you're mixing up two different topics. Switching, sometimes called digital, power supplies (recent JRDG, Chord and others) is completely different from the class A/B switching controversy. Regardless, the general consensus is that ... 
Listening Through Walls at Show: Vodoo or Valid?
Listening to a loudspeaker in your listening room with your equipment is the primary way to evaluate the product. However, that being said, judging how the loudspeaker sounds like from another adjacent room (with the door open) is an accurate and ... 
What is vibration isolation for?
Unless we're talking about turntable playback, the sound output from your speakers are not a likely source of vibration induced distortion in a hifi system. (I'm assuming reasonable sound levels and the avoidance of narrow band resonance excitatio... 
Any one else have this complaint?
I believe the terminals are placed on the bottom so that the crossover components can be better isolated. If you can access a cut away view of the speaker you'll see why. As a practical matter, I can see why you think it's a pain. 
Alignment Protractors
The Wallytractor is custom cut for each tonearm. You use it to set the stylus to pivot point distance (overhang) which reduces tracking error. You also use it to align the stylus cantilever perpendicularly to the record grooves. I use it in conjun... 
Alignment Protractors
I switched from the DB to the Wallytractor. One of my best upgrades ever. It offers better alignment and tuning options. 
one or two Sub-woofers?
My advice is to go with the 2 Lunas. As pointed out by others, two subs are definitely better than one. The Luna is a high quality unit. It won't go as low nor will it go as loud as the Rhea, but in a moderate size room at reasonable volumes, thes... 
why are some cd's so bright sounding
Bigwave, why don't you contact the artists, recording engineers, producers and mastering engineers and ask them. They might surprise you and actually tell you how and why the records sounds exactly like they wanted them to sound. 
Reproduction of acoustic instruments with tube amp
It's always been my understanding that an amplifier is supposed to reproduce its input signal regardless of whether it was originally an acoustic instrument or not. Acoustic instruments are not inherently more complex than their electronic counter... 
Hardcore Tube preamp/amp user turn SS fan.........
Audiophiles seemingly pay alot of attention to this questions. I don't think most music lovers really care. Tim daParivinci (sp?), an acknowledged giant in equipment design (EAR, Luxman, Musical Fidelity, etc.) was once quoted in Audio magazine th...
