| Old tapes reveal how BAD FM became so true gumbygdammit...you reminded me of how much I miss the spontaneity of music on the the FM album oriented stations of the 60's & 70's. Hell even tv was free back then as long as you didn't mind getting up to change the 13 or so channels ... | |
| Cary SLI-80 Thoughts? go w/the Cary like dan says...i've owned or tried in my system the arc vsi55, rogue cronus magnum, mac 6900 & a couple others that escape my memory at the moment & the sli80 is vastly superior. enjoy! | |
| How Do You Pronounce Thiel? have you noticed around here 'base' & 'bass' is pronounced the same? think i'll go smoke some freebass now | |
| Where stands the music of Chet Baker with you? great, one of my fav trumpet players. If you like Chet & you havn't heard Chet Baker Trio, Chet's Choice (1985) w/Phillip Catherine on guitar you're in for a treat. I just discovered it & it's been one of my recent favs. | |

| "Hidden Gems"' two that I just discovered & both incredible IMO...Chet Baker Trio, Chet's ChoiceKenny Burrell featuring Stanley Turrentine, Bluesy Burrell | |
| Getting started w/ tube equipment lots of good advice here. Something to consider is the inevitable retubing of a tube amp or preamp. I'll add that you want to find an amp that doesn't run the tubes excessively hard so you keep your retubing expenses reasonable if economics are im... | |
