| What's your latest "Discovery" Bill Frisell's new one just released today, 8/9/05, "East West" a double live disc. The east set recorded at the Village Vanguard (more jazz oriented) & the west set (his usual mix of styles) at Yoshi's. Great material performed by his trios &... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" Neco Case, 'Blacklisted', alt-country/americana folkish singer I discovered on Austin City Limits & bought this excellent disc. | |
| New Van Morrison disc I buy them all because I find several songs on each of his new releases to really be great, imo. Of course it's not like the old days (& who could expect it to possibly be) where every song is a timeless classic. (moondance, street choir, st. ... | |
| Which amp/preamp will complement khorus speaker I used to have raven-c's & ran a Pass X250 which was quite nice however I think Talon recommends Sim, Edge & Belles, the high current types. Call Mike @ Talon he'll be most helpful. | |
| What is the test of time? I much preferred Willis Alan Ramsey singing that number. His self-titled album is a classic, really. now it's stuck in my head, thanks. | |

| Help me pick a tube amp for Thiel 2.4's I used to own the 2.4's & pondered the same thing & realized I couldn't afford the tube power the thiels required & deserved, then backed up & punted. good luck. | |
| Lucinda Williams Fans? If you like her, don't pass it up like I did for a few weeks. bought it today & it is excellent, both performance & sound quality, (imo, of course) | |
| Speaker Stands Filled With Kitty Litter? TRUE??? My local dealer recommends the used litter & sells the appropriate feed for optimal weight & density. | |
| Talon Raven C Speaker Cable recommendations please I used to run AZ Hologram II w/mine & was very happy w/the sound. supposedly hologram II was designed w/2 ways in mind. | |
| tubes or no tubes Definitely tubes w/those easy load speakers. I was in your shoes once & as someone (many) here said "you'll never look back". Damned if they weren't right. push, push (H. Mann) |
