Recommendation for best Joe Jackson records?
"Beat Crazy" is my favorite but his music is varied in styles. From swinging jazz to Movie soundtracks he's done it all. If you live near a record store that has used vinyl you will find alot of his stuff cheap and if your patient alot of it will ... 
Waltz for Debby-Bill Evans Trio
Give The Red Garland Trio a listen too. I would recommend the ones where he has a guest artist appear with him though before you go for the full trio sound. Manteca by them with Ray Barreto is one of my faves. 
Budget Preamps for Atmaspheres?
Because I own one and because i know it would fit your budget and it has balanced outputs for your amp and a Cd player read the reviews on the Nelson Pass mosfet design Adcom GTP 750. It's been a Stereophile Budget reference for quite a few years ... 
Any Tool fans out there.
I've given 10,000 Days a spin the last couple of days and it sounds like the other albums. Would love to see Tool get more ecletic,maybe do a ballad now or then,how about some blues i mean all the heavy metal Gods did this. Judas Priest,The Scorps... 
Living Voice Mystic Mat Experiences
They are still available at Music Direct for 299.00, 100.oo dollars less than I paid for mine. Yes it is system dependent but they will let you try it for 30 days so if your not happy return it. One thing though it is suggested not to use a clamp ... 
Compare Analogue Productions and Classic records
I have the ET-2 and it is one of the easier Tonearms to adjust VTA for. I adjust then mark the spot for quick future adjustments for 120,150 180 and 200 gram vinyl. One thing do not over tigten the screws or you can split the air bearing. Just tig... 
Oracle Delphi vs. ??? fill in the blank.
I own an oracle and I'm very happy with it. It throws a huge soundstage and with a recent upgrade to Cardas Golden reference interconnect it now has the bottom end I was craving. No it doesn't have the Linn bottom end but then most linns that I ha... 
Compare Analogue Productions and Classic records
Go on line to SUNDAZED records and check out some of their stuff. They sound very good for the money trust me. As it's been discussed on here before, be prepared to adjust the VTA on your turnarm to get the best possible sound from 180 or 200 gram... 
Best John Lee Hooker vinyl old and re-issue
That's a good question because he has had so many different stages in his career. The early stuff suffers unfortantly and pales in sound quality because the best recording equipment in that day was limited. Then in the early seventies, Rocknroll a... 
Are the Beatles the reason why modern music exists
Dylan introduced The Beatles to marijuana which led to everything from LSd to heroin. I think because of that you would have to say that Dylan influenced their sound more than any one person. Running tape backwards to create certain passages in th... 
Threshold of a Dream SACD
It's stereo SACD. search for Moody Blues thread here on Agon,it's been discussed in length. 
Don Ellis at Fillmore
I saw Don several times at The Pilgrimage in the late sixties at free concerts. I roadied for him about six months before his death. I remember the first time we were to meet him and the band at a college we drove all morning and when I saw a sign... 
Cardas Golden Ref vs Acoustic Zen Silver ref vs KS
I recently upgraded from Cardas Golden Cross to their Golden Reference from my Pre to my Amp and it is a little less warm sounding than the Golden Cross. I like these alot compared to the Golden Cross less warmth more detail but not fatuiging in t...

Yup,he started the Southern Rock genre when he created Capricorn Records. 
Best Neil Young Album?
That's hard but my favorite song is off of Landing on Water. It's "Hippie Dream" which Neil wrote about David Crosby telling him to get help.
