Dec 05, 2003	What's your favorite Patricia Barber album? The 2nd cut on Companion will not only rattle your walls but penetrate through your bone marrow! To listen to this track in its full glory a subwoofer is MANDATORY not an OPTION.
Dec 05, 2003	Album which you have listened to most? You Audiogoners never cease to amaze me! I was expecting maybe 10 responses and in all, 30 albums to hunt down, but, here I am confronted with 47 posts in only two days and probably more to come. Do you guys have any idea how many albums have been...
Dec 04, 2003	REL Strata III with Paradigm Studio 40 V.2 Well I will certainly keep that in mind when I come across Spicas and I must listen to them. I would very much appreciated if you can point to a review on the net of the spica you have that YOU think represents the speakers best. I want to read it...

Dec 04, 2003	What's your favorite Patricia Barber album? As everyone says, it is very difficult to suggest which one is best, I too have most of her recordings and plan on buy as and when they come out. I particularly like the album "Cafe Blue" very much since this was the first album I got after listen...
Dec 03, 2003	Best value speakers available I owned Maggies for six years but unfortunately I had to part with them due to smaller size room in the new abode. The room I have is not big enough for the Maggies to breath in. I switched to the Paradigms Studio 40 v.2 but actually derive more p...
Dec 03, 2003	REL Strata III with Paradigm Studio 40 V.2 "Cute little speakers" compared to the " big ugly speakers" and that too by your better half, I must believe what you are saying as it must be true.Recently I came across a review of the S35 which concluded that it was an excellent speaker. As you...
Dec 03, 2003	Hiss and Hum in a system newly put together Just received a message from my friend.Finally the problem was attributed to a defective valve (ECC 82)which was replaced. No hum or hiss being produced from the system anymore.I appreciate everyones input on this thread and their contributions.Th...
Dec 02, 2003	Ageless Music? Musicbuff,Very well put!We need to teach our children (or younger generation in our household) to appreciate good music somehow or the other. When my kids were growing up I introduced to them "Fantasia". In the last ten years I have changed three ...
Dec 01, 2003	Hiss and Hum in a system newly put together Briweve,That is good information, very much appreciated. Sometimes we are so oblivious of our surroundings that a simple trick like checking things you mentioned is overlooked. The checklist is getting bigger and bigger but that is what is require...
Dec 01, 2003	REL Strata III with Paradigm Studio 40 V.2 Do the S35 sound worse that your spica's when it comes to vocals? Very curious to know!
Dec 01, 2003	REL Strata III with Paradigm Studio 40 V.2 As per REL/Sumoko setup procedure the recommended placement as you already know is in the corner, but yes, they do acknowledge that if it does not suit you you can place the sub anywhere. In my case the sub is certainly not sounding boomy. They ma...
Dec 01, 2003	Any one got better results than with EAC? Paul,Thank you very much for that update, I will keep that in mind when I am again in the market for CD-R's but at the moment I have a good stock of Taiyo Yuden disks to last me a few months.If it is made in Taiwan it could be Raitek?Lately Plexto...
Dec 01, 2003	Hiss and Hum in a system newly put together Very good idea, I completely forgot toask him if he had any conditioner installed, if not he should buy one and install it anyway for the sake of protection from surges and spikes in addition to RFI and EMI sheilding.Thanks
Dec 01, 2003	REL Strata III with Paradigm Studio 40 V.2 I never received any responses to my post but I did get very good tips on other forums and thought I would update for the benefit of those who use the REL sub bass systems.I spent almost 6 hours listening to music and tweaking the system on Sunday...
