The Stones' Bigger Bang
Like minds! Wc65mustang Cheers! 
Biamping question
Grisslehamn, I do not make or sell these wires, I only us them in my system at home because they sound good to my ear, are very neutral, and because they happen to be much cheaper than wires I have found to not sound as good (ie. 299.00USD for the... 
Spend my $8,000 pt. 2
Mimberman, "Aesthtix Janus (tube--too warm?)" Not a chance. Aesthetix is some of the best sounding front end equipment I have ever heard. That is why I own a Rhea and Calypso. It has all the "tube sound" advantages and none of the detriments. It i... 
The Stones' Bigger Bang
Beyond the albums including Brian Jones and Mick Taylor IMHO the Stones are recycling an old format and have innovated little other than to cash in on tours with one of the last and greatest names of Rock n'roll royalty. When Mick (Taylor) became ... 
Biamping question
Only one caution I would add to the previous excellent remarks. IMHO, I would start out with two pair of alike and neutral sounding cables (like Isreal Blume's CST IC's) so that I could discern the sound of the amp/speaker biamp combo before I sta... 
Royal Oak, Michigan
Pvtfreedom, sound good. I reside in Pleasant Ridge and would be interested. Let's see what we can make of it. I like your "informal" suggestion. Cheers! 
Avalon Eidolon Diamond and Tenor Audio OTL
Excellent suggestions of the Lamm and Atma-Sphere. Enjoy! 
What constitutes an AUDIOPHILE recording
Ahhh! The dreaded "Audiophile" recording. Unfortunately, one that makes a Hifi system sound "great", regardless of content. Enjoy! 
Just got my Nak Dragon - Wow
I still have a functional Nakamichi ZX-7 with the belt drives and it indeed is an analog treat. For pure musical pleasure I would put it up against many of the CDP's of the day and I can record, obviously! Topoxforddoc it's cool to hear there is s...

does anybody still listen
I don't know... I've been listening to "classical" music since I was a child. I have an aunt that was a piano recitalist and great musical mentor and have enjoyed classical works immensely thoughout my life. And yet I can honestly say that every t... 
What do you have under your Black Diamomd Racing
I'm presently using the Source Shelf with four Sorbathane footers under my Linn Ikemi CDP and I like it. Decoupling appears to be the key. In contrast, I've ordered a Neuance platform for my Linn Sondek Lp12 from Ken Lyons. He remarked that it sho... 
glam rock fans?
Does everyone concerned know that Speakers Corner Records has re-released "Transformer"?! And it sounds as good as a brit first issue of the times. 
glam rock fans?
Sgore1 mentions Lou Reed's "Transformer" and I was thinking that I didn't mention the Velvet Underground, Opps! In my opinion probably the grandaddy of Art-Rock bands with great albums like the V/U & nico, White light/White heat, s/t and of co... 
glam rock fans?
I’m with Hooper’s assessment of Marc Bolan. One could argue if T.Rex- Electric Warrior wasn’t the genisus of Glam-Rock all by it self. Then on to Bowie with Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders from Mars and Aladdin Sane by the end of Diamond Dogs the...
