Cry me a river
Louie Armstrong-What a Wonderful WorldRay Charles-That Luckey Old SunDon't know why, but in a dark room with a good glass of Johnny Black. They get me almost every time. 
RIP Ray Charles
I heard about the passing this afternoon on NPR. We have lost another great one. The first thing I did when I got home today was to sit in the sweet spot and listen to "Let's Go Get Stoned". Has to be one of my favorite songs by him. He will be mi... 
what to use to angle a center channel speaker down
Lovan makes a small stand called a "center director". It is used to angle a center channel up. But I am using one backwards to angle a speaker down. Seems to work well for me. Only down side is no angle adjustment. But it does adjust to accomodate... 
Review: Pioneer DV-563A Universal Disc Player CD Player
Great review. I have been considering picking one up. For the price, how can you go wrong. I have seen these units on the open box table at the local Circuit Shity for $99. Hell the cables to hook it up would cost more than the unit. Might be wort... 
I could use some jazz mentoring.
Check out some Roy Hargrove. Two I can recommend are. "Parker's Mood", Hargrove with Christian McBride and Stephen Scott. Great cd. And "Roy Hargrove with Strings".

this should open the floodgates: BEST home theater
Runco...enough said. 
under $300 bookshelfs: does excitement exist?
I heard a set of Epos speakers at a show that blew me away for there size and price. 
Just how good is the Vandersteen 5A?
I got to hear Richard's personal pair at the show in SF a few months ago. I didn't get to spend too much time with them, but I thought they sounded great. He was playing Norah Jones on vinyl. I may be a bit biased since I have owned a pair of 1B's... 
Best "on wall" speakers
Give a listen to some Vandersteen VSM-1's. 
what are you listening to lately?
New John Mayer, Michael Penn, Jack Johnson, White Stripes, Roy Hargrove, John Coltrane. 
Good Jazz/Vocal Reference CD Recommendations?
You should check out Jane Monhiet. Amazing voice. Easy on the eyes as well.
