Revel Salon2 vs Wilson Sasha
Ian having read the comments so far, maybe it was a bad suggestion. I guess I was thinking of what I would look at in the range vs the Sasha which would be those along with Focal, Rockport and I've already expressed to you my growing obsession wit... 
Best CD I've heard so far 2011.........
Hbarrel....I'm sure many of the forum members here feel the same way about James Blake (not Jeff...Jeff Blake was a QB from ECU who went on to be an NFL bust although showed potential here and there....!). Dubstep, UK Garage, Grime... whatever it ... 
Paul Simon: So Beautiful or So What
Marty....Thanks for the kind words my friend, as well as your gentle approach! Certainly no need but appreciated none the less.Funny you offer these comments as I was just listening to the album again... on as I type. I really want to like this be... 
Best CD I've heard so far 2011.........
And another that is headed for my album of the year list....Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi "Rome"Rather than try to explain this myself, this is the description from Amazon. Amazing piece of music unlike anything I've heard and also a way cool r... 
Paul Simon: So Beautiful or So What
I guess i'll be the first in this thread to say I don't get this album at all. It sounds like a step back and actually quite boring. There is not a single song on here that I can say grabs me or touches me in any way and frankly, I'm pretty disapp... 
Best CD I've heard so far 2011.........
In have an add, one I find truly special. The Antlers "Burst Apart"This is not "Hospice" nor will anything ever be like it but it does have the layers of swirling, rich and difficult intensity. With lyrics like "...Prove to me/that I'm not gonna d... 
Removing power conditioner...
Ahhh, yes. A troubling subject for most of us...what when where and how of power products! As you know from our chat, I use Acoustic Revive RTP Ultimate's. They lay somewhere in between a power strip and conditioner. Basically, it is a solid alumi...

Best CD I've heard so far 2011.........
Yea Marco, I think you will really like that one but of all the nonsense I spew on this forum, I cannot recommend the new Mountain Goats, All Eternals Deck, highly enough. Especially knowing you....this is one I would say rush out and buy it tonig... 
Best CD I've heard so far 2011.........
Dgarretson....Maybe so but it is really a record that encompasses all of what is special about him...stripped down and poetic, reminiscent of his finest stuff like 1997's Smog "Red Apple Falls" or 2005 "A River Ain't Too Much To Love"...all with m... 
Best CD I've heard so far 2011.........
Yes....yet another great 2011 release...Bill Callahan "Apocalypse"So far this has been a great year for music. 
Sophomore Slump? The best 2nd albums of all time
Sufjan Stevens "...Michigan"Although "Enjoy Your Rabbit" is chronologically his 2nd, it's more an experimental piece than anything and Greetings from the Great State of Michigan seems more his sophomore record. A masterpiece in every way and one o... 
Best CD I've heard so far 2011.........
Another 2011 gem to add!The Mountain Goats "All Eternals Deck" Brilliant!!!!!

It depends what type of music. Many artists offer flac downloads on their websites or link you to sites like Bandcamp that manage sales for them. More and more are giving the option for lossless formats. The sites listed in the previous post are g...
