| New reissue of Exile on Main Street I think some may be confusing Country with Alternative Country here.While Exile certainly has more blues influence than Uncle Tupelo's 90's stuff, there is still some of that rock band paying country swag. We could probably come up with a bunch of... | |
| New reissue of Exile on Main Street I don't think the fact that they are "pretty darn English" has much to do with Americana. There are plenty of Americana/alt country bands from all over the world in the Indie scene today. I think it would be pretty hard to trace the genre back to ... | |
| Running Springs Audio I have had 4 RSA conditioners in my system along with a stack of others and the only one I can live with happily is the Acoustic Revive RTP Ultimate. No sins and a completely organic, natural sound. It sounds very different from any other PC. If I... | |
| New reissue of Exile on Main Street My mistake Hooper, I thought I remembered that but guess i am thinking of another title. Always good to have knowledgeable folks here to check our heads! | |
| New reissue of Exile on Main Street I love it. This is by far the best version I have heard (I do not have vinyl). I have had the SACD and hated it, too bright. Narcotic ears certainly a bonus Bfury but no Pacific Coast here...just Ohio rain...One of my favorite Stones albums and ro... | |
| Best lines in a song "Oh my God...."Sufjan StevensJohn Wayne Gacy, Jr.Come on Feel the IllinoiseIt's as much how he sings it...There are about 50 other lines from his songs I could list but this certainly warrants first mention. | |
| Three best audiophile CD/LP in your collection Yes, the K2 version is better than the SACD to my ears although it's subjective (as is the quality of the music...see above!)... | |
| Three best audiophile CD/LP in your collection Just looked real quick and looks like Amazon has the K2 Fim version for $80. | |
| Three best audiophile CD/LP in your collection Alpass...I have no idea, sorry I cannot be of more help. It has been sometime since I have looked for it. I am pretty sure it's still available and a quick search may show some of the online vendors that carry it. Pricey thing if I remember right ... | |
| Best Guitar CD Recording Mentioned several times already for good reason...Flamenco Passion - Gino D'Auri XRCD.Joaquin Rodrigo - Conciertos a 3 disc set on Phillips. Latin influenced classical with amazing technical execution, outstanding recording as well. | |
| Three best audiophile CD/LP in your collection I forgot to mention...the best recording I have and really have ever heard is Arne Domnerus "Jazz at the Pawnshop". I own 2 versions, DCC Gold and XRCD and prefer the XRCD version. Something every audiophile should hear at some point, pretty crazy... | |
| Finding a Power Cord that sounds great I have been through way too many to list in nearly all $ ranges. All do different things, some better than others, but most also bring some negative to the table. The 2 cables that gave the most gain with no negative consequences, to my ears of co... | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. Laurie Anderson | |
| Three best audiophile CD/LP in your collection I have quite a few but of late it's Sonny Rollins "Way Out West (1957)" XRCD24 with "Saxophone Colossus (1956)" a close second. High on the list is Gene Ammons "Boss Tenor (1960)" XRCD. This is really ironic because these albums are damn near 60 y... | |
| External hard drives and sound quality The issue here is the whole idea that something may in fact be happening to alter the sound that you do not understand. It is just not possible, no matter how extensive your expertise, for you to know all that could alter sound. I apologize if thi... |
