| Best Classical to "broaden" listening arena? Check out: www.brightcecilia.comI believe St. Cecilia was the patron saint of music. This is a site dedicated to classical music. Not religious in any way, I think the title is from "Hail Bright Cecilia" by Handel or Purcell or some such. | |
| The Piano - Herbie Hancock Always liked the Blue Note stuff before the funk, fusion, electric stuff. I'll check this one out. | |
| Are the Crimson cables as good as they say I have a pair of 1m balanced Crimson ICs in my system that were purchased here on the 'gon. They are reasonably priced new and a bargain used.IMO: they are an excellent cable and well worth the money; but, as always, YMMV.Definitely worth a try th... | |

| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Been driving 4X4 Toyota Tacomas for 20 years, also Toyota Landcruiser FJ40. Wanted a new Tacoma but the gas mileage is terrible (both 4cyl and V6) so just bought a 2012 Subaru Outback, mileage not great but better. | |
| Berkeley Alpha Dac Series II, anyone heard it? Don't think there are many of these around yet. May have to give it a month or two before you get responses. | |
| "Hidden Gems"' I loved the "tink" sound when my stone hit the screen in the funnel they gave me. I checked out the stone under a magnifying glass, all jagged edges and points like a crystal which it was (uric acid and calcium). Talk about a "Hidden Gem", if it w... | |
