| What do you NEVER want to hear again??? "Hail to the Chief", played as W enters a room.No surprise that a lover of college football marching band music doesn't see the point of guitar jams. They do seem unrelated to that all important march to the end zone. | |
| "I am there" vs. "They are here" I love it! It's Undoubtedly not going to stand up to critical evaliation, but it's vague and charming enough to catch on. Where is there, by the way, and how can we here them as being there unless we're there too, which we're not, since "I am ther... | |
| What are your most favorite violin concerti? Brahms, but I admit the Beethoven may be as fine a piece of music (the Bach double, also). Good though they are, the others are not in the same league. I like the Bartok, Prokofiev (2nd), Sibelius and Berg (love the Berg) at least as well as -- mo... | |
| best non guitar rock solo I hesitate to call it "rock", but the violin solo by Sugar Cane Harris on "Little House I Used to Live in", from Zappa's "Burnt Weeny Sandwich", is pretty awsome. | |
| Looking for an acoustic guitar recording.. Lots of good ideas above. But I don't see Norman Blake. "Whiskey for Breakfast" is especially good for focusing on guitar. | |
| Would you buy a subscription to Zappa ? I'm not sure I'd get the subscription. I too would prefer to know what the material is. That said, the idea is very intriguing. The fuss made above about hoping for new tracks doesn't move me. Lather was brilliant. And sure, another Dina Mo Hum we... | |
| DC, AC,, battery, asynchronous? Thanks Dougdeacon,I certainly wouldn't choose on motor type alone, or on anything technical aspect alone, or even set of them. Sound's what matters -- and build quality, so that sound and value last. But at the research stage, I like to understand... | |
| DC, AC,, battery, asynchronous? Um, just so the thread doesn't get derailed before it even pulls out of the station, I'm not looking for advice on what to buy, but for info and a discussion on costs/benefits of various sorts of power supplies for t'tables.RNM | |
| My first real hi-end audio system Please advise Keep the pre. You do not, I think, mention what stands you have for the Revel's, but good stands, well placed, are a must for these speakers. My experience has been that it is very difficult to integrate a sub into a system. You might want to cons... | |
| My first real hi-end audio system Please advise Hi,Sounds like you wanted confirmation, not advice. 5.1 is not for music lovers. And there's no turning a 10x14 room into a theater.Best of luck whatever. | |
| software plug Excellent, to my ears. Fabulous bass playing and reproduction, in particular. | |
| Marantz vs. Pioneer Receivers Well I don't have comparative experience, but I have a dinged up Marantz 2250, with burnt out bulbs and somewhat scratchy volume and balance pots. But damn the thing sounds great. Musical, powerful, dynamic, warm, tuneful. Really good FM -- decent... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Oops. That's "Hope you treat me kind" | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Well, lots of favorites. How about these?"My old man, he's like a feudal lordGot more lives than a catneser seen him quarrel with my mother evev oncethings come alive or they fall flat""It's not always easy kicking someone outGotta wait a while --... | |
| killer violin tracks. Jascha Heifitz, Vitali Chaconne, on an old RCA release, if I'm not mistaken. Michael Rabin had utterly amazing technique as well. His Paganini caprices are astounding. Also, Stephan Grapelli playing with Django on anything. And Sugar Cane Harris p... |
