| Replacing Thiel 2.2's, Need Monitor Suggestions Don't judge them AT ALL until they are on proper supports. | |
| Zappa Plays Zappa I heard them here in Tampa recently. Very impressive. I never heard FZ himself live, but am a huge fan of his music. Dweezil et al are doing a great honor to that music, and deserve credit and respect. Definitely worth going. But he is not FZ, who... | |
| Find the weak link to help me spend $800 or so Hey thanks for all the replies!Room conditioning is of course a great idea, except that I am likely to be in that room for only a year and a half or so. Plus I kind of favor low budget room conditioning. I don't regard room conditioning as a tweak... | |
| Allman Bros concert Never heard 'em with Betts, let alone with Duane. Heard lots of records, however, and many are terrific, especially Fillmore, which I think is as good a live album as has ever been done. And I will even admit that Derek Trucks's got an annoying ha... | |
| Most sophisticated and intelligent musician Zappa is unsurpassed. | |
| $500-$1000 to spend on a used CD player Hey Buconero!You keep mentioning that Sony refurb, but it's been out of stock for what seems like ages. Any chance you know anything about how frequently they become available? | |

| Top 5 Hamburgers hey MHedges:You DEFY anyone? I mean, it would be stupid and excessive, I agree, and one would wish one hadn't, but I can't imagine its actually being much of a challenge for a person with will and appetite. I mean, it is a big portion, but glutton... | |
| Best Song Intro Ever so many. Here's one: "Whipping Post", Allman Brothers. | |
| Best Integrated w/ Phono-In under $350 Get something vintage, from when vinyl was king (mid-late 70s), and have it recapped and tuned up by a reputable and competent tech. Yamaha CR-x20 line or receivers, perhaps. Those will come with a good analog tuner as well. Or maybe a Sansui, or ... | |
| Name your lame duck artist........ Thomas-- Madonna has talent for publicity, making $, and tapping in to and shaping teen sensibility (or did anyway). | |
| Name your lame duck artist........ Dankmobius: everything you said is right (which means I agree), except about Barber. Give her another shot. You didn't get sufficient exposure to hear the twists, edge, depth, intelligence and cleverness that are simply absent from the others. | |
| Name your lame duck artist........ Thomastrouble: see my last. Madonna does have talent, but not musical talent. I referred to PB and Leonard Cohen. Hmmm, my lame duck? There are so many. Obviously there's lots of stuff that sucks outright, so that only a musical ignorant or tin ea... |
