| Favorite poorly-recorded albums Inner Mounting Flame, Raw Power, Exile on Main Street. All terrific music, but audio quality is the worst. | |
| An interesting Digital vs. Analog experience I've often wondered when vinyl is preferred over digital on the same system if the reason is because it was not built for digital. If a person builds and refines a system strictly for digital, then adds a TT of comparable value to their digital pl... | |
| Are there any albums you consider perfect? Nine Horses (a David Sylvian project), "Snow Borne Sorrow". Perfect for what it is. Very well recorded. Perfect in its music and flow. And I really dig the music. (Warning: trippy, not rocking.)http://www.amazon.com/Snow-Borne-Sorrow-Nine-Horses/d... | |
| New to the game. Need some beginners advice. RMAF is a good place to start, or some other audio show nearer to Waryan. Many big cities have audio societies. I'd also put out a feeler on all of the forums, asking if s/he could stop by to have a listen - IME people love to show off their syste... | |
| New to the game. Need some beginners advice. Spend lots of time listening to different speaker types (sealed box, ported box, open baffle, horns, electrostats, combinations, single driver, two ways, three ways, etc.) and decide which type of sound you prefer. Drive around, fly around, do wha... | |
| Procul H's My CD version of Salty Dog from Repertoire Records sounds terrific on my system, but I have no other version with which to compare. | |
| How Long Ago Since You Cried Listening To Music? The other evening listening to The Guess Who "Live at the Paramount" (which by the way, newest remastered CD from "Master Tapes" is awesome sound and music). Just poured a large, cool bottle of Allagash Curieux ($12) into a beautiful Triple someth... | |
| Acoustic Treatment on rear wall Matchstikman - Yes, one or two GIK 244s may work well for you as do for me. Good luck! | |
| Subwoofer cables My pair of ACI Titans work well with cables from http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/subwoofer/index.htm. Well made and reasonably priced. | |
| Acoustic Treatment on rear wall I have a wall behind me like you. I have used a couple of GIK 244 bass trap panels (2'x4'x4") on the wall directly behind my head to eliminate the bass null caused by the wall. Works very well. If you are near Atlanta you can borrow mine to try. | |
| Russian 6C33C Tube Testing and Matching baaaaaa! Wrong answer. 6C33C take special tester. Doubt you'll find any radio, TV, guitar shop with one. There is a person on this forum who sells them, tested, for $60 a piece IIRC (just do a search in classified section). Perhaps he might be abl... | |

| Art Blakey experts please ... ? If you like Art with Lee Morgan and Wayne Shorter I'd also suggest "Paris Jam Session" and "Like Someone in Love", the latter has Bobby Timmons on piano. Great stuff! | |
| Top 10 Jazz recordings ever Sbank - Don't be "shocked". I've listened to jazz for 40 years and never heard "Plays King Oliver". But thanks to you I checked it out - fabulous! Thank you for the recommendation! | |
| David Honeyboy Edwards RIP Sad. Saw him perform several years back. Spoke with him for too brief a few minutes. Read his book, "The World Don't Owe Me Nothing" for a good perspective of history and blues from a man who lived a long and interesting life. |
