What`s your fave Audiophile Chill Out recording? Nine Horses, "Snow Borne Sorrow". A David Sylvian project. Trippy but interesting. | |
Robin Trower BOS is tops for me. Second is 20th Century Blues. Saw RT a few weeks back - incredible show, except for his singer (too wimpy for RT's powerful style of playing). | |
lambchop fans out there I also like Treasure Chest of the Enemy. Good, though Is a Woman is his best (IMO). | |

Which Nat King Cole? No strings in "Live at the Circle Room", but not a "high" quality reissue. | |
Which Nat King Cole? For best music I prefer "Live at the Circle Room", recorded 1946, though sound quality is not good. But the music is so good I can't help myself. I mean, with lyrics like, "Honey let bygones, be bygones; or I'll punch a hole in your nylons", what'... | |
Thiel 3.6 to Eggleston Andras II I've not made the move, nor do I have Andras, but next smaller size - Fontaines (exact same top three drivers, just no woofer). About them I can assure you they very capably reproduce truthful timbre with transparency like no other speaker I've he... | |
When is digital going to get the soul of music? My CD-based system got it. Each step was an improvement towards reproducing the soul of the music. Long, arduous journey, wading through lots of audio BS. For my system, it turned out to be tubes everywhere, even in the CDP. NOS tubes. And the mos... | |
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE After many auditions it's looking like my first good pair of speakers, EgglestonWorks Fontaines, are staying. Just cannot dethrone them. | |
