| options for highly compressed CDs? Tubes (EL34) + room treatment (if too lively or have any slap echo, and at least treat first reflection points) + Cardas Cross/ Golden Cross cables + baffle edge anti-diffraction device (as sold by Jim Goulding) + CD treatment (such as Le Art du S... | |
| Jimi Hendrix- Valley's of Neptune I think the music is good to great (though I could live without "Sunshine"), Jimi's playing is superb, tracks are pretty loose and unpolished, especially some of his vocals, but this does not really detract from its quality IMO, and the sonics are... | |
| Which artists' music do you buy without audition Ever since I could sample on line, nobody. Not even my favorite artists, regardless of reviews. If I cannot sample it, I don't buy it. | |
| More female vocals Cecilia Bartoli: "Maria"; "The Impatient Lover: Italian Songs"Tierney Sutton: "Blue in Green"; "Desire"Kelly Flint, but only during her stint with Dave's True Story: "Sex Without Bodies"; "Nature" | |
| The many musical faces of Mr. Miles Davis? I enjoy many of Miles' musical faces fairly equally, up to Bitches Brew. Though if I was forced to pick a favorite album it would have to be Kind of Blue.A brilliant and talented artist. Not just his playing, but the whole package: playing, sensib... | |
| Interconnects for Bryston BCD-1 & B60R combo Correction: Best ICs I've heard in my system are Kimber KS 1011. Not just best copper ICs, though they are all copper. | |

| Any Good Howlin Wolf CDs My fav: "The Real Folk Blues" | |
| Anita O'Day? My favs are: "Sings the Most" (with Oscar Peterson Quartet); "Cool Heat"; and "Verve Jazz Masters 49". And "Jazz on a Summer's Day" is a fabulous DVD (except WAY too much Dixieland). | |
| Pangea power cords Wish I could take part in the Pangea feast, but the configuration of my amps require a 90 degree IEC (pointing downward), so I think I'm restricted to the sidelines. Frustrating. | |
| Interconnects for Bryston BCD-1 & B60R combo Best copper ICs I've ever heard were Kimber KS 1011. In my system I preferred them over Harmonic Tech Magic Link II (my experience with their sound mirrors yours) and Cardas Golden Cross (too far down the other end of the spectrum - way too tame, ... | |

| What is the best Beatle Song You dufusi are all wrong! The BEST Beatles' song is, "You Know My Name"! And if you had a decent rig and proper taste you'd agree with me. ;^} | |
| Paranoid on Tube Amp Install And might want to get you a long-handled broomstick to push the power button on. Wood, preferrably. | |
| When will rap music be less mainstream? I stopped listening to "main stream" music once I discovered Dave Dixon on WDET (Detroit) many years ago. He turned me on to such a diversity of good music - I am forever grateful. I so enjoyed his eclecticism and sharp wit - I miss him to this da... |
