| Need Expert Help for a Gift Are you confident he'll like an iPod? I don't mean to sound smug or put a damper on your plans, but I (me, not saying your husband) would not accept one if it were given to me for free. In fact, I won a nice one a while back and sold it to buy som... | |
| A great new for me Coltrane find - "Jazz"? Philjolet - Yes! | |
| Which James Bond Theme Recording RevOrganDrum, "James Bond Theme". These guys, Jim Heath (guitar; better known as Reverend Horton Heat), Tim Alexander (Hammond organ) and Todd Soesbe (drums) put out a lot of fun, roots music and would be a gas to see live. | |

But for the sake of all kinds of music over all I ended up toeing them to cross about 2-3 feet behind my he... | |
| Andra II speaker tilt/effective tweeter height Der - Interested to hear your findings. I have Fontaines (top 3/4 of Andras) and do notice a difference when I stand. When I set mine up I levelled the small top surface. I figured that was what I was supposed to do. Mine are about 11' away. For m... | |
| Do you spend more on audio than your income allows Never, but it is a battle. Overall my system cost me close to half for what it retails by: buying demos/used equipment; doing extensive research in selecting components which punch above their weight, such as Mapletree Audio 2A SE Linestage Preamp... | |
