Best Live Shows 2006 ?
I'm just back from Bonnaroo, and I nominate Radiohead, with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers as a close second. They really surprised me, as I had never really given them much attention, but Petty's show was scorching, especially the brief set of s... 
2 subwoofer???
How does one go about hooking up two subwoofers?Any companies known for the quality of their amplifiers? Two subs can't go lower than each's ratings, though, can they? I know the 10" Hsu goes to 25 Hz and the 12" goes to 20. Does the qualitative d...

Phono preamps

different strengths for different cables?

Your favorite J.S. Bach
I really love Milstein's Sonatas and Partitas for solo violinI also like The Art of Fugue by the Emerson Quartet. Even though I'm an aggressive atheist, it sounds like what angels would sound like if there were angels! 
Best "album" of 2006
Comfort of Strangers is less electronic and a little more laid back than CR; I love them both. CofS is a b it of a departure. I heard her interviewed on some NPR station, and she played a lot of it on just an acoustic guitar.
