Favorite R&B recordings.........
Had that when it first came out, try Nick Colionne's new one "Just Come On In" it's a real gas, or if you can find it: Birds Of A Feather "Stand Together" with Dan Siegel & Allen Hinds. 1996 release 
Digital as good or better than YOUR analog?
My keyboard doesn't write music like Bryan's !

New Metronome Kalista CD Transport
Hi-Fi+ is really nice, and they seem to have pretty much unbiased reviews, a refreshing plus. It also has a VERY extensive music review section, a classy mag to say the least. The looks alone of that Kalista blow me away, I'd love to see it close ...

Right-on Stereomaniac, Cal Alpha, Steve's da man. 
Zanden DAC owners

Shunyata Hydra

Leslie & Corky - Need I saw any more????
So that's where you went, to the "Mountain" huh ??How cool, these guys got time & experience under their belts. You're right, not much, if any of the "new stuff" can match the "vintage groups of yester-year". Guess that sorta gives away our a... 
Zaikesman's Username Pronunciation Field Guide
Well, not exactly hard to pronounce or a prescription drug but derived from me getting the wild idea of putting a V-8 engine under the hood of my 91 Mazda RX7, and then wouldn't you know, Mazda later comes out with an RX8 !! Not like mine though, ...
