Classical Music: A How-To Guide for Beginners
thank you so much Rtn1!!! i just cued up the Rite of Spring album you suggested in my LALA.com account. You get one free full listen to decide if you would like to purchase their mp3's. The orignial files are in WAVE format so they sound very good... 
Taylor Swift
Well if you guys saw her on the Grammy's and still think she sounds good then it must be time for an ear cleaning.....lol. I was on my Facebook account just after and i couldn't believe the responses posted by people watching and listening saying ... 
Very sad news - George Wright has died
Howard this has actually brought tears to my eyes hearing this news. Just now (and after all of this time for some reason) I clicked on your profile to see what you have been up to and stumbled upon this sad news. I have been very satisfied with m... 
Jethro Tull questions...
Yes, i have about 6 Fairport Convention remasters that i picked up last year along with some Richard Thompson and Sandy Denny.Lieg and Lief is a fantastic Fairport album to start with in my opinion if you have never heard them before. 
Jethro Tull questions...
This band has been through so many phases that it is hard to pick. But i must agree that i have an affinity for the earliest 5 albums. I own every Tull album available. I have found something to really enjoy on every one and then some.Regarding Ma... 
Jolida JD100 Missing Bass
Radiohead's albums are not bright sounding at all to my ears. I think quite the opposite actually. Tons of nice bass on radiohead albums and i'm a bass player who enjoys to hear the bass when i listen to music. 
Jolida JD-100 vs. Ayre CX-7E
If you decide the Jolida route let me know as i have a JD-100 with Level 1 mods from Underwood Hi Fi(great credentials) that i have been wanting to sell but haven't gotten around to it. It probably is improper for me to list a price here as to not... 
2 channels Tube amp in a HT setup
Brad, i do exactly what you do as well and for the exact same reasons. That's funny! I run Wright SET 3.5 mono's in the Fall,Winter and Spring and a Red Wine Audio Sig 30 in the Summer. However,I like the sound of the RWA so much that i am tempted... 
Best Big Sub? or duals?
I use a Bag End Infrasub 18. Very nice reviews. Wish i had room for two so i could have one next to each speaker. Excellent IMHO. Don't know if this is out of your price range but i saw a very nice one used a week or so ago for around $900. A very... 
2 channels Tube amp in a HT setup
Heck i even listen to regular TV with my all tube SET system with Sophia 300B tubes. What me worry? ; 0Guess i should since i ain't a richin but that's the way it goes in my home.With movies it wouldn't even be a hesitation! Enjoy! 
like to buy a dac?
Blindjim, you opened up a can of worms in my mind with your last post,but a good can if it is going to keep me from purchasing the wrong DAC down the road. I am currently using a PCI soundcard(Echo Layla 24, with outboard break out box and DAC run... 
Foobar 2000 or MediaMonkey v.3?
I'm using JRiver Media Jukebox 12 and it is a far cry better in sonics then WMP9 that i was previously using. I am using the WAVE and not the Direct sound and that also improved the sound in my system. I agree witht he previous posts about gaining... 
studio equipment that makes it into home hifi
My Bag End TA15's! I have used them for recording and they double as my bands PA system on the weekends. Great speakers and they are VERY good in the near field. They are also designed for long throw when needed. Combine them with a sweet SET amp ... 
My First USB DAC Sounds Dull, Please Help
I almost purchased the DAC in question (paradisea+) and did very much research on it. I have read several threads on different sites and there are many happy campers using this DAC. In fact i haven't read anything negative anywhere about it. This ... 
Which way to go to built a music server??
It is my understanding that USB cables going from an external hardrive(where i have my WAV files stored) into my PC do not make a difference. I am using a pretty high end sound card with a break out box that has a built in DAC. Is this a correct a...
