Maestro vs. Furutech GTX-D Gold AC Outlets
I've just ordered two Maestro outlets. These will replace two Porter Ports, they replaced two FIM 20 amp outlets. It's been quite a while since I put in the PP outlets, but I can say the sonic benefit was substantial. One major concern I've had wi... 
"NEWEST'" Favorite album
In the same type music as Tift, here is one that is even less well known that deserves more attention. Pieta Brown "One And All". 
"NEWEST'" Favorite album
Nglazer: I don't know if she's the most underappreciated or not, but probably under-marketed to the main stream.I saw her last night in Raleigh on her last show of the tour. It was filmed by UNC-TV for later broadcast. The rain was coming down all... 
Songs With Best Ending
Sweet "Love is Like Oxygen", of course the ending to me is where the song just gets interesting. In other words, it ends way too soon. 
Best Rock Album in 2013
Robyn Hitchcock "Love From London", keeps getting better with every play. 
Album which you have listened to most?
Shawn Colvin "Steady On"Simon @ Garfunkle "Bookends" 
Best Rock Album in 2013
"Regions of Light", side one = very good, side two not so good. I hate it when you get two completely different efforts on one lp! 
Music Sung with Passion
I just received the MOFI 45rpm "Freewheelin'". "Simple Twist of Fate" to me, was the stand out track. My point being, get this copy and you'll find that Dylan himself sung it with the most passion! 
JJ Cale dies...
I wish I could express, appropriately, what his passing signifies. I can only say that his music and influence will be timeless. So many others have taken credit for his works. I, will know every time I play one of his (lps), that he will continue... 
Looking for a new band?
Really sorry I made an effort! 
VPI owners.......
Bpoletti: You are of coarse assumming that you can blindly place the platter at the same exact spot each time. That is impossible. Also, your way implies that the manufacturing process of each individual piece IE: platter/ plinth / bearing surface... 
guitar solos where less is more
Hendrix from Rainbow Bridge "Pali Gap" 
Cables more hype than value?
It solely depends on where you're at in your "system evolution" and how much passion you have for going to the "next level". The "next level" may be of no consequence to 99% but to you, it can be everything! Listen to no one. Judge for yourself! 
Gruv Glide - Do you use it?
Jebsmith73: IMOP it has to do with the closest possible 'needle to groove' tracking, as possible. Of course this is all up to the listener. I'd ask myself, "Why do I feel I need (a needle to groove enhancer) after I've cleaned my vinyl? My persona... 
Listening chair suggestions
You have to ask yourself, Do I want to be comfortable every time (I) listen or sacrifice some sonics for the best possible sound. Trade-offs suck!
