| Porqupine Tree Here's a quote from the liner notes in the "Lightbulb Sun" lp...."This special edition double vinyl lp is dedicated to the memory of our friend Michael Piper, who passed away in April 2008. In fact, it was meant to be the latest in a line of beaut... | |
| Porqupine Tree Roxy54: I, myself, am pretty cynical, but not so much that I'd dismiss by other's (words), a chance to discover a great band. | |

| Porqupine Tree Rlwainwright: I was just getting ready to tell Roxy54 that PT's music is similar to King Crimson. | |

| Porqupine Tree Jperry:Thanks for the correction. | |
| Do the Audio gods shine upon you? Yes, The audio Gods are shining on me. The great thing is it happens EVERY time I listen. Because of "anal" approach to tt set-up! | |
| Comparing Receptacles Davea33: I don't have quite the experience in outlets as you, but here is my final thought.I've owned FIM, Porter Ports, and now Maestro. The Maestros, while they don't have the "grip" I'd prefer and have experienced with the FIMs, the Maestros ar... | |
