| First song to "Blow You Away"... "21st Century Schizoid Man" by King Crimson. 'Nuff said!OK, maybe not. Years later, "Sound Chaser" by YES from the LP "Relayer" changed my peception of what music could be and what musicians could do, and re-shaped my guitar playing. | |

| Home Depot Ext. Cord for Speaker Cable Tried it, liked it, it's reasonably neutral and clean. Eventually like any good audiouphile I tried other cables, finally purchased and kept the Audio Art speaker and IC cables which made a very nice and very noticable positive difference in my sy... | |

| Moody Blues "Question of bal." CD or SACD vs Vinyl One thing about "Question", the song, not the album - the only true original version is the original pressing LP. In post production, as I have heard it, the boys added some mellotron stabs and high vocals, and mixed them in on the fly. In all sub... | |
| Best Rock Drummers I'll listen to ANYTHING Bill Bruford plays. He is so original and outside the box that it's breathtaking. He is one of a few drummers that you can identify his playing inmediately - not many you can say that about! | |
| Are the Audio Physic Virgo II's ageing well? Oh, by all means listen away, I love that music too, and some others (YES, ZAPPA, DREAM THEATRE) that I listen to loudly. But at high concert volumes (not loud, or Loud, but LOUD!!!) these get a little hard sounding. Otherwise, for me they are the... | |

| When showing your system to others, what do you do What works for me is:* First I get their basic taste in music - Rock? Jazz? Classical? Female vocals? Monks moaning? * Then I play something in that genre, hopefully something/someone they've heard or heard of before, something that is recorded an... | |
| What's your system response on " Feels like home" I agree with Rotarius - these recordings are mostly free of the over-compressed, supercharged high end normally found on "pop" CDs. personally, I find these CDs (haven't heard the vinyl, as I understand they used the digital master to make the LP ... | |
