| What 'entrance' music? Isaac Hayes - Theme From Shaft | |
| What do you listen to when no one else can hear it The Latin Playboys. An experimental venture by Los Lobos members David Hidalgo and Louie Perez. Elements of Latin, Blues, Acid Rock, Jazz and Beat poetry. Not mainstream enough for most of my friends. There's a couple of cuts on the excellent 'Des... | |
| Eric Clapton at Crossroads Guitar Festival DVD Saw some of it on public TV. Great lineup of performers. Was hugely surprised by John Mayer - never figured him as such the axe man. | |
| Jazz Guitar Zaikesman - interesting commentary. I don't wish to challenge anything you say, however I find that some artists are capable of providing a sound much more embodied than typical. Although probably not considered mainstream or traditional 'jazz' gu... | |
| Foobar Convolver Plugin Perhaps a testament to the Adcom preamp but the CDP/Xitel/U24 appear to all have the same sonic delivery whether they are running though the preamp (bypassing tone controls) or directly to my M-120's. Had to give back the U24 today. My buddy is go... | |
| Could somebody please explain I always's thought Frank Zappa was 'eclectic'. Perhaps 'eclectic' it is just 'genius' in disguise... | |
| Song intros that really grab you? ? Also Sprach Zarathustra (Theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey) from the Deodato 'Prelude' album. | |
| Jazz Guitar Assuming a more traditional style, and perhaps some lesser known titles from the 'usual suspects': Wes Montgomery - 'Smokin' at the Half Note' and 'Far Wes' Lenny Breau - 'Cabin Fever' and 'The Last Sessions' Tal Farlow - 'The Swinging Guitar o... | |
| Foobar Convolver Plugin VdeakinI increased the levels for the Xitel/U24 within the Foobar software. Turns out, however, that the Adcom CDP has a set of variable output connectors - I could have made the level adjustment by bringing down the CDP with the remote to match t... | |
| Guitar Solos Paul Rodgers - Muddy Waters BluesThere's some exceptional performances by some serious shredmasters on this album. Check out Jeff Beck's work on 'Rollin' Stone', his sound totally sets the mood for the entire song. Also, David Gilmour on 'Standing... | |
| Foobar Convolver Plugin Gotta like snowdays in the great Northeast!OK, picked up the adapter plugs at RS. Stopped by my local PC boneyard and what do I find? A bloated, scotch-taped box containing a Xitel Pro HiFi-Link (and cables!) for $10. Excuse me while I finish laug... | |
| Foobar Convolver Plugin Vdeakin -I'll pickup some adapter plugs, 1/4" phone to RCA at the Shack today and try it out. Looks like this U24 is more of a musicians item. | |

| A "Unique" Voice... OK Marco, for me it's gotta be Lou Reed.....specifically 'Velvet Underground & Nico'. I bought it at a used record store because I remember seeing it in my friend's older brother's stack. Since he was "cool", I now was just as cool having it i... | |
| A "Unique" Voice... Alanis Morrisette has a distinct vocal style that seems to be emulated in part by many of the young angst female vocalists of late. It's like - I'm a woman, I can sing and I feel like kicking you in the nuts.Chris Rea has a very deep and smoky voi... |
