Is vinyl dead ?
Are you really saying that music is written today with meaningful lyrics? Wow, most of the music out today...you can't even understand the lyrics, much less determine if they are meaningful...in any case, I think vinyl will always be around at som... 
I need a female jazz vocalist. No Krall, No Norah
You should check out Dave's True Story. They have a few cds out now. The singer, Kelly, is brilliant. She has one of those super sexy, perfect jazz voices and the lyrics are very modern.http://www.davestruestory.com/She and the songwriter (Dave) s... 
How did you get into this hobby?
Much like Esoxhntr, I've listened to music since a very young age, the Beatles being the first (actually the Monkees...cause they were on tv, but I wouldn't want to admit it). Starting collecting records...back when Catcus records was around selli...

Do You Remember Your First Music Purchase?

Any Info on RS Audio Cables Interconnects?
Thanks for the words Lkdog. As far as the power cord. I am not sure I'm qualified to make a great judgement. I simply was replacing a stock cord. In terms of the comparison to the stock...the RS Audio is amazing. The most obvious difference is the... 
Any Info on RS Audio Cables Interconnects?
So Lkdog...how are the RS Audio cables doing? Mine are starting to mellow out and be well-defined. At first I was a bit skeptical about the interconnects having changed over from a Sonic Horizon less expensive pair, but much more burned-in. The po... 
What should well placed speakers sound like?
Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, I can only position the speakers in so many places. I can't pull them out much from the wall, maybe a few feet, and can barely move them away from a side wall (at least one of the speakers)...again due to... 
Any Info on RS Audio Cables Interconnects?
Just bought their Mark II interconnects and Kevlar powercord. Great stuff...excellent company (they even check to make sure you are the person that ordered online). Been looking for a great interconnect and this is it...a real beauty, crisp, clean... 
Best Sax Jazz
Eric Dolphy playing with Coltrane on any number of albums are by far the best you can find. The most searing notes, heated discussions on the horn and real passion of a man. Dolphy pushed Coltrane and vica versa to the peak of creativity. Brillian...
