Best female vocals on CD
Re: "open" - the Cowboy Junkies new self-produced item - I take BACK my recommendation - it is their poorest to date, with only one acceptably good song. I believe that they may have lost their way!Edie Brickell is goo, but EDIE READER is fantasti... 
How much are you worth ?
Bankrobbing risky? Not in Canada. In fact, it is quite popular here...sadly lost a teller locally...but it seems that the robbers never GET IT. We need to fix that. 
Sony 777es ok to leave on?
Ms. Lopez is anything BUT slight. 
Speaker Fetish
Always buy new speakers. NEVER sell any. 
Cheap Canadians
There WAS a day when the $Can was at a 10cent premium OVER the $US...late '60's...but our bloated Fed's ruined that. My quote: "There are enough levels of government in Canada to serve 100 million people...problem is, we only have 32 million!"And ... 
Talon Khorus Speakers
Did any of you gentlemen (or women) have the opportunity to contrast the Khorus' with the Kharma Ceramique 1.0? These are in the same bracket price and construction wise. Another newcomer is the latest from Eli Gershman...the Opera Suavage...which... 
Power Cord Review
Gutwire Cords, made in Canada, and they come with a "ground clip". Superb construction and they do help. I believe that the returns from Power Cords in general are small, but important, and just using anyone of those listed is the major factor. Be... 
Sony 777es ok to leave on?

What is your OTHER passion?
J_thunders...thundering on as usual, I suppose...Yes, I did peek frequently @ the "Les Quatre-Vingt" over the weekend. The brightness of the nightlights coming over the hill was dazzling! I did think that one of the team managers in an interview s... 
John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense"
If one were to ask Roger Penske if he uses COATHANGER to connect his HONDAs to his REYNARDS he would laugh and shoo you out the door! Yes, Helio and and Gil must have accuracy, immediacy, precision, reliability, FEEL, and THRUST with their cables.... 
Priorities, who makes the rules anyway?
J_thunders, did you listen to the "stereo"? 
best cd's to impress your friends with..
Tanita Tikaram's "Lovers in the City"...great production quality coupled with wonderful songs sung in a unique style. 
Most annoying Stereo magazine claim
The Stereophile "Class" rating are INVALID. They delete credible equipment based on the "not recently auditioned" or "too long since we have listened to this entry" What a crock! I suggest that my early '60's Scott LK150 power amp should be listed... 
Priorities, who makes the rules anyway?
j_thunders, read the thread "how much are you worth?"...it's all about "normal" 
How much are you worth ?
"VALUE" is the keyword, cornfedboy, and that is entirely subject to our personal means (well, I oftentimes have felt that I MUST rob the closest bank to obtain that latest piece) and is proportional to our individual choices and priorities. Severa...
