| Martin Scorsese. The Blues. I am sorry to spoil the party but I think that the Martin Scorsese series was one of the poorest description of Blues music ever. It did have its moments, but Scorsese focused on new and upcoming artists who were more R&B. Hardly any mention o... | |
| Blues "must have, top 100" list? Some of my favorite blues are swamp blues. Originally on the excello label, their reissues are easy to find and are perhaps some of the best mono recordings around. This is due to recording genius Jay miller. Also, look at the flyright label. The ... | |

The one Adcom preamp that was rated very good by Stereophile went for $750.00,( forgot the model # ) not leaving much room for an amp. the answer lies in an intergraded amp. Depend... | |
| Early 80's - late 70's best audio products Most open reel to reel tape decks. They were built like a tank, and lasted 4 ever, well almost. After 28 years + I had to replace the soleniod switch and with complete overhaul cost me $ 2.50 approx. money well spent. | |
| Dire Straits and Eagles XRCD worth $37? I guess someone has to say it. Just can't bring me anywhere. Instead of paying $18.95 for anything, just go to a dollar bin at a record shop and pick up the vinyl.Sorry Guys. | |
