| Best Upgrade? In this order, I agree with Mihalis that the room and equiptment placement would make the most noticeable difference. Secound the power conditioner along with good power cords. They don't have to cost a million bucks, but maybe a couple of hundred... | |
| Are you/or do you want involvement in a audio club I don't think anybody has mentioned the big apple. Well in good ol' Brooklyn we have the Gotham Audio Society.

| feedback on a new system please If you favor clean sound and not concerned about a deep rich bass, why dont you pair those monitors with tubes ? Tubes will sound great in a room that size and there are some great intergrated tube amps out there. To really stimulate you some are ... | |

| Best live album you've ever heard? Hi Boa2 Another live CD that puts magic in a dull digital world is Richard Thompsons' two letter words live 1994. The engineer gets the vocals right along with a beautiful acoustic guitar. I have the Neil Young Unplugged and that also is fine, BUT... | |
| Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever Annie Haslam of Renninance | |
| Best live album you've ever heard? A second for Alice In Chains I agree 100% with Boa2 this CD has an incrediable real presence in your system. If you forget about the two dimensionality this recording surpasses some good vinyl recordings. | |
| What will be better? I use a thick oriental rug and not only did it control resonances, it looks wonderful. You are forgetting room tuning devices. Echo Busters makes some wonderful products that are a must starting with corner tunes. With properly placed wall panels ... | |
