| Great music but poor recording recommendations. John Barlycorn, Traffic. even the Reel to reel stinks to listen to. | |
| where do you bye your LPs The first weekend of Nov is the WFMU record fair. Plenty of stuff some fair prices.Usually held as 125W 18th St.(NYC of course) Fri, Sat & Sun. Go to WFMU.org for more info. | |
| Mississippi John Hurt If you want the good stuff, the Piedmont sessions from the late 50s' recordings on the Piedmont label of course. | |
| Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why? I would like to second Mejames' recommendiation of Stanley Clarke. True Fusion Jazz of the early 70's, check out School Days. | |
| The song you just cant stop playing??? Looking for my Rainbow... Canned Heat. | |
| Starting From Scratch - What would you do? Start with the sourse components & economize in everything else. | |
| The song you just cant stop playing??? Looking for my rainbow. Canned Heat from a new age. | |
| Best subwoofer? I am very happy with my Vandersteen SW2 sub. I am sure for more money you can get a better sub but not perhaps better value. Also what is important is how the sub intergrates with the main speakers. Having the best rated won't always work out. | |

| BEST UPGRADE regardless of cost? I have to agree with the others concerning the source equiptment. Upgrading the turntable or even a CD player can work wonders. Of course all the equiptment must intergrate well with each other. If anyone wants to try a 'new' source component, may... | |
| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? " Nothing will beat vinyl, its been 1200 years and its still king " Maybe true and I am a analog freak but there is another forn of analog that I have been consistently been mentioning and nobody has responded accordinily. That is 4 track open ree... | |
| What DECADE in the last 80 years had the BEST I would also agree with the 50's & 60's but perhaps not so much for the equiptment, but the tubes that went inside of them. Western Electric 300B's Telefunken & Siemens CCA's. Oh if they only had a detatchable power cord. | |
| room setup Everybody has this problem in a normal livivg situation. The only recorse is to move the speakers as far out as possible. Now I don't mean the speakers should be in front of your face, this will depend on the size of the room. People say drape a b... |
