Greatest rhythm sections
I just saw The Bad Plus in concert at the Blue Note here in Tokyo this weekend. I had thought their recorded music was great but the show was fabulous and I have to say that Reid Anderson (bass) and David King (drums) from The Bad Plus really are ... 
need some suggestions for Acoustics Blues
I second the vote for Eric Bibb. All three albums on hybrid SACD/CD on the Opus3 label are great and each of his several others on regular CD (that I have listened to) are good as well. Great music which is fabulously recorded to boot. Start with ... 
Your Top Five for 2003
And Hau'oli Makahiki Hou back to you Kana813! 
What time do you wear?
Onhwy61, good question. For me, it is to know what time it is. For my job, during the week I have to know what time it is all the time. Certain things have to be done at or by a certain time during the day or they cannot be done that day (or ever)... 
Your Top Five for 2003
CDs & SACDs together in no particular order...[Can't remember if these are the BEST five bought but they seem to remain in heavy rotation]1) Mariza "Fado en mim" (2 disk set with Live at Womad 2002 (UK)) - CD/World Connection2) Bill Evans &... 
Counterpoint NPS + Soundlab Electrostats
I have heard Natural Progression series amps but not with Soundlabs - on Martin Logans instead, which I expect present a less-benign load to amps than Soundlabs do. I heard the monos, which are 150W into 8 ohms rather than 100W/8ohms. I thought th... 
Sony SS-R10 loundspeaker
I had thought that the SS-R10s had not been made for several years (produced from early-mid 90s); a quick search shows that it's still on the SONY website of current models here but a different search within the Sony website shows that they are no... 
The Listening Chair - What type do you use?
Ed, while I agree that the Barcelona Chair with ottoman is super comfy (I have an Italian repro), it's leather and somewhat wider than the average person so sound waves reflect off it... I personally would like an Eames Lounge Chair but that too i... 
Accuphase model numbers?
The Accuphase website is usually pretty thorough in its explanations of its products. There is a link to their products here with details on all current models. There is also a section showing non-current models at the bottom of the page. 
Looking for new genres...
Try some "world music" or modern classical. In the category of "world music", if you like vocal music, you might try flamenco (try El Cameron), Fado (Mariza, or A. Rodriguez), or some of the work by Portuguese group Madredeus. You might try also s... 
Peter Gabriel and music like his
Canucks0, you pose a tough question. I saw your post a few days ago and did not know how to respond. Not sure I'll do well now either... I am a big fan of Peter Gabriel music from throughout his career. Nothing strikes me immediately as being "lik... 
Martin logans or Dali Euphonia
I apologize if my first post was a bit trite. I must admit to being surprised by the question because I find the two speakers present music so differently.I agree with Darrell that the MLs are far more transparent, soundstaging is better (if well ... 
Martin logans or Dali Euphonia
IMHO, the two speaker lines sound nothing alike. The Euphonias are nice as are the MLs (I've had MLs and have listened to the Euphonias several times). If you get many responses, it will be completely based on personal preference and will be EXTRE... 
Why so many Sony Scd-1 for sale?
Elizabeth, you're wrong - there is a cabal. People are shorting SCD-1s trying to cause a run on the market whereupon they will turn around and pick them up cheap, leaving the poor suckers who sold theirs trying to buy back at elevated prices when ... 
Luxman receiver info wanted
Flohow, there is another thread where Agoner Sogood51 posted a link to this site. I did not notice the R115 on the list but you might try contacting them.
