| Radiohead read on Jimmyrod- I had the exact opposite experience. I got Pablo Honey for free because I was working in the business at the time. The commercial overplay of 'Creep' convinced me that the band was just about getting on the angst bandwagon, so I never re... | |

| LOOKING FOR CD STORAGE RACKS I like Tree Designs (http://www.treedesigns.com). I have a 750-cap. one in black oak that is very well built. The larger ones are built w/ kit-type cam locks, but the panels are still very good quality. The shelf assemblies are supported by pins i... | |
| Preamp upgrade ARC LS5, SF Line 3, others? I use a SF Line 1 with an ARC D200 and really enjoy it. I think there's definitely something to be said for combining a tube preamp w/ SS amplification. And the SF Line series features are very nice- I particularly enjoy the headphone amp w/ my Se... | |

| Are Tuners - Audiophile quality I'd thought that the Fanfare was the way to go, too. But I recently read a review in The Audio Critic that made me wonder. David Rich took the lid off and wasn't all that impressed with the innards.Anyone else read this? Any thoughts? | |
| help me find this artist It's actually Harriet "Wheeler." She's also married to the guitarist, David Gavurin. Unlike the Cranberries, the Sundays kept all of their music fairly mellow. And I definitely recommend Beth Orton also.The first time I saw the Sundays play, in 19... | |

| Cd storage..what's an audiophile to do? http://www.treedesigns.comThese are nice, and relatively inexpensive, wood racks available in several finishes. I have one w/ 250 cap. that's very solid, and I plan on replacing it with a larger one in the not-too-distant. | |

| Dedicated power circuit 42659, can you tell us more about how you terminated the Storm Products wire? I'm curious how you arrange 37 strands between hot, neutral, and ground. Thanks. | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... For God's sake, man, be sure to have some real ale (The White Horse on Parson's Green is amazing), cheese from the Neal's Yard Dairy, and Asian noodles at Wagamama as well. And that's besides all the touristy things to do. | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... Hey, Kennyt, the place you're talking about in London is the Cadenhead bottle shop. They're the oldest independent bottler. Everything's cask strength and you can tell what they have by what's listed on the chalkboard. Some legendary bottlings hav... | |
| Best Martini s FWIW, Anchor Distilling's Junipero Gin is amazing, and it comes from Fritz Maytag of Anchor Brewing (and, incidentally, family-wise, the appliances and the blue cheese, too). Haven't tried it in a martini, but it makes for an outstanding G&T. ... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... My accessible answer is Talisker's standard bottling. The one that got away was Adelphi's cask bottling of 30 yr. old Springbank- $100 I should've spent before it went away. Generally, I'll take cask bottlings over diluted/filtered ones any day. U... |
