I believe you are in for a surprise Syntax. You do know that most recording is done digitally now, don't you? 
Like a Rolling Stone - Looking for great live Dylan
You're right Hodu, people can play rockers as ballads. I guess I should have said that I didn't like the song redone as a ballad because it diminishes what makes it one of the all time great rock songs. And yes, Dylan has done a lot of diminishing... 
Jazz In A Woody Allen Movie: "Fading Gigolo"
I think it was John Turturro making a Woody Allen-like movie. I don't think Woody wrote or directed it. The music was great. 
Like a Rolling Stone - Looking for great live Dylan
Hodu, Eddie and Laura do a nice duet but the song is not a ballad. I prefer the sneer and bitterness of Dylan's version. Also Eddie needs to learn to lift his fingers off the strings when he slides them up and down the neck. I hate that noise when... 
Need some suggestions for a new audio rack
You won't be able to get something for $200, but Timbernation builds excellent quality stands out of solid woods to order. He sells here on Audiogon but check out his website, you won't be able to get the best but you might find something that wor... 
Sanders 10c/d + Magtech + tube preamp
I don't have experience with the Sanders amp but since the input impedance is 100kohms there shouldn't be a problem using a tube pre with it. I like the combination of a tube pre with a ss amp. Tubes can add a little richness to the music. Try to ... 
Should I upgrade to Martin Logan Montis?
Glad to hear that you like the Montis so well Jason. Is the low level you speak of the bass frequencies? As far as cables go, they shouldn't affect the sound because they are just charging the panels. The audio signal is produced by your amp. But ... 
Should I upgrade to Martin Logan Montis?
Well, you got a nice deal on the Montis. I don't think you'd have a problem getting your money back if they don't work out. Are you familiar with the Martin Logan Owners website? In the Room Acoustics forum there's a thread (14x18x8) where someone... 
Should I upgrade to Martin Logan Montis?
Another way to come at this question is to ask if you're happy with the overall sound of your system. The MLs are very transparent speakers so they will definitely reflect the components upstream from them. Do you wish your system sounded a little... 
Should I upgrade to Martin Logan Montis?
I haven't heard the Theos or the Montis but since no one else is jumping in here's my 2 cents. Many ML owners feel that the larger panel of the Montis is an audible improvement over the smaller panel of the Theos. Next, the new hybrids (especially... 
What makes Telefunken tubes sound better?
Let me just add that if the same percentage of Americans moved to Germany it would amount to 2.4 million Americans moving there. 
What makes Telefunken tubes sound better?
I am sure that Germany is a nice place to live, I would love to have the opportunity to live there myself, and there is no doubt the US is facing huge problems; and yet there are 618,227 people who were born in Germany living in the US according t... 
Who believes that Robert Plant
Jim Morrison or for someone who sings in Plant's range Grace Slick. 
What makes Telefunken tubes sound better?
What do you want to know about tubes Bojack? I'm no expert but I know a little. 
What makes Telefunken tubes sound better?
Schubert, Germany is a prosperous and free country due to American generosity and ideals of trying to make the world a better place for everyone. Germany has no such generosity or ideals but only thinks of enriching itself while America provides i...
