| Oracle Audio Technologies I have always wanted an Oracle Delphi VI turntable. I'd buy one if I could find one locally. I just can't see shipping a table that refined over thousands of miles and expecting it to arrive in mint condition. It seems most ads that I see for the ... | |
| Sean Connery has passed away :-( I recall seeing Sean Connery in "Darby O’Gill and the Little People" back in the 1950’s at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. He was great then, and even better, as 007 in the James Bond series. Very sorry to know he's gone. | |
| Songs that make your system sound AWSOME! I have a roomful of choices that would qualify, but to keep it short, "AJA" by Steely Dan, and "The Nightfly" by Donald Fagan. I see that the OP is looking for songs. Any song on either album qualifies. | |
| Help with choosing a CD transport Take a look at a pre-owned Oppo 105. They're available for around $1,000. | |
| What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it? My Sonus Faber Electa Amator speakers. They are the original ones, bought new in the 1990's, with the marble/walnut stands. If I can pick two, it would be my Stax headphones (currently 009s). | |
| Audiophile Blu-Ray player(s)? FWIW, I never wrote "...I do think that you would be hard pressed to find a more component unit for both audio and video." That should have been "competent," not component. Thanks, spellcheck. | |
| You can Vote for Most Valuable Lead Vocals (Rock Groups) yyzsantabarbara and mapman,The new David Byrne HBO concert video is amazing. It’s called American something (I forget). It’s also available on vinyl. There are a dozen performers, and their use of sets (or lack of them) is so creative. I was mesme... | |
| So, I just played this song, and.......... I discovered "The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys" back in college. I remember being so excited to find the MFSL version in a small shop in Berkeley. It’s a short album (6 songs), but packed with great music. If you don’t already have it, find it. Y... | |
| Amp repair cost — is this right? Lots of opinions here, some good-some not so good. I know you know that your amp is worth more fixed vs. not fixed. I’m a guy who can’t stand to have something I own stay broken, but that’s me-not you. As an insider, I’m able to access the Audiogo... | |
| The "other" singers you enjoy.........? edcyn,I have read about the erratic, unhappy lives of both Tim Buckley and Nick Drake. From what I read, they were both disappointed in the response to some of their early albums. They're both gone now but their albums are here for us to enjoy. My... | |
| The "other" singers you enjoy.........? Two "other" singer/songwriters that I have recently discovered are Nick Drake and Tim Buckley. I can't believe it took so long, but I highly recommend both. | |

| 1st Album you Ever Owned? The first record album that I bought was the Beatles, "Rubber Soul". I bought it when it first came out. I thought every song would be a hit and it made me a Beatles fan for life. | |
| Audiophile Blu-Ray player(s)? I have two Pioneer BDP-09 FD Blu-ray players. The MSRP for each was $2200 when new, but you can find them today for much less. I don’t know what you would consider an "audiophile" player but I do think that you would be hard pressed to find a more... |
