| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? bdp, a 5-string electric bass will go a fourth (possibly a fifth) lower than 42 (E)--down to B or A (27.5), about the same as a standard piano.From having recently tuned a piano I can tell you that it's really hard to discern precise frequencies d... | |

| Tubeyist sounding Pre-amp? Tubey or not tubey...that is the question?I've got a hybrid integrated (Rogue with tube pre, class D power) amp and sometimes I wish it sounded warmer and more sumptuous. But I don't want to sacrifice definition and clarity. I'm guessing that's ... | |
| Best pressing of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto? Heifetz, Stern, Milstein, Oistrakh or Perlman would be good analog. Mutter or Bell would be digital. Mutter/Karajan available on DVD digital video. I really like that one.Personally, I'd take a little less in the sound department if the perform... | |

| Tell Us about an Album That Took a Long Time to Grow on You Dionne Warwick's Greatest Hits--not something I cared for at the time it came out, but in recent years I have come to find that I love the combination of her voice with the Bacharach/David songs, the arrangements and the production. | |

| Which Clapton CDs? I forgot about "From the Cradle"--his 90's all-blues album. It's got some especially fine guitar playing on it. The singing is good, but I think it would have been better with Kim Wilson, Taj Mahal and/or other vocalists. Still a strong product... | |

| List of albums that will still be popular 50 years from now... buellrider97, none of those three guys (Paco, John Mc and Al) are classical guitarists. Paco is by far the closest (he plays fingerstyle, with nails, on a nylon stringed guitarr) ahd he did make one classical recording but is known for his playin... | |
