Linn Gear with Dali Speakers????
I recently added a pair of Vienna Acoustics Mahlers to an otherwise all-Linn system with great results. I did some extensive comparisons with the Linn 242s and although both had strong points I preferred the Mahlers on most music. My Linn gear is ... 
Linn Majik CD vs Ayre CX-7E CD
I'm pretty sure Audio Illusions in Ft Collins, CO carries both lines. No doubt there are other places as well. If a visit is out of the question, I bet the owner Rick could at least give you his impressions. 
Rowland PC1 PFC on Capri pre early findings
I got my Mahlers this past fall and am loving them. I've always used Linn gear for front end and electronics and am wondering if anyone has directly compared to the JRDG stuff with Linn's Klimax amps or the more powerful versions of their Chakra s... 
Best Bob Marley CD
Let's not forget Rastaman Vibration and Surival; and his posthumous Confrontation is also and outstanding look at what he was up to toward the end of his life. 
Rowland 501 or Linn Klimax
Tda -- Did you ever compare the Klimax solo with the Klimax twin? Anyone out there who's heard both these Linn amps and the Rowland 501? Interesting that people seem to be interested in one or the other. 
Which allround speaker ?
Vienna Acoustics sound like something worth checking out given your preferences. There are several models in your price range and they do all that you ask and then some. I find them detaled and precise with no hint of the harshness or etched sound... 
On The Feeding And Care Of Vienna Mahlers
When Rod from Soundings set up my Mahlers he told me that whether the woofers face in or out is very room dependent. He ended up setting mine up facing out, and doing a few things differently than the way I had set them up. They sounded very good ... 
Wireworld Eclipse Interconnects??
Anyone have any experience at all with Wireworld? 
Brian Wilson Fans: New Song
Thanks for the tip. If you're at all a fan of Pet Sounds or Smile this is well worth checking out. After seeing Brian perform Pet Sounds and then Smile, I fantasized that he would find his muse again -- I mean how could playing that music not be i... 
Live Earth 7/7/07 gentlemen start your tivo
Wow, if Al Gore's son is a speeding stoner this global warming stuff has gotta be a sick hoax by Al and his scummy scientist & Hollywood friends. Glad we've got nothing to worry about now that we know the truth about these vermin.

Chad -- Yes, there are a small minority of scientists who disagree (most of whom are funded by the energy industry or by the current administration), but that is a TINY minority. Yes, if you listen to Rush, Coulter, and others, you might get the i... 
Live Earth 7/7/07 gentlemen start your tivo
But what if they're right? The near unanimous consensus of scientists who read the evidence as clearly showing that our planet is in big trouble due to humanly created pollution? Of course not ALL scientiss agree that this problem is humanly creat... 
"new country" music recomendations please
All great suggestions, esp Lucinda Williams and Ryan Adams. You might also enjoy Johnny Cash's American Recordings (all great, much more accessible to rock & folk fans than his ealier work - which is also great), Townes van Zandt, Guy Clark, R... 
Anyone into GOMEZ?
I think pretty much everything they've done is great and their live shows are stupendous. I've taken at least 8 people who never heard of them to see them and all have been blown away. In addition to Bring it on, Liquid Skin, and the live album (n... 
Live Recordings: DVD vs CD; Which do you prefer?
Although I sometimes do like watching concert videos alot of times I find the visuals distract me from the music -- even when the sound on the DVD is top notch. So sometimes I just turn off the tube and listen to the music. That said, there are ot...
