| Beatles Remasters: Mono vs. Stereo Debate Thread Yep, I got an email today that they are now discontinued, and my order will not be filled. Thanks a lot, CD Universe. Would it kill them to put a "sold out" sign on the item to save us all the time and trouble of placing an order for an item they ... | |
| Beatles Remasters: Mono vs. Stereo Debate Thread After a long time searching, I could find only one place that appears to still have mono box sets available, and that is CD Universe. Just a tip for anyone still trying to find a place to buy the mono version. | |
| Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far The new Sonic Youth is their best in a coon's age, ranking among their very finest records, IMO. Also really like TV On The Radio's new one, which came out earlier in the year. | |

How about Sonic Yo... | |
| any early 80's alt/soft punk fans out there? The Feelies, especially "The Good Earth," would qualify, I think. The Church also put out some good stuff around then. I'd like to have a dollar for every time I played "Murmur" in those days. Ah, college! | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Samson monoblock amps Amplifier Hi Brian,I have them in a rack, sitting on maple butcher blocks. The blocks made a nice difference. | |

| Review: Tube Research Labs Samson monoblock amps Amplifier I actually thought about the Spectron before ultimately deciding on the Samsons. Once I got the Samsons, I stopped thinking about the Spectron---or any other amp. They continue to amaze me every day. |
