| Preamp Deal of the Century Updates please! Has anybody who's ordered one of these since January got it yet? Fiddler? Fiddler?! I ordered mine in late March and am just wondering where I am in the pecking order. | |

| Best band never to release a truly great album? Lynyrd Skynyrd, unless you count the Gold and Platinum best-of. | |
| Best Female Rock Group Sleater-Kinney and PJ Harvey are spot-on choices. Both have delivered the goods over the course of their last several albums. Both qualify as major artists, IMO. | |
| Your favorite three Rolling Stones songs? Jumpin' Jack FlashWild HorsesGimme Shelter(top ten would be easier...) | |
| The best books on music I am a big fan of Robert Christgau's books, especially his three Consumer Guide compilations of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. In these books, there are capsule reviews and grades of literally thousands of records--mostly rock and pop, some jazz (fusion) ... | |
| What is the best Beatle Song I Saw Her Standing There | |
| Guidance regarding 2 female Jazz legends please.. As a longtime fan of Holiday, I am of the (dissenting) that her recordings on Verve are at least the equal of the earlier Columbias. In fact, I actually prefer the Verve recordings and have spent many a night reveling in the box set, which include... | |

I have a few hundred albums, but had them stored in boxes for the ... | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century Thanks, Tweakgeek. For me, the number of votes on the board for Sinatra compared to "no-show" Jones is more a testament to a general bias against country music than anything. Sinatra is/was great, but no male singer I have ever heard sings with mo... | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century George Jones, Al Green, and Frank Sinatra, in no particular order. I couldn't rank one ahead of another, and can't think of another male singer I would put in the same class as these three. There are many contenders, but these three have all earne... | |
| What are the 5 most overrated rock albums? 1)Pink Floyd, 'Dark Side of the Moon' - Is this thing still on the charts? 'Wish You Were Here' is a much better album.2)James Taylor, anything except 'Fire and Rain'- Maybe a cheap shot to include a singer-songwriter as frothy as Sweet Baby James... | |
| homeade equipment racks?? opinions? Here's another recommendation for the IKEA Lyte rack. I built one for my turntable set-up and am very happy with the results. I am far from a DIY kind of guy, but the instructions provided by Ken Lyon in that thread are detailed and meticulous, an... | |
| Looking for Amp advice I just purchased the P10s and have been using Bel Canto EVO 200.2 amps configured as mono blocks, along with a tube preamp (Audible Illusions M3, soon to be replaced by Supratek Syrah). I am using Piega's own speaker cables and will be comparing t... |
