| Johnny Hartman with John Coltrane Warren,Yeah that's a GREAT record, one of my favorites. Try Coltrane's Lush Life as well... sorry no vocals. | |

One problem I've had: in my Analog phono system, I literally blew out a woofer at fairly high volume not from clipping, too much power or music transience but from amplifying a fairly warped record. the wide subsonic excursions finally did in one ... | |
| Anyone ever heard Rega separates? I've owned Rega Brio and Miro and now Miro3; I am very happy with the sound of the Miro3 (which I use in a second system, although a little limited in terms of force and scale, but really clear and clean for the money. I have a Rega Maia power amp... | |
| Low volume bookshelf spkrs that go from 20 to 20k? I see a Proac 1SC for sale here I would love to own.. not really bookshelf (requires stands, not against a wall) but would work great and very high quality for $1K. The only way to go down to 20Hz would be to have a pair of Allisons or AR's or oth... | |

| How many pair of speakers do you own? Klama,Your 1,2, and 3 are some of my all time faves... How do you like those Epicure 3's?Good luck on some vintage Allisons.. get the big ones with the two 10" woofs at the bottom | |

| The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones Fatparrot said it all; I'll take the Beatles, you can have the stones.Until the Beatles, no one ever did anything like Eleanor Rigby, Nowhere Man, or Within You Without you. | |
| Amp Advice for Newbies Seditious is right - the older Eagles can go "bad" with trannie hum/vibration and caps need replacement. Yeah ditto on the Adcom advice. | |
| Has your gear ever hurt you??? Everytime I change cables on my Eagle 4 I end up hurting my hands on those blasted heat sinks! NOT an ergonomic design... | |
| Damaging records with a hand turned machine. no, pressing hard with a proper record cleaning brush such at the discwasher or the musicdirect brush should do no damage as long as there is fluid applied | |
| First song to "Blow You Away"... Hey Tvad,I was a teenager listening to the radio late at night circa 1976 and was "blown away" by what was announced to me afterward as the new Genesis album, the cut being "Dance on a Volcano" Similar experience a year or so later hearing "11th E... |
