Best of Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan
Gershwin Live - Sarah Vaughan and Michael Tilson Thomas with the Los Angeles Philharmonic is spectacular. A grand voice with a stellar orchestra. 
Replacement for Proac Response 3's
Not so sure you have to worry about "aging"My Proac Response 2.5's are VERY old. Maybe one of the original's and they sound better all the time. Get loads of use and the sound really is wonderful. Never had to do any work to them. Just a stock pai...

Nashville TN
Hi,No clubs that I know of - but I guess I could be considered an audiophile. Just love to "kick back" and listen to great sounds. Range from Opera to great jazz and even some rock. Even some great Country and Bluegrass. As long as it's good I can... 
Vincent SV-236 vs Rowland Concentra 2?
I have had the Concentra 2 for a couple of years, running with PROAC Response 2.5 and an Arcam FMJCD 23 cd player.I could not be happier and have finally stopped looking for anything else. The combination is all I could ask for and far exceeded my...

Thoughts on the Jeff Rowland Concerto integrated?
Hi,I have the previous model (Concentra 2) and it is awesome.Have had this unit over two years and have it paired with Pro-Ac 2.5's and the FMJCD-23 player.I spend much less time listening for the "audiophile thing" and really enjoy the music. The...

Buying an mp3 player
Hi,I have the original Nomad Zen (20GB model) and could not be happier. I travel a lot and taking over 125 cd's with me is wonderful.The sound quality is very good (I bought the Etymotic ER6) which made a big difference. I do not use the backlight... 
Moving from ProAc's to.......
Hi,I'm using PROAC 2.5 with the Concentra 2 and an ARCAM fmjcd23.I could not be happier with the sound and continue to listen to wonderful music for hours on end.By the way before the PROACs I had Thiel 2.3 and did not like the sound at all. Way t... 
Thiel replacements
Hi,Very interesting. I went through the same thing a couple of years ago and got to the point where I had to get rid of the 2.3's. I could never get used to the harsh sound on certain recordings and since I listen for long periods it was driving m... 
Favorite MP3 Player if you happen to use them

Dylan, Richards, and Waits
Hi,I have had the "bootleg version" of this new Volume 6 release for many years. The sound quality is good and I am wondering if the official release would have significantly better sound quality?Or should I save the $15.00 bucks and just keep lis...
