Herbie Hancock-Maiden Voyage
I agree with Synthfreek. Herbie's "funk faze" is not to be missed. 
Van Morrison remasters coming soon....

Audio Dealers in Greater Portland OR Area

Nuforce v2: has anyone tried them
I'm using a deHavilland Mercury II preamp with my SE V2s. Outstanding synergy. I originally had the SEs for about six months, and then got the V2 upgrade. It was well worth the money to me.
