| Feelings on Napster? Mr. grid_lock: I too find no sense in the "fair use" arguement. I completely agree that as the rules are now written (even more so today than yesterday), using Napster is against the rules. However, I'm arguing a more fundamental point. The rules,... | |
| Feelings on Napster? Hmmm. I never thought of myself as a thief before. But maybe I'm wrong there. You obviously take the hardline capitalist viewpoint that all art is also a commodity and therefore should be regulated. I agree to maintaining an artists right to make ... | |
| Feelings on Napster? An eloquent response. It is indeed a complex issue. My personal opinion (and it changes weekly) is that most people assume that artists act out of profit motive and are therefore inspired to create-- Take away their control and they will be less i... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music My votes are for Itzak Perlman's "Remembrances" and the theme to Schindler's list. Autumn Leaves or any of Ellington's indigo's for that matter. Sting's "Dance Alone" and "Fragile". Stevie Ray's version of "Little Wing" and a couple tracks off of ... | |
| Best Way to Set up Vandersteens Good information, thanks guys. I do not have a manual, as I purchased these second hand. But I will get one now that I know how critical set is. | |
| Tubes for Top, SS for Bottom--Good Idea? No, that's the problem. I don't own all the equipment. I do not have an active crossover that will equalize the Dyna gain with that of the Perreaux. A good quality cross over costs about five hundred dollars. The other option is just to buy a good... | |
| Tubes for Top, SS for Bottom--Good Idea? I guess the question isn't so much is biamping a good idea...as it is "is biamping using tubes on top, ss on bottom a good idea." I looked at the VTL site and it appears that they triamped using the same amps...which seems logical to me. It strike... | |
| Tubes for Top, SS for Bottom--Good Idea? Hi, my associated equipment is: Vandersteen 2ce, Aragon Preamp, Nakamichi CD. | |
| Vandersteen 2ce vs. Meadowlark Kestrel Hi there, I've never heard the Meadowlark. But I own the 2ce and I really enjoy them. I too live in a smallish apartment...my listening room/living room is about 20x15 and they work fine. If you read this site, you'll see that I'm not alone in lik... | |
| BEST classical guitar.....CD! Better yet...a good agricultural cuban rum mixed with lime. | |
| BEST classical guitar.....CD! Also not classical spanish guitar, but if you want a lovely album of Cuban guitar, try Juan-Carlos Formell's "Little Blue House." He's the son of one of Cuba's most famous musicians and his CD is spectacular. This one is for those hot summer Sunda... | |
| Worst Music of All-Time There was some pretty bad S#!t to come out of the eighties...like Ratt...or Dead or Alive...round round baby right round, like a record baby right right round round...immortal classic. | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! Did someone already say....GWAR? | |
| SF Assemblage ST-40 tube amp? I can vouch for the Dyna St-70. Excellent highs and midrange. But needs work on the bass end...especially if you have some difficult to tame speakers. I've heard the ST-70 II, the revamped model by the Japanese, is much better in that department. ... |
