| Sub-woofer connection question agree with the above--unless the amp has inboard bass management you're not likely to hear a huge difference between the connection methods; however i'd opt for the rca out, as there's some sense that the rca cables will provide superior shielding... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report agreed on straightaways, even moreso on their debut, "trace"--for some reason "ten second news" always makes me cry. i've always thought farrar was some sort of a genius, though his range is fairly narrow and his records do get somewhat monochroma... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report ghost, i'm never offended by (and always welcome) reasoned dissent--it keeps me from getting too full of myself...fully agree with you on danny kirwan, who dropped off the map precipitously (booze/lsd, i think)-- for me the albums he played on wer... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report fleetwood mac, "future games" and "bare trees"--for my money the best iteration of the bandpolvo, "today's active lifestyle"--unique, challenging, ultimately rewarding | |

| List of artists that have never lost quality throughout entire career i've never been a massive tom petty fan, though he's had a ton of great singles, but i gotta say that (unlike say, dylan, or the stones) his output has been impressively consistent throughout a 40-year career + he still does it live | |
| Whats playing on your system today? kevn kinney, macdougall blues--his drivin n cryin has always registered as a bit too desperate-for-arena-rock-success, but this is something of a folky masterpiece.guided by voices, do the collapse--this was their ric ocasek-produced foray into hi... | |
| Speaker to mount in a bookcase - up to $2000 (somewhat long) the rega rs1 are always solid for your situation, but the best speaker i've heard within your budget for an actual bookshelf would be the paradigm signature | |
| Brightest but shortest artistic bursts in the sky moby grape's third album, '69, is arguably as good as the debut; the only skip spence song on the album, seeing, is amazing. i would also submit that twilley's solo debut, twilley, cuts the (unquestionably great) two albums w/phil seymour.as for b... | |

| Budget Upgrade for 2.1 bookshelf system your speakers are slightly harder to drive, so you'd be well served with an amp that can handle more challenging loads. spearit is listing a nad d7020 for $599--it has an inboard dac for your computer and more juice than the d3020. no affiliation. | |
| Spotify expected to launch umcomoressed streaming from what i read it's merely gauging demand/testing at this point--they have no definitive rollout plans and the president expressed some concern about whether potential users would accept the delay/latency attributable to the higher bandwidth. it... | |
| Looking for a used AUDIOPHILE AV Receiver as per akg, the arcam sounds vg, and you can find "em within your budget, but there is alot of anecdotal scut about their reliability; likewise nad which sound fine when they actually work. i'd opt for anthem, which is significantly better made th... |
