Michael Fremer on INHD "Gear up"
When is the episode and the title of the "Geared Up"? 
LP storefronts in Houston
Thanks Rhyno. 
Looking For High Quality Drum Music.
CD titled 'A Tribute to Jeff' Dave Garfield - (Jeff Picarro). 21 Drum Salute is fanatastic. 
Long run speaker wires
www.impactacoustics.com. I bought a bulk 250' roll of 14ga/4 for $99. This wire is rated for inwall applications. I have two 40' runs. 
Let's build a subwoofer interconnect
www.catcables.comexcellent quality for the $$ - highly recommend.Doug (Lex) is a pleasure to deal with. Youtell him your electronics and what you want to achieve and he will give you his recommendation. 
What early 70's rock bands had violins?
String Driven Thing 
Please help with interconnects
Please check out www.catcables.com Doug makes all cables to order. Very good value for the $$. 
Recommendation for best Joe Jackson records?
Night & Day and Body & Soul are two of my favorites. If you enjoy big band music also check out Jump'n'Jive. He also wrote an autobiography outlining his life & career - can't recall the name - it was slow reading for me. 
A "Unique" Voice...
John Hiatt - good voalist, great songwriter. Teaming with Nick Lowe, Jim Keltner & Ry Cooder - what a group (Little Village). 
Krell 400 XI
Use the pre out for your sub hookup. You will need a sub that will accept RCA connection AND that has an adjustable crossover so you can blend the sub with your mains - not too much overlap in frequency. 
Gene Pitney RIP
I believe he wrote 'Hello Mary Lou' for Ricky Nelson. 
$1k, new, power amp, 100w or less, what do you say
A used Rotel RB-1080 (200 w/ch) can be had for $650. A highly regarded amp for the money. A less-powered RB-1070 (130 w/ch) can be had for $500. 
2-channel listening with a sub-woofer
I use a B&W ASW800 with my B&W N804s. I have my sub cutoff set at 50Hz. This sub does a wonderful job of integrating with the mains. I have a second set of cables (Monster 400) running from my pre (RC-1090)to the sub. I like the 12" driver... 
New David Gilmour record:any feedback?
I listened to this after I bought this weekend. I was disappointed, too somber. I followed up listening to Donald Fagen's Morph The Cat - this was much more my liking. 
Classic speakers to hunt down used
A JBL L-100 Century speaker is a great vitage speaker if you can find them.
