| Good "Link" between SP9 Mk III and ProAc 1SC Look for a used ARC tube amp within your price range. ARC and ProAc = MAGIC! Lots of threads on this combo, BTW. | |
| Is there anything better then Sunday Morning Jazz? Every Sunday morning from 9 am-noon my local jazz public radio station plays a show called "G Strings." It's great, quiet, thoughtful jazz, and I listen with my coffee, NY Times and Wash Post, and messed up hair all morning just as you describe. I... | |
| killer violin tracks. I have been listening to a great piece w/violins and cello by Boccherini called "La musica notturna di Madrid." It's on the Master and Commander soundtrack if you can't find it on a classical recording. I also have a recording of it on an Ensayo C... | |
| What is Paypal charging you? And note that you can end up with an upgraded account without even knowing it. I thought I just had a personal account but I have something else and am charged 3% plus 30 cents on any and every transaction. Anybody know how you can "downgrade" you... | |

| Why Don't People Search The Forum Archives? Warren, in answer to making things more exciting round the 'Gon, I love it when there are threads on Best Jazz of 2003, or Best New Finds, or reviews of concerts and stuff. I know Ben Campbell already posted on something like this, maybe last week... | |
| What was your first music that you paid for? My first record was Hang On Sloopy by the McCoys. Purchased at Giant Music for about $2.47 (standard LP price in those days). I also got the Beatles Second Album and Paul Revere and the Raiders all around the same time. Different shopping trips, t... | |
| Anyone using Joule Electr VZN100 MKIII amplifiers? I have been doing research on the Merlins, and many many people are using them with Joule electronics. It appears to be a match made in heaven, esp. when you color match the finish on the amps and the Merlins. There are recent CES pix of the Joule... | |
| Anyone reterminated a Valhalla? I was going to suggest Drew also--his Audiogon member name is Drubrew. He makes his own cables and reterminates all brands of cables--very meticulous work. | |
