| Mark Knopfler & James Taylor So Many--I'd forgotten Metheny's Last Train Home--brought back great memories from late 80's. Spanish Moon--Feat Waiting for Columbus Walkin on the Wild West End--Straits Old Love--Clapton Unplugged Samba Para Ti- Santana Sweet Baby James-- ... | |
| Scout's Honor No Internet Search R n' R Triva questions (4) '78 was a great year for music--i might have gotten half of #1 right as Dire Straits came to mind immediately but for me everything else was overshadowed by my favorite live album of all time that came out that year: "Waiting for Columbus" | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room @sextantcv4 +1 on the Aerial Acoustic 5T's | |
| Amplifier Power tubes - important to sound? @emergingsoul OK so you started this same discussion in February of this year--did you not like what you heard at that time? Or did you forget? Or were you just seeking confirmation of what was said back then? And if the answer was different th... | |
| Amplifier Power tubes - important to sound? @immatthewj Apparently you're the only one not oblivious to the fact that OP started an identical thread to this back in February...and responses have been pretty much the same....maybe this is a test? | |
| The Mavericks - " Moon and Stars '' ..... Hadn't listened to these guys in a long time--thanks for the reminder. Raul Malo is a wonderful vocalist. M&S isn't quite as rollicking as their older stuff--a little more Latin pop-oriented but with his voice it comes off well. | |
| Stack Audio Auva Isolator I will be interested in your experience--my understanding is that AUVA w/ spikes will couple (not isolate) the speakers to your concrete floor while your podiums were de-coupling your speakers from the floor--one would think the results would be v... | |

| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? @audiokinesis With your discussion of on-axis/off-axis, made me wonder if that means these speakers should not be toed-in--ie so listening position is off-axis? or perhaps toed-in to where the "crossing point" is in front of listener? | |
| Audiophile Comedy @mahgister thanks for the humor ! Many all too true... | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue @bigtwin --I think you hit the nail on the head: Professional musicians often hear music from a completely different perspective and appreciate aspects the general public doesn't. I heard Court and Spark before i heard Blue so i like it better a... | |
| Kind of Blue I can't pick a #1 because for me the jazz i like at any particular moment depends on my mood and jazz covers every mood you can have But i will mention one artist i haven't seen listed--apologies if someone did and i missed it, but i can listen t... | |
| Help with XLR ICs. @tattooedtrackman Jeff Smith of Silversmith Audio (and Fidelium Speaker Cable fame) recently came out with some XLR ICs--i bought a pair of them 12' in length for around $1700--they are top notch--i still don't see them on his site but contact h... |
