I see her next Sunday afternoon. The bad news is that my young friend is too ill to attend. I will be able to fill the empty seat, but my heart breaks for her plight.

So glad you enjoyed it. How...

After reading the other reviews/impressions here, I see I have inadvertently supplied yet another divergent opinion of the event. Glad to oblige!

I did make it there on Saturday. The evacuation due to a fire alarm was an interesting diversion. Down eight floors and back up eight floors, eventually, all on the stairs.

I didn't see/hear...

All Stax for me since 1975, excepting some old Beyers for computer use. Once you go Stax, you never look bacx.

While I expect none to care, I consider the moment Van topped even his own greatness was his Irish album, Veedon Fleece.

Elton John and I have only one agreement re: music that I am aware of. We both feel ABBA's best song, musically, is Take A Chance On Me. If you are ever presented the old Olivia Newton-John TV...

If any of the genres that are mixed and matched in this ongoing BBS Scotland/BBC4 series are of any interest to you, these recordings and DVDs will be a piece or heaven for you. Jerry Douglas and Aly...

Small World. I was listening to Emmylou tonight. And another voice of great character and subtlty, Karan Casey. She has a short USA tour next month, in small cultural venues. She's Irish and has also...

Female voices? Lisa Gerrard, The Black Opal. This will also test the bass response like few other discs can. The music appears to be brilliantly (partially) synthesized. The better the speakers, the...

Well, I have been doing my homework and it seems Julie Fowlis is at the forefront of the Scots Gallic revival. This program demonstrates what a force she has become for Celtic Scotland.

At least if you don't like them I won't get all the blame!

April 21st, back to the Bloomington Performing Arts Center to see/hear Julie Fowlis. It is the final stop on her Spring US tour and will uncharacteristically and festively occur at 3PM on a Sunday...

Thanks for the post. I didn't know about the DIY kit. If I need another one I'll just build it. It is the ideal preamp because it has no sound signature at all and no audible distortion. If your...

Glad it worked out so well, Brett. Thought I would share my current preamp situation.

Two years ago I went a different way and landed a First Watt B1 buffer preamp. Realizing that the gain...

Of course the crack about Classic Rock was highly subjective (I was thinking about Styx, but what the hell), but my advice to find someone who does the same thing you like but better is sound....

While my fairly revealing rigs have me liking the apples vs apples superiority of Redbook over everything else I have tried, that is a distant third for me when the choice is to be made. Second is...

Try Headfi or some strictly audiophile forums. It can take hours to find threads where BS doesn't dominate. The reasonable voices on Headfi have fled to the Sound Science forum, where you can still...

One more interesting feature of First Watt products. Except for a brief period now past, when I think it was a son and a nephew helping out, all were/are hand soldered and assembled solely by Nelson...

Yes, I'll recommend it. Old hat to some experts here, but I learned a lot. It does have a very wide perspective.

BTW, it arrived promptly. It just took me a long time to get around to...

Damn, you know your bass players.

There is a new entry come to town. Ethan Winer has written a tome called The Audio Expert. It looks far reaching, and I have benefited from his writing in the past.

It is on Amazon, but I have...

While totally unintended, when read in that light notice how Robb's comment fits right in.

Like I said. High resolution Blu-ray audio. It's here. Thanks, Neil. Wouldn't you know progress would have to come from an artist's initiative.

Just watch. Meridian and Wadia will market super...

Darn nice stuff. There is a sixth musician here, Joby Baker on keys. They have used him whenever he is available. Margo is mixed over the band, so the vocals are very full but the band is muted as...

Over at a site like Head-fi, which is really full of guff, the lifted veils and revelatory improvements are usually about tweaks, like burning in cables, a ruinously expensive NOS tube or isolation...
