    Top 10 Guitar Players all genres

    A lot of great jazz guitarists have been mentioned though, and someone posted a classical guitar list as well. In jazz, I particularly like Steve Tibbetts and Bill Frissell. Also, we mustn't forget flamenco. My favorites there include Armik and Johannes Linnestead.

    An upsetting event

    I have sent them an enquiry. Don't know how long a response will take. Hopefully, it will turn out to be something simple like being in standby without knowing it. I love the amp, so I hope it isn't really having issues.

    An upsetting event

    And if it does happen again, should I conclude it is a lemon and ask for a replacement? I have only had it a week.

    Does anyone think Ascend's 340SE's would best B&W 602.s3's?

    I will be trying some good, small bookshelves tonight. If I am happy enough with them to replace the floorstanders I am using now, I will try other bookshelves (including Ascend) in the future. If not, I will be done with bookshelves once and for all.

    Mockery of the Office of President

    Aaaagh! Nooooo! You have just burnt a hideous, indelible image into my brain. I wonder if I will ever be able to have sex again!:eek:

    I am sorry that you fail to see the immediate, obvious relevance to the paragraph I quoted. I must have overestimated your intelligence.:p

    Bye Bye, Athena

    This is because they weren't making as much profit from them as from the more expensive lines, and people were buying them because they sounded every bit as good.

    Bye Bye, Athena

    When I got my Omni 350s, I ended up giving away my F1s because the Mirages made them obsolete. Of course, the Omnis may be better than the LSs also, but that seems unlikely given the identical drivers and similar cabinets.

    Cambridge Audio

    Aside from a bit of a scare (see my "an upsetting event" thread), I have been extremely happy with my new 340A and 340C since I got them last week. The sound, looks, and build are all first-rate.

    An upsetting event

    I fired up my new 340A and 340C last night, and there was no sound! The manual said "make sure unit is not in standby mode", but gave no indication of how to tell the difference between "standby" and "on", or how to switch between them ("off" is easy to recognize, as the leds shut off.) They...

    Only in your imagination. I have never been "beaten off the path", and never will be.:rolleyes:

    Mockery of the Office of President

    A stranger walks into a bar. Someone asks "what do you do?" He says "I hunt vampires." They say "..but there are no vampires around here." He says "See what a great job I am doing!":D

    Mockery of the Office of President

    The ideas underlying the hippie movement were entirely right. It is only because they dissapated their energy through drugs that they did not succeeed in improving the world. The saddest thing is that today's America is more like the Vietnam era that the hippies rightfully protested than it has...

    Mockery of the Office of President

    There is nothing to "get". The only thing more fundamentally evil than war is pointless, avoidable war. That Texas cowboy riding over there with pistols blazing to administer his version of vigilante justice has accomplished nothing positive for anyone, least of all his own reputation. When...

    The way-ay-ting is the har-dest part!

    The more I read about the CA S30s, the more I think I could end up preferring them to the Mirages after all. Sure, they lack a bit of bass extension, but they are said to be stunning in all other respects. If my Cambridge electronics are any indication, they are built like tanks and with...

    Mockery of the Office of President

    I totally respect the Marines (and all soldiers.) It is the idiot giving the orders who deserves disrespect, ridicule, and abuse.

    Wrong again. His bogus war is the single biggest strike against him.

    Bush does suck. There is really nothing else to add.

    Mockery of the Office of President

    You are in the wrong thread for looking ahead. It was started for the purpose of dragging Bush and Clinton through the dirt. (Oh, and Bill's record is irrelevant to Hilary. She is very much her own person.)
