Great Old Gear Who can forget about the Dual 1229 turntable in the early 70s, or the B&O 4002 linear tracking turntable - hell, I still own it and am damn proud of it! Had it silver wired, and it's served me well for 30 years... Of course, the cartridge stylus combination costs more than a...

Pink Floyd Shows MajorLoser, Ah, that's entirely a different matter, and one that I still wish I could claim. :cool: Pat

Pulse After reading the comments in this forum, I decided to rent it from Netflix prior to purchasing the 2 disc set. I enjoyed the show very much - Pink Floyd is one of my favorites that for some weird combination of reasons, I've never been able to get to see live in concert. Clearly, this...

Greatest Bass Players I can agree with most all of the bass players listed by my fellow audioholics, but I'm surprised that no one has listed Anthony Jackson, who has played with Lee Ritenour on numerous albums. One only has to watch him on the previously mentioned "Overtime" DVD (2 DVD set) -...

Paradigm Speakers I bought my Paradigm Studio Reference Monitor system a couple of years ago and love the sound it produces. I spent a long time listening to numerous products, including Axioms, prior to deciding to spend the extra money on the Paradigms, and couldn't be happier. I perceived...

Interconnects thru walls As many other Audioholics have stated, I have no line level cables (analog or digital) running inside of walls or between rooms, because it is unnecessary - all my primary componants are in one place, and I have a secondary small system in a separate location. That...

Zappa plays Zappa tour Do you know the tour dates and locations? Down here in Florida, we often don't get some of the shows, and being a long time Zappa fan, I'd love to get to see the show. Read the review in the NY Times, but that's as far as I've made it.... Thanks, Pat:cool:

I would either use this tube amp in my bedroom, with a new set of speakers and supporting components, or connect it to my current surround system to drive the front main channel speakers. I've often thought about purchasing tube amps, but have never before had sufficient funds or time to move...

Subwoofers I believe that Sub placement and equalization are the best approaches to maximizing output and tuning the output, but dual subs are always helpful. Pat

Two Drummers Don't forget that the Doobie Brothers had two drummers.. Forget about the Michael McDonald era and focus on the rock and blues roots... Check out their two DVD-V offerings to see them in very smooth and integrated action... Pat

Best SACDs... For sure, DSOTM... The first 4 or 5 Elton John albums (before he became the Brown Dirt Cowboy)... excellent surround remixing and excellent music... Allman Brothers Eat A Peach... Santana Abraxas... Don't waste your money on the studio Norah Jones album in SACD...

Av123 I'd like to see your design on a new sub with frequency response below 20 Hz... Pat

Carpet Grip Craig, Great review thread - you've obviously been exceeding careful in running this comparison test, and it is most appreciated. I don't know if you ever answered the question on the carpet grip solution. I'm very interested in that, since I own the HSU TN-1220 with their...

New Music... Just picked up Dire Straights "Brothers in Arms" in DVD-A, and although I'm not a huge fan of this album, the remix sounds fantastic! Another great DVD-A is Dave Grusin's "Two for the Road", a cover of Henry Mancinnni tunes. No, I'm not that old, but I do appreciate Grusin's...

Thanks Hawkeye. I would be thrilled to pick up "Tales..." in surround, as it's my favorite of all of the APP recordings. Pat

New remixes of early APP releases I recently read a post that stated that Alan Parsons was preparing to remix and re-release the first 3 albums on DVD-A or SACD? Can anyone confirm that rumor?? Thanks, Pat

Palmetto Kid, Where are you located? Pat

Running on Empty Thank you very much. I was able to use that link to force my supplier to review their status on supplying the DVD-A version of this disc. After several conversations, they have now updated their status from pre-release to backordered, and are trying to get it in and fill my...

Try CD Universe and DVD Empire... I have been using both sources for the past year and a half, and have always enjoyed good luck. Pat

Several weeks ago, I recall seeing a post somewhere in this forum about a person owning and reviewing the "Running on Empty" DVD-A audio disc. I just tried to order it, and was told that it wasn't scheduled for release until 1/08. I'm hoping you can either confirm that you have the disc, tell...
