    inexpensive CD rack / cabinet I really like ($50)

    Fellowes Multimedia Rack -- holds 480 CDs -- $50 Model: 84131 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1051384056640 looks a lot better when you set it up for CD's only than the website picture. there are more rows, the rows are even, and the top shelf doesn't have those overly-tall...

    sennheiser pxc 300

    what's the word on the pxc 300's? worth the $70 more than the pxc 250's? i have er6's and they're just not really what i want on a plane. the er6's block out cabin conversations well, but the droning of the engines is still penetrating, and completely masks the already very lean bass of the...

    Vivaldi: Concerto for lute (guitar)?

    Baroque is probably not my favorite, but I really love this little piece. familiar with it? Any recommendations on a quality recording of it? I have a version by Narciso Yepes I found for $4, and it's ok, but I'm hoping for something better. I think Sharon Isbin has done a recording, but I'm...

    i was doing some tube swapping on my mg-head otl MK-III and decided to try the stock 6BQ5's again. flipped the switch to the amp back on, everything was ok for about 15 seconds then SHREEOOOOOEEIEIEIEIEIEIEIK! right in my ear, scared the crap out of me and was very loud. i thought one of the...

    bruce springsteen live / 1975-85

    i buy a lot of CD's that i dont mention here, but this is one to share. performance quality is insane, emotional, high energy, new versions of songs, crowd is going nuts. 10 out of 10 for sure. version of 'the river' with 5+ minute autobiographical intro set to dreamy guitar is really hard to...

    awesome horns/jazz recording -- paul chambers quintet

    just a heads up, fans of late 50's jazz might want to check this out. incredibly well recorded horns, probably the best of my jazz CD's. recording of drums, bass, and piano is good, but at par with other jazz albums of this era. the horns however, are to die for on headphones. album is "paul...

    will a MG HEAD OTL32 give me a sense of what the MG Head DT/OTL MKII sounds like??

    hi all, i know the MKII vs OTL32 question is asked frequently, so bear with me. im thinking about checking out an ASL MG Head DT/OTL MKII this weekend, but the only thing the shop has for demo is an MG HEAD DT/OTL32. The only MKII they have is in box. Do these amps provide a similar sound...
