Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso
carmenc..You contacted me by email asking if Belles is really that great, based on your ownership of the Soloist-1 and Aria. David Belles is in a league of his own, designing both tube and solid state components for 30 years. Hes' currently 57 yea...

menosavy..To bad you are moving on from the Sierra's. The Aria integrated does not have enough power under the hood to bring the Sierra's up to their full potential. Amplifiers rated between two and three hundred watts per channel would be a bette...

Why do many discussions about sonic performance disintegrate into technical discusions?
There's no sincerity starting this thread whatsoever, and I ditto that this thread should be under the topic, tech talk, not amps-preamps. Its obvious whats really going on here. Of all people to bring up these tech issues regarding sonic performa...

Greatest Rock Drummers
There were rare moments back in the late 60's and early 70's where the fusion of drums and instruments blended so well together in a handful of live rock/blues concert's that will go down in history as the greatest concerts ever that not even Jimi... 
Anybody watch the Grammys tonight?
2chfreak..you nailed it. The dumbing down of America is correct. I haven't watched any award shows for years since those shows are nothing more than political arena's for moron's. What has caused this downhill slide during the past twenty years is...

pops..at the time the accident happened with Conor, there was a small party going on in the condo with about a dozen people present. Talk about reckless responsibility. Eric was just several blocks away at a recording studio, and when he got the n...

Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health
I've always been convinced that Eric Clapton would not be alive today if it wasn't for his son, Conor, falling from the 49th floor window of Claptons condo in March, 1991. What a tragedy. Up to that point Eric was battling ongoing drug problems, a...
