Norah Jones on Bluenote??
Does this mean her new album is out? 
You used to love it but now.......................
Talking about Tull, I just picked up Ian Andersons Rupi's Dance. I thought it was pretty good! I also scored the Tull Christmas CD but probably won't try it out for at least 11 more months. By the way this thread is hilarious everyone's being way ... 
You used to love it but now.......................
I Finally pulled the plug on Zepplin and sold my whole collection same goes for Pink Floyd, and If I never heard another Boston tune it would be to soon. I still love Jackson Browne, caught him live last year at a small venue, still lots of magic ... 
Thiel speakers... one more try
Close your eyes and trust your ears 
What amp for Thiel cs3.5's?
I've owned a lot of Thiels and a lot of different amps. Here's the hard truthIf you only wanted to spend $500.00 on an amp you should have bought different speakers.I don't think you'll be happy with anything less than a Classe 301 to drive those ... 
Where to get marching band recordings?
I'm with Slappy on this one. WHO CARES! On a more positive note how about the sound track to the movie Drum line? 
Aerial Acoustics 7B and Best Amplifier Pairing
Hmmmmm, Denon with Pass labs sounds like a miss match to me. I use a Theta Dreadnaught to drive my LR-5's, CC-5 and SR-3's I think you'd be real happy with the Dread I or II. 
Want to buy new HT setup, any help appreciated
If I had that kind of money to spend this is what I'd do. I'd start with a Theta Casa-Blanca-III loaded with three extreme dacs plus a few other cards (pre-amp) Then I'd add a Theta Carmen-II Progressive scan DVD player (digital transport) Next co... 
Do CJ's amps project a "V" shaped soundstage?
I think that CJ's project more of a "C" shaped soundstage or is it a "J" shape I can't remember? Anyway, if you really want a "V" shaped sound stage you may need to audition something like Vandersteen, Viola or maybe even Velodyne? I would also re... 
DVD recomendation
I've been very happy with my Theta Carmen-II (six months old) It comes with progressive scan and DVI output standard equipment. If you demo one at home I doubt you'll take it back to the store. Keep in mind it's just a transport, you'll need outbo... 
anyone have input on counting crows 2 mfsl discs?
I don't no anything about the MFSL recordings but I would like to say that I picked up their new greatest hits compilation and am enjoying listening to it. This being my only Counting Crows CD right now.I picked up the No Doubt g/h too, that's not... 
Clean power & ground issue?
If you want clean power bite the bullet and run a couple new lines minimum. Short cuts just don't cut it on this issue. 
Which surr/proc to go w/ Krell & Thiels?
I use to run those same speakers through a Theta Casa-Nova with great results. You can run the front three channels balanced too if you'd like. Theta pre-amps are sweet and can be had for a song these days (less than 2k) I never had any complaints... 
Aerial Acoustic's CC3B
I went from a Thiel MCS1 to an AA-CC3B and heard a noticable difference. The Thiel being more Dynamic, among other things. I clearly felt the CC3B was inferior but having just changed over to Aerial I wanted a matching center.Later I upgraded to t... 
What is a DVI input?
Without getting real technical DVI is the best video connection in the market place today. This connection requires a 15 pin cable between two compatible components. I use this feature linking my Theta Carmen-II to my Panasonic plasma monitor. The...
