John Mayer. Buy his album room for squares
Great new artist.....check out my thread on John Mayer in the search archives... 
What is the best speaker for a small room 10X11
I had an opportunity to audition the new PMC DB-1 mini-monitors in a small dedicated listening room (12x10) and thought that they were very good. The bass was much more focused and they imaged wonderfully. At times could be on the bright side, but... 
Speakers for very near-field listening?
Actually, I should take back some of what I said about the Joseph's. I didn't care for the RM7's in the nearfield in my room....however, I forgot that I let a friend of mine borrow the RM7's who also has a smal listening room and listens in the ne... 
Speakers for very near-field listening?
I owned the Joseph RM7si and although they are nice speakers and I did enjoy them....I didn't find them to work that well in the nearfield. 
Speakers for very near-field listening?
Check out the new PMC DB-1 monitors. Very popular with studios. I would also recommend ProAc's 
Proac Yew Owners
4yanx....thanks for the great information on yew wood. What type of wood polish or conditioner (if any) would you recommend for my yew ProAc 1SC loudspeakers? 
Are new Rush remasters better?
I haven't heard them all, but I have compared the Moving Pictures regular release to the remaster and the MFSL Gold CD. The new remaster sounds too digital and lean....a little hot too. The MFSL is unbeleivable and is as close as you are going to ... 
Wayne Shorter Quartet -- a show worth seeing
Joebone....I simply answered Swingman's question regarding John Patitucci. If you noticed I recommened several releases that Brian Blade appears on as well as mentioning Danilo Perez on the Roy Haynes album. If you wan to study the playing of Wayn...

Wayne Shorter Quartet -- a show worth seeing
Swingman,Here are my top 10 favorite titles that John Patitucci plays on. 1) Steve Kahn / Got My Mental 2) Chick Corea Akoustic Band / Live From The Blue Note Tokyo (Import) Also includes Vinnie Colaiuta on drums....this is an absoulte must have. ... 
Wayne Shorter Quartet -- a show worth seeing
Great band....awesome show. Saw them a few weeks ago at the Carpenter Center on the campus of California State University Long Beach. Patitucci actually attended CSULB's music program. 
Not another "Should I leave my amp on question???"
Very good point Maxgain....thanks. 
Not another "Should I leave my amp on question???"
Thanks Sugarbrie....this is what I kind of figured and is the reason why I have not been powering the amp down when I am gone for short periods of time. Thank you... 
Not another "Should I leave my amp on question???"
Nope....if I owned a SS amp I would not be asking the question. However, since I own a tube amp and I am somewhat concerrned about burning through tubes it makes me wonder. If I am gone 1-4 hours a day that could end up being roughly an additional... 
"Kid A"
I saw Coldplay at their first LA apperance last year at the Miyan Theatre. Unbeleievable show. Definitely pick up Coldplay's first domestic release "Parachutes" Their new album is also excellent, but start w/ Parachutes. I would also recommend Gom...
