Best and Worst Rock Concert Moments
Best: Seeing Koyaanisqatsi with Philip Glass and his orchestra playing the soundtrack live. It was right after 9/11 so the film was especially profound and you could sense it in the audience who sat through the entire film w/o so much as moving a ... 
Most improved players?

Aria phono preamp - Mike Elliot blog
John, can anybody access the newsgroup? I don't see info about it on the site.off topic a bit...i'm not so sure naming his company Aria was a good idea. Searching for info regarding 'aria' is a major problem, as you can imagine.
