I wish you the best, Keith. I caught this post randomly on my once every three month click onto Audiogon. I have been meaning to send you some disks for a while now of some bands I have been following on the East Coast.... Going out to hear some J... 
Ryan Adams-more than hype
The first Ryan Adams I bought was Rock N Roll last month. To me, all of the songs on Rock N Roll are fun to listen to. I discovered Ryan Adams through the college radio station WLUR Washington and Lee University radio; The students played the Rock... 
Any recommendation for a modern FM tuner
If you live in a rural area and want to pick up distant stations as clear as possible (even if I do have to switch to mono), a vintage analog dial tuner picks up stations clearer than any digital tuner I have been associated with..... I am talking... 
getting people into 2 channel audio.....
I watch little TV, few movies, but go to alot of live music concerts - all types of music. "stereo" or two - channel sound is what it is all about for me; not matter what kind of system a person can afford. I like and respect you guys in Audiogon ... 
Celestion Ditton 44 Speakers
The midrange went bad in one of my ditton 44s. They still sounded alright, it took me two months before I got around to installing the Cambers I had before. Man, the Cambers are way more efficient, I don't need to crank my amp so high. The amp I h... 
Celestion Ditton 44 Speakers
I have enjoyed these speakers so much, I have kept them in my system so far.... Of course, they are so heavy, I do not feel like lifting them down from the shelf. It took a bit of effort to get them up there... 
opinions on how to build a wall Turntable shelf
4yanx - I like your method of combinig wood and metal for your turntable shelf. As per your last pharagraph, that is why I want to build this shelf myself. For attaching the shelf to the wall, I was going to run two 5 foot parallel lengths of ang...

"RECORDING OF THE WEEK"?????
the rock/jazz band "Ringsend" released their new CD "Sunday Brunch at the Gentleman's club" the last week in January. I am posting this a few weeks late, but I love this band. See "Ringsendmusic.com" --JB 
Anyone own "EDDIE FROM OHIO"???????
The student morning DJ's at the Washington and Lee University Radio station WLUR play Eddie From Ohio's music and rave about the band. I like their sound, I'll have to hear them live the next time they are in Virginia and get one of their recordin... 
Home HiFi better than Live?
My goal is to get out and listen to live music at least once a week: mostly acoustic "folk" music, bluegrass, country, blues in a small venue. I prefer the local bar or coffehouse where I can sit where I want to sit for the best sound, if I get th... 
Personal speaker evolution
1)Bose "omnivector" ~ $200 new - dad bought them for me when I bought my first "Techics" receiver in high school.2)Infinity ~ $300 new - I don't remember the model - I took them back to the store the same day I got them - did not sound as good as ... 
recommendations for inexpensive turntables
Tagyerit - Which turntable did you ultimately get? I can vouch for Sbank's comments. I am the second owner of a Thorens TD 146 with a Grado Silver cartridge, and it sounds worlds - no, galaxies better than my dad's old Technics turntable with a au... 
Why vinyl?
I like vinyl for the "cheapness". Just today I bought a stack of 45's and a couple LP's at Goodwill for four dollars. Last week, I was in the next town north of where I live picking up some VW parts I bought off of E bay; I casually mentioned that... 
What is your most beautiful component?
Rearranged my stereo rack again: I put my Thorens turntable with the Grado cartridge at eye level..... moved the Nak to the top to give the cover enough room to open all the way to watch the platter go round and round.....
