Name 3 under appreciated pop/rock drummers
Cozy Powell. Modern Drummer said it best by stating that Cozy never reached Bonham like status because he was never associated with one band like Bonham or Paice.Tommy Aldridge is another drummer associated with multiple bands and a great talent w... 
I had no idea
Totally agree with Tpreaves. Search on YouTube “Odd Couple Roy Clark” and be amazed!Also, I was never a George Michael fan (still not) but search on YouTube for his live performance with Queen (tribute to Freddy Mercury concert) of “Somebody to Lo... 
Saw Heart last night
I caught part of their show (outdoors) about 4 years ago and was pleasantly surprised how good they still sound. Ann’s voice was the highlight. I was back quite far so the volume was not an issue. At the same venue, different year, I caught Styx. ... 
top ten things you learned about HiFi on Agon
I agree with Eldartford. No matter how much (serious) money I have spent on sources, speakers, etc. etc. I have not come close to the sound of live music in my room. Did I have some great sounding systems—YES. Did it sound like live music—NO!Pleas... 
Accuphase DP-67 vs DP-500
I had a DP 500 and found it very musical sounding and built extremely well. I have no experience with the DP 67 which I believe the DP 500 replaced. The DP 500 is suppose to have a better transport than the DP 67 from what I read.Fatparrot, please... 
Returning to REO's "Hi-Infidelity".....
I saw REO 3 times with Styx from 2001 to 2005. Styx was a lot better — every time! 
CDP with volume and digital input...Which one?
Audiobb, my opinion of the Gabriel Golds is that they are an outstanding cable. Many positives have been written about these cables so I guess a lot of people find them to be a great interconnect. It’s been too long for me to comment on the Cary 3... 
CDP with volume and digital input...Which one?
Audiobb,Unfortunately the Wadia and Cary were used in a different system and room then the Accuphase.I will say the Wadia is an all around better player than the Cary BUT costs twice as much with the upgrade. A recent player of mine, the APL 3910 ... 
CDP with volume and digital input...Which one?
I previously owned the Cary 306/200 and Wadia 861 with the GNS Statement upgrade as well as the APL modded 3910.I currently own the Accuphase DP 500 (redbook only) and it is a great player. Built like the Wadia (superb) with a very non-digital mus... 
What's your favorite remake of a song
I have 2 CDs I’d like to recommend. Both are total remakes of excellent songs. The first is “Big Bang Theory” from Styx. Not only are the covers done extremely well, the song choices are exceptional. A few of my favorites are “I am the Walrus”, “I... 
worse entertainer or performer of all time??
Phil Collins is an AMAZING drummer and live performer with Genesis. I too don’t support much of his solo work but lets be real, this guy has GREAT talent. Listen to the early Genesis albums right after Gabriel left. As far as his drumming goes, he... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Fiddler. Sorry I’ve been away from this post for some time. My GA-0’s had the upgraded top of the line Nex Gen RCAs that AM offered. I believed they almost doubled the cost of the cable when I won the auction.Jim 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Facten and Tvad. I sent mine back after the trial period and I don’t recall whether they were directionally marked. If they were not, there is a good chance I used them in different directions as I removed them a few times during evaluation. Many ... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Les3547. I’m one of the few that were not impressed with the Audio Metallurgy GA-Os. They sounded hard in the midrange. I used them between an APL modded 3910 and an Accustic Arts Amp II HC. My speakers are Zu Definitions. I’m now using the Gabrie... 
musical drummers...who are they ???
Stevecham, personally I could care less about the album or the film — just passing along info. Also, I wouldn’t refer to Moon as a “musical drummer”. He certainly took a new approach to rock drumming and influenced countless of drummers with his u...
