Audio Aero Capitole 192 MK II se upgrade
The cryogenic treatment is it a life time process? I have heard of people doing this process to CD'S and the benefit only lasts so long. Having owned a few Tice power clocks you have to send them back every once in a while for this process. I have... 
Opinions on the Oracle Delphi V's performance?
I have a Brooks Mod Oracle Delphi I and have heard the latest Delphi and i can say with all candor they have one thing in common. They both throw a HUGE soundstage but the Delphi V handles the tempo of bass notes better. My Oracle is the last turn... 
Your Top 5 Sax Players?
Yeah but don't forget Touch,Barefoot Ballet and a very underated recording and my favorite Lifestyles. Sure it's not traditional jazz but it sure is spacey,dreamy,music to just float with after a hard day at the salt mines. 
Any XTC fans?
My favorite album is Mummer side two. I have the early stuff on Virgin and the later stuff on Geffen. Skylarking is just to hot in the high end but it is a great album none the less. From Oranges to Lemons on it is Cd's that sound just fine. In fa... 
Meditative Music for Quiet Concentration
There were a series of Enviornment records put out in the 80's that you can find in thift shops for a dollar in good condition. They just play the same theme over and over again like the ocean or birds chirping but my favorite was just rain commin... 
Your Top 5 Sax Players?
Yeah Kenny G, that begs the question if an artist finds a niche and crosses over to the mainstream selling audience ala Chuck Mangione,John Klemmer,George Benson is it still jazz. I dug John Klemmer and included him on my list because he put out s...

Johnny Cash cd's
The American Series is the one you have got to have. Although I find the first one the weakest of the bunch 2-4 are the stuff legends are made of. After playing these CD's constantly I have come to the conclusion that whenever Johnny Cash covered ...

Cream at Madison Square Garden
I'm all for anything to stop scalpers, they don't even go to the show,they take away the show from people,real fans who can only afford one or two concerts a year. A 370 dollar ticket being scalped could go for a 1000. If they come to L.A. I'll go... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Started off with Love/Love their debut album on Sundazed. I'm listening to Kiss right now and probably follow it up my MOFI copy of Wheels of Fire the side with Spoonfull cause everyone has been talking about the CreaM DVD. 
Folk/Rock choices that are well recorded
I have a couple of Original pressings by Gordon Lightfoot that sound really good(Sundown,If you could read my mind). Also Jim Croce's Greatest Hits a DCC 180 gram re-master sounds superb.My original pressings of The Band hold up pretty good these ... 
Help, what's the best "Sticky FIngers?"
Photon 46 also go to Sundazed Records website and order from them straight away and cut out the middle man. I just bought Love Revisited after being wowed with the remaster job they did with Forever Changes by Love. They are cheaper than most and ...
