Carmina Burana - I need a good CD
Tombowlus,The thread you are looking for is here, and as I did in that thread, I still heartily recommend the Telarc with Donald Runnicles & the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, which I think you'll be particularly pleased with (especial... 
Best Recording of Scheherazade

Another AudiogoNer in the NY Times
More confusing still: the standard spelling is "ginkgo." Some sources, however, list "gingko" as a "variant." 
Need cure for Sunfire True Subwoofer hum
I used to give mine a good whack every now and then, which would fix it for awhile, but not very long. Eventually I succumbed and sent it back to Sunfire. They fixed it and upgraded it to the equivalent of a Mark IV for about $200+ if I recall cor... 
Exceptional Recording of Carmina Burana
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the new Telarc SACD with Donald Runnicles & the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus.Perhaps some Carmina freak out there will see fit to take issue with a particular aspect of the performance, but overall it ... 
Inactive speakers in the room...any effect?
Unsound: Amazing! I have just such a cup!!Since it's just a prototype (sorry--can't name the manufacturer as I signed a nondisclosure agreement) I didn't think anyone knew about these yet. As for the sonic effects, I can't say for sure: they requi... 
The finest technically recorded album. LP or CD
Don't mean to sidetrack the thread, but I have to comment on Viridian's observation about live broadcasts:Technically, as close as you can get to live with the exception of live FM broadcasts which are not subject to the violence done to the music... 
The finest technically recorded album. LP or CD
If SACD recommendations are allowed, I'd have to nominate "Live Recordings at Red Rose Music, Vol. I." This is a disc of minimalist recordings (no electronic gimmickry) made in the Red Rose store in New York City of unamplified instruments in pure... 
Classic rock album covers
Go for it, dude!! I mean like what are like the chances that like anyone from like the 70's is even like still alive?? And as far as like copyrights and like intellectual property and stuff, well I mean like whatever!! 
Vivaldi fans lend me your ears for a moment...
Tireguy,Interesting tread...umm...thread! I'll try not to get all steel-belted on you and ply you with my bias--but you can always ignore what I say and listen to the radial...umm...radio if you prefer.Nevertheless, Doc-stereo certainly ID'd the s... 
Where does your user name come from?
Hey, Rgd, you really nailed that obscure lyric!! "No flies on you!" (as one of my Aussie friends is fond of saying).However, Colitas' explanation did pique my curiosity, never having been quite sure of exactly what the lyric was, nor what it meant... 
Ok this will be a good thread.
Marco,While impressive, THE POWER OF CHI cannot hope to match THE POWER OF CHIA. Once you fully grok this deep truth, meditate on this haiku:If your dog, Green with envy,applies right filterwill he be well Red? 
Sonus Faber website completey useless

The Scariest Story Ever Told?
Hawaiikid,Your commentI must admit that I nearly had a heart attack and felt lost without my trustworthy and extremely loved Berning amplifier.made me wonder if you might be a victim of the infamous "Berning Scam." Apparently some guy on eBay has ... 
The Best System In The World
Hpshps,Don't know if you checked out Winston Ma's system, but it looks like he's got software up the wazoo! Aside from the roughly 1,000 CD's shown in one picture, he's got an entire "media room" filled with LP's!Tireguy,When making a post, beneat...
