sam fender 17 going under spotify

The Captains last two albums were a return to form, Ice Cream For Crow, and Doc At The Radar Station. Lets be clear about beefheart he is a one off. His lyrics are genuinely extrordinary. He uses 2 lead guitarists but not in a Thin Lizzy style. No pedal effects just 2 players scratching and...

Since the concept of seperates appeared in the early 70s its been the way to go. However today we have seperates made by pretty much everybody.I have (you probably know this already) the cambridge CX range and am very happy. It seems the way I have gone is by sticking to a manufacturer once you...

Hi gasolin. Talking about amps I note you have the CX60. I ignored the weird review of the CX80 and bought it. Did you have the same dilemma, was it cost or your listening experience or the review that got you to the CX60?

you really should get out more

There has been alot of discussion recently about the significance of SQ in amps. Although it is something to bear in mind I would also think about inputs (digital and analog), outputs, tone controls, power, build quality. I have the cambridge CX80. With your budget how about the Azur amp?

The book was only released feb 2017. Its such an amazing coincidence you really have to check the book out. £8.00. Born in 1950 I was lucky enough to experience the late 60's during my late teens. The main difference between then and 1971 is that in the 60's music and fashion changed about every...

Ok I havent browsed all the posts but can software really improve the source you have already archived? $100 sounds a bit pricey, but wait, they want that every year phew!

I dont think there is a good amount of choice for a CD/network player. However the yamaha cd-n500 is a good choice. I had one briefly before I was fortunate enough to be able to trade it in for a CXN. It looked and sounded good enough but the wheel/knob you see on the right was very flimsy and...

almost forgot the late 80s early 90s american wave. Nirvana Pearl Jam Sonic Youth Sound Garden The Pixies Dinosaur Junior Jane's Addiction (already mentioned on previous post)

The point I am making is that in the world of seperates there is always a possibility of improvement. Like in my case Ive spent what for me is a large amount in the last year upgrading every component. The Cambridge CXN, CXA80 and CXC, there is probably something better out there for the money...

A young band from south london called Shame, Songs Of Praise. They are on Later with Jools sunday 13th. Thee Oh Sees, any of their last 3 albums. Flatworms. Ty Seagal. Janes Addiction, Strays The Groundhogs, Split Buffalo Tom, Let Me Come Over. Jimi Hendrix, Are You Experienced? Led...

Nobody is really happy with their system, thats why people spend so much time on this forum. Studio Souce, format source, streamer, Cd player, preamp, power amp, integrated amp, stand speaker, floor stander speaker, sub, interconnects, speaker cable, room acoustics, internet. Do the maths and...

I wasn't dissing Sonos in particular. Dont forget Im not looking at a multiroom thing right now. But i cant get past the fact that on a one to one basis the conventional all in one box and a pair of speakers for much less money completley trounced over all the wireless speakers I listened to...
