What are the top 3 CD/albums in your collection?

Are you saying that MC is posting here still? I haven't heard from him since he recorded that song about cat barf (or something like that).

...I don't share o2audio's sentiments. I suspect that due to the time of day 3LB posted, it was either because he was bored or he was a bit tipsy and got nostalgic.

In my comment on the reason for deleting my reply was specifically that...the reason for deleting my own reply...not that no one cares about the whole thread...just that no one cares if I post my three favorite CDs on a five-year-old thread.

...years ago about some of our MIAs, and one I mentioned responded and said he changed his moniker. I can't for the life of me remember who that was at this point, but I didn't want to make that same mistake.

So let me throw this out...do you know of any current members, besides dbi, who changed names at some point?

Hey, why's everybody always picking on me? I haven't seen Ms. Nomer around for a long time. She was a funny old bird!

And didn't you used to go by something like To Live And Die In NY and talk a lot about the Goo Goo Dolls? Or was that someone else?

Oh yea, top 3 albums. Hmm, let's see, Listening right now to a 1993 Holland-made CD reissue of the classic Mink DeVille "Le Chat Bleu", and it sounds great, as does the import vinyl from way back when I first got it, so maybe that would be one. Savoir Faire, yea. And when I want to get lost for a long time, maybe have to go with Brian Eno and Harold Budd, and some Daniel Lanois too, for "The Pearl". Beautiful record, and that's what it is in this case. Never heard the CD, but might just have to look for one. And though I've really kind of worn it out over the many years, and though it does tend to remind me sadly that there is only one way to go after you reach the the top, Talking Heads "Remain In Light", which gives me an extra Eno pick as well

I never used an different name on RR. Only in real life where I have numerous aliases to cover my tracks. And I detest the Goo Goo Dolls. Well, let's just say I don't care for them.

funny, I saw the Goo Goo Dolls open for Gang Green at the Electric Banana Club in Pittsburgh...1987 I think. They were mohawked, spike-wearin' punkers then...least they looked and sounded like it. Now I guess I know they were poseurs.

Yea, I heard they were much better in earlier days, I just never paid much attention. I was just razzin' ol Swish bout one of those members that has changed his name, long before your time, but here's an old thread of about the same starting vintage as this one we're in right now ... might be good for a chuckle ... http://archive.audioreview.com/10/0EF9B804.php

Hi well you can't go past SACD unless you can guarantee an excellent recorded CD.

1.Dire Straits (20th Anniversary SACD) - Mark Knopfler himself remixed the entire album
in 5.1 Digital Surround sound. All the tracks playback suburb. If you're a Straits fan, you
are doing yourself a disservice by not trying this disc out.

2. Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds SACD - the playback again... outstanding. I waited
29 years for Jeff to come to my part of Australia and the performace is probably better
than anything else I'll ever see, Live, in my lifetime. This SACD can only be beaten by
the perfect Live performance. There are many tracks to choose from depending on your
mood, as it's 2 discs, but not very many songs.

3. Zero7 - Simply Things. Some vocal, this artist has done several albums to date.
This one, you have to listen to it and you either like this type of music, or not.
Definately can pass as a chill-out album.

I'm keeping this list as Americanised as possible, because most of my favourites
are from a Germal label which now no longer in syndicate. If anyone is seeking
the best is ambient, very out there, different music, contact me.

Yeah, I was YECH.

[Hyfi]

Yeah, I was YECH.

Good try but I don't think so.

[Hyfi]

Yeah this thread is old but so am I.

Three latest CDs in rotation would be

Marcus Miller Live and More
Buckethead Electric Tears
Adrian Belew Side Four Live

Hard to pick just those. I recently picked up some new, old , equipment and have been playing through my collection enjoying things all over again with better gear.

It is amazing what you get when you drop a Class A VAC tube pre amp that was $6500 new into the mix along with Synergistic Research cables.

That's not all you are, eh?

VAC makes some of the nicest gear out there, period. That's gotta be presenting the old stuff in a fresh, new light. Nice work.

I cringed while clicking the link not knowing where it would take me. I was thinking it was where we all posted pictures years ago. That certification still stands and I'm proud of it!

Yes the VAC pre amp is quite an eye opener. I don't even have the correct tubes in place yet. The new ones should be here any day now. The Counterpoint NPS-400 that came with the package has a blown channel. I need to get hold of the schematic somewhere in order to get it fixed, I'm also enjoying the Clearfield Continental speakers by Von Schwiekert in the mix while trying to sell them. I have yet to drop the Danes back in the mix since I set it all up.

The Synergistic cables are also quite a difference maker, specially the Signature2 speaker cables.

You're telling me. I'm still kicking myself on a daily basis for selling my Avatar SE. I will not rest until I get it back (or better yet a Renaissance 30/30).
