He is right. Although I prefer to now listen to the new formats when possible, the first disc I thought of was The Body Acoustic, which I picked up from audiophile record producer David Chesky at the Consumer Electronics Show this past January. http://www.audiorevolution.com/music/revs/david_chesky.html Could you use a new set of 5.1 speakers?

Big Brother and the Holding Company, the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Quicksilver Messenger Service were the first bands to make it from San Francisco. These were the bands that helped develop what would become known as the San Francisco sound and get it exposed to a national audience. Long stretches of music intertwined with a liquid light show mixed with large doses of the LSD experience would go a long way in this new art form called psychedelic rock. http://www.audiorevolution.com/dvd/revs/big_brotherp1.html Please Visit This Week's Sponsor's Links http://www.xhifi.com http://www.usedcable.com http://www.richardgrayspowercompany.com http://www.martinlogan.com If you have AOL 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 or an email client that supports html emails and you'd like to switch to our full color email updates in the future, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject "html email" in the subject header.
