I was able to see Case/Lang/Veirs in concert. Great album and great show.
My mainstay was "classic rock" but tired of it and started listening to stuff I used to pooh-pooh decades ago. Got kind of interested in singer/songwriters so folk genres & country genres were added to the menu.
I found listening to stuff I didn't think I liked was a good diversion. Even developed a tollerance for Tennessee Ernie Ford.
There sure are lots of recordings out there I've never heard before. I figure that someone must have liked them otherwise those recordings wouldn't exist so why not listen to some?
Of course he could sing. The question is, do you like what he sang. For me the answer is no.
Epica! I love Epica.
I think you're in the wrong threadI'm not fond of systems using satellites and a subwoofer even though I own one myself. The bass just isn't natural sounding. Any thing I would recommend how ever is going to be larger in physical size taking up more floor space. I'll make two recommendations on either side of the listening spectrum. First is the Klipsch Forte III.. A fairly efficient horn loaded system that will increase your dynamic spectrum by at one or possibly two Magnitudes. For better transients and increased definition something from Magnepan. You'll have to give up the false overly exaggerated bass of the subwoofer for a new window of musical reproduction. In either case you will have go in for an audition, but I would hope the dealer would allow you to demo either in your home.
For me my sound systems over the years have been long term investments. I 'm willing to buy the best I can afford at the time and keep it for awhile before having to up grade again. My TT is over 40 years old. MY FM tuners are very close to 40 Years old. My Stereo Pre-amp is 16 years old. One of my amps is 48 years old, the others 8 to 10 years. Yet my HT processors is only two years old, and my Stereo cartridge is only a few yeas old. My Pre-pre-amp is less than two years old. If I win the lottery or the right deal comes along I may up grade speakers.

Tina Guo.Please. Can anyone point me to anything unique and different? The monotony of music seems to be getting to me lately. Same old lyrics, same old chords, same old genres... Is there anyone out there coming up with anything even slightly original these days? I have made it to the ends of Spotify searching with little luck. Am I just losing my love for music? I don't think so, I still play every day. But when it comes time to listen, I can't find anything new and interesting enough to keep my attention. Suggestions more than appreciated.
