MY name is Steve and I live just over the hiil from Ascend Acoustics in Sun City, which explains my screen name which I use here because I use it on other sites (Poker, which makes players shake in their boots because they think I'm from Las Vegas) and it just makes it simpler for me.

I have had my Sierra One's for over three years now and have averaged about 15 hours of listening time a week since then. They might be broken in now lol.

Anyway about a month ago I got in a huff about something and I wanted awnsers and I wanted them now, so I thought of you all. The trouble was it was a friday night when I joined in here and it took several days to finalize. By that time it didn't seem to matter any more. But here I am anyway and I will redress my dilemma in the appropriate forum, if there is one.

I will listen to anything or anyone I think has quality or talent which pretty much leaves neuvo country and rap out. Oh well, my loss.

what sounds good on my Sierra 1's (regardles of tastes) :
Jaz Colemans ode to The Doors in Chinese musical scale (sleep inducing but much better than you'd think)
Dave Brubeck Quintet's Take five (Paul Desmonds alto sax is transperent)
Red Hot Chili Peppers best of ( move the Sierras back)
2001 music based on the movie but not the mainstream one (lost the jewelcase)
Jean Michelle Jarre (Avant Garde I guess)
B-Tribe spirtual spirtual
Starbucks 40th anniversary cd's ( the engineers did a great job with the analog sound of the older music)
John Mayer Born and raised
Jessie Cook's best of
Bob Dylan's Modern Times

what sounds bad: Adele 21 (this is a big dissapointment and the reason I am here)
Eric Clapton and Wynton Marselis (in it for the money I guess)


what I am listening to now: Bonny Raitt's Slipstream (I can't get enough of this cd, great covers but compression problems on the second Dylan tune)
Stevie Ray Vaugn's best of (great music, bad recording)
Nils Laufgren's What the Funk (very versatile guitarist)
The Beach Boys's That's Why God Made The Radio ( As a native southern Californian a heartbreaking trip down the PCH)

my favorite music: a man or woman and their guitar (truly hand made music)
