Hi Scottie,
Nice looking system you have there.
We combine 2-channel with home theatre in one, and soon two, of our systems. And not just because of very real space and economic contraints... I really love watching movies with audiophile quality sound.
But... I have a question. You have a very nice list (more than one actually) of your favorite Asian musicians. I would love to be able to get some CDs of some Asian music, instead of just hearing this kind of music as soundtracks in Hong Kong martial arts movies...
However, the only website I found that sells the CDs of the musicians you list is YesAsia.com - very much like Amazon.com, and in English which is nice for Asian-language challenged people like me - but they do not have any music clips (MP3 or RealAudio or something) of sections of the songs on the CD so that I can hear if I like the particular artist/CD or not.
I have become addicted to hearing what parts of the songs sound like on Amazon.com (and using the Amazon player, one can set it going and it will automatically play about 1 minute of every song on a CD, which is a nice way to get a feel for an entire CD - and a way to learn a lot about all the music out there).
Actually, I think Amazon in Japan (amazon.co.jp) also has some of these CDs but the langauge is in Japanese and anyway they do not appear to have music clips of the songs either.
So, finally..., my actual question is (yes, I really have one and I... am.. about.. to... ask...it :-): is there a website that has music clips of the songs of these artists somewhere online?
Thanks! and good luck with your system building,
-Mike
