Long lost songs
Ghosthouse, I have heard that recording hundreds of times but don't recall ever hearing of William DeVaughn. Great memories. Sound a lot better today than it did on the bus in high school. 
Long lost songs
Could anyone help me find Gary White doing his own composition "Long, Long Time", the song made popular by Linda Ronstadt? 
Music you Hated but now Love
Zimwig, Thanks!!!! I have been searching for a particular Greg Brown song for years after hearing it just once on the radio. Found it on the Red House site. "'Cept You and Me, Babe" on Covenant. I always liked Phish's "Bouncing Round the Room", so... 
Need Small Bookshelf Speakers With a Big Sound
I have a pair of Genesis Physics model 7s sitting in the basement because my wife thinks they are too big. They have some of the best tweeters I've ever heard. PSB Imagine XBs are the largest she would let me get. Thank goodness for the man cave w... 
Looking to buy floor standing speakers in $1000 per speaker range.
I would give odds that if you spend $1,000 on new speakers, you will be upgrading from the NAD pretty soon. There are a lot of great speakers out there that would sound good with the 7225 PE, but it does limit your choices. I think you could get a... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
How exactly does one load a cartridge at 100kOhms? 
OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby)
Point of order, Ladies and Gents. Have I committed a faux pas by 'horning-in' on wcc10's thread. I new to forums and don't have all the etiquette down.If,so; all apologies.  
OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby)
Got to say though, I am finished buying electronics on eBay. Too many unfortunate experiences like "new" components delivered with missing parts just to name one.I am very partial to speakers with a natural finish, Cherry, etc.  Well, I guess y... 
Oracle Alexandria + Premier MMT = ?????
If youse guys/gals are still out there, can anyone recommend any tweaks for this rig? I have the same one and some upgradeitis. Is the hard acrylic mat "better" than the Groove Isolator, as Oracle claims? Any other ideas. I'm using a Denon DL-301 ... 
Best Turntable for the Price - Linn Basik
I've read elsewhere that it's best to skip the Akito, and agree that an Ittok is not worth the cost on a Basik. I am not seeking advice for what not to buy. ;^) I'd love to find a gently used Basik Plus, Jelco SA-250 ST, or AudioQuest/Oracle PT6. ...

"No, I do not have any headphones. But that is a good idea to try! Thanks."  For $250 the NAD Viso HP50 are pretty damn good. I think they are essentially the same as the PSB M4U 1, but more comfortable. Both designed by Paul Barton. Once you try ...

wcc10, I'm surprised the discussion seems to focus on the sources and pre. Maybe the B&Ws are nor a good match for the rest of your components and/or room. Do you have a good set of headphones? If they solve your problem it is not the source c...

Leotis: " For the price you will never find a better rig than the 103 IMHO. But the rest of the links in the chain are crucial."Do you think the 103 sounds better than the 95 and 85SE; or is it just the value? Is there any difference in DSD to PC... 
What is going on? No-one buys good stuff priced right.
Please pretend you never read my previous post. (most of you won't have to pretend)I, too am outraged and saddened that no one is buying this perfectly wonderful gear. It is age discrimination, just as plain as the nose on my face, and it sickens ...
