| Has anyone had a laser replaced in a Audio Research CD-3 MKII autospec: Guessing you're way ahead of the curve on proper workstation grounding & hopefully the laser will also include a precaution note but they can be finicky buggers if you're not careful, especially for the desoldering. | |

| Cover songs that are better than the originals. Tom Waits; a long list of course but here's a couple.Temptation; by Diana KrallInvitation to the Blues; by Jennifer Warnes | |
| Fairy Tales by Radka Toneff It's been many years since my last listen too & I'm planning on it later today. "Imported by: Audio Advancements" Some old CD's get tucked away for extra safe keeping like a time capsule. | |
| Magic Moments in listening What a great thread. For me too there have been magical moments suspended in time. Eva's live track of "People Get ready" is perhaps my all time favorite. | |
| Patricia Barber, Cafe Blue "un-mastered" I just picked up UN-mastered & on my system, redbook only, I enjoy it much more than the original Premonition CD. I find the original CD technically interesting but artificial to the point of boredom whereas UN just pulls me into the music &am... | |

| DAC or CD Player. Help! rsaLike others have said, everything matters. For a beginner I recommend a cd player that also serves as a dac - you eliminate the synergy variables, for the most part, & it allows a foray into decent computer audio. An upside is that you can ... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Johnny Clegg & Savuka - Cruel, Crazy, Beautiful World | |
| Industry Participants I agree that industry participants have a potential for placing economic self interest first. I agree that having the "Industry Participant" designation would be a good thing. | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps For a change of pace try Rosanne Cash's "The Real Me" from her King's record Shop. Like knghifi I've enjoyed Susannah mcCorkle - really like her album "No More Blues" - sure sad that she left us so young. I recently discovered Marlene Ver Planck -... | |
| Marantz SA11S3 Marantz is designed for & actually specs better w/ standard phono connects. Unless you have a long run between them stay with rca's. | |
| The Distortion of Sound I don't look at a lot of album reviews but if I were to recommend an album or for that matter do a published review I can't imagine not calling the DR Smasher's out - anything less than an 11 just sounds terrible to me. I just don't care how good ... |
