| Johnny Smith recordings thanks for the response. I'll look for the Mosaic discs. Maybe the material from Moon Over Vermont will be on it and sound better. | |
| Do you enjoy the sound at your local Theater Plex? Way too loud. I frequently ask the manager to turn down the volume at local theaters. Sometimes they actually do it, and I make it a point to thank them later. Once, I was told that, for IMAX productions, there is no local control over sound, incl... | |
| Bit-perfect backups Thanks, folks. | |
| Audio Research preamp ratings & sound differences My first AR preamp was the LS3B, a wonderful, pure sounding unit and built like a tank. Next, I bought a used SP14 and found it's sound to be, overall, a little less forward and otherwise very much like the LS3B (I didn't use the phono stage). Ult... | |
| best floor in listening room Thanks for the insights, and counseling, | |
| best floor in listening room Ah, I think I get it. It's easier to change the system than the wife. Many good monitors out there. Thanks, folks. | |

Also within a few blocks, is Soundings, which was showing Vienna Acoustics The Music speakers last time ... | |
| So long, Paul Revere and Mike Auldrige oops, didn't know of Mike's earlier passing. Saw him with Chesapeake and was mightily impressed. | |
| RMAF - Loudspeakers that you don't want to miss I'll be interested in the Raidho speakers, after reading glowing reviews. | |
| Diminishing Interest in POP. I hate earworms My wife swears that the universal antidote to any earworm is to sing "Bang a Gong". Maybe, but the cure will kill you! | |
| Anyone going to RMAF this year? I didn't check with the head of the household....I wonder if she'll notice I'm missing for a couple days.. | |
| Who believes that Robert Plant Mmm, spent a lot of hours with Ian Gillan and Burton Cummings. And let's not forget the ladies. Lydia Pence, anyone? | |
| I would love some suggestions on great acoustic... You didn't specify a genre, so this list is a little far-ranging, but they're all marvelous.Earl Klugh (Solo Guitar and Handpicked are good choices)Laurence Juber (take your pick, Guitarist is good)Joe Pass (Songs for Ellen)Henry Mancini -Pink Gui... | |
| The Loss of a Jazz Hero - Joe Sample I recall hearing the Crusaders' "Scratch" for the first time at a friend's house and running right out for a copy. My last Joe Sample disc was "Carmel" in the 70's, but I got a lot of pleasure from Joe over the years. Sad news. | |
| Need some recommendations - hard driving big band There are more knowledgeable folks on this site than me, but I recommend the Buddy Rich Big Band or Woody Herman's Thundering Herd. If you want driving music that bridges rock and big band, you might try Chase "Pure Music". |
