OK time for Christmas Music
Navidad is different enough to add if you already have the English. I prefer it because I know Spanish and it has enough mix fer dems whom don't. I just finished Tiny Tim and God help me I still like it after eight years. 
Miles Davis CD first, now on LP
Jimbo3 ahah! This is my suspicion that I had not much hope for being true. As I said in the beginning, I am looking for you'se dat tried the comparison. I knew pontification would follow from this bunch. But I love the CD and want to get some advi... 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
Attaboy! Steer for the sound of the guns. 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
Mr. Frumkin has before been our good counsel. He takes the care of people that lesser people, like me, do not on our own. When he sounds a call to action, we best come running. Lugnut has peppered my threads many times and always with the care and...

And Jh2os do you like the Jaci en Espanol better? 
Miles Davis CD first, now on LP
Klman, you are stating exactly why I started this thread. It makes no sense to me that the LP could be better. And the reviewer is normally quite good. But you must not, frankly, have everything on vinyl if you don't have this one. I suppose it is...

Slipnot, which Messiah? 
Why do mass marketed CD's sound so crappy?
They are meant for your car, not your father's listening room. Or for your portable that has no capacity for stereo despite the two speakers and the word 'stereo'. They are meant for your I-pod or computer, even if no disc is present. It is not fo... 
One amp, four speaker cables
Tkanks ever so much. The connection is no problem because the amp has four pair. My ears like it, just was wondering if they were missing out. 
$800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path
Imagine how bad the state of our addic... er, hobby if there were fewer responses. It is not so important how badly we listen, nor how weakly we argue, nor even how poorly we understand. Rather it is how vigorous, how honest and how helpful we are... 
SACD/CD Question
Kr4, why dou you imagine I put in those first four words? I was looking for information, not for you to insinuate that I am too stupid to understand what I typed. Now you make me think that there is something to that story. 
Something similar to Mahler
I think Bruckner is far from Mahler, nor Sibelius nor even Williams. I go more to R. Strauss and Shostikovich. Mayhap even Stravinski. It is so hard to associate near and kindred. He did not get the deserved exposure in his time. Bernstein did a l... 
Cartridge rebuilds, whats your opinion?
So many cartriges, so little time. Why risk it? 
SACD/CD Question
Without any corroborating evidence, I must mention that in the print media I noticed a story that said these bi-discs would have intentional degradation of the sound quality of the old format, another said that the player would degrade the old sou... 
tube tuner and sources
I must raise my paw for the Mac as well, and add that I sent it in for refurbishing/recalibration right to them. Came back great! Also, I added an FM ariel to my roof to great effect, although it attracts cable and dish sellers. But it is worth th...
