| Not asking the best.... Boz Scaggs' "Loan Me a Dime" - the extended solo/jam that has amazing lead guitar, but equally amazing and subtle rhythm backing. I also agree with Al's citing of Light My Fire, and would add other Doors songs (eg Riders on the Storm). | |

| Five channel amp setup help - Parasound A51 I think you may have a problem with ventilation on your amp. Maybe a big problem. I'm not familiar with that particular amp but have owned other Parasound amps and they tend to run hot. I suggest you set it on a table and power it on for 30 minute... | |
| Jolida JD9: I think I over-bought. Alternatives? I have both the JD-9 and a Musical Fidelity X-LPS, and have previously owned many other low (They can be found for $160 +/- last time I checked, which is less than half what I think your JD-9 will sell for used. | |
| Jolida JD9: I think I over-bought. Alternatives? have you tried different gain settings on the dip switches? I find a lot of flexibility in the JD9, which is what I like about it. In addition to hi vs lo outputs, you can use diff gain settings, or tubes. | |
| The State of Jazz What are now known as Jazz Standards, were IMO pop songs of the day. Any good Jazz band can and does "Jazz up" pop songs. One that comes to mind is Mile Davis version of "Time After Time". I suspect there are many more . . . | |
| Bidding Frustration I disagree with you. Put yourself in the sellers shoes - and recognize buyers evaporate into thin air without notice all the time. If you wanted to lock up the seller you would need to get an agreement that you wanted a period to consider it and h... | |
| Bypass caps what value should I use. I have a question first - how do you bypass a cap with another cap? When you put them in parallel (ie like you would to bypass a resistor) you effectively add the capacitance (ie equal to the sum of the 2), which will reduce the highs. To accompli... | |
| How far from the back wall are your speakers? I have a pair of sttafs and like the best well into the room . . . As far as 6 ft from the wall. | |

| Is this amp worth selling? put it up for auction on ebay as is/for repair. You may be surprised how much it sells for. | |
| McCormack DNA-1 has a clank if this is a "mechanical" sound that comes from the amp itself and not through the speakers, it's not likely to be filter caps. Rather, it sounds like some screws may need tightening on the case or something similar. I think the DNA-1 likes to run... | |
| Ambient favorites I've always been an Eno fan, but in the past 2 years have really expanded my Ambient catalog. Some of my favorite artists:Eno - he has a lot out - everything in his catalog is worth having and most is even better than "Music for Airports"Harold Bu... | |

| Do Rega arms work well with LP12s? I've had a few variants of the Rega arm and 2 Linn Ittoks. I would take the Ittok every day over the Regas. The Ittok is far far easier to set up than the Rega. That said, the Rega is a great arm and I can't see why it won't work on an LP12. I jus... |
