| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. @whipsaw I still play my original LPs, and recently picked up a little collection of CDs called TOP Original Album Series. Put out by Rhino, who are pretty reliable, but there is no information as to any remastering that may have been done. Wil... | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. @whipsaw +1 for TOP. The first few tracks on We Came To Play are also among my favourites. | |
| Holiday Habits and Pleasures I own 50+ Christmas CDs. The majority in the jazz vein, and they sit on the shelf waiting for Dec to come around. I would like to recommend two: Dwight Yoakam - Come On Christmas. Dwight gives his own take on many Christmas classics, including... | |

| Are you on or off? What say you? I must have a bit of Magpie in me. I don't need anything but I'm still attracted to shiny things. | |

| Jazz LP Audiophile Recommendations Miles Davis - In A Silent Way John Scofield - Hand Jive Double LP on Blue Note. Stunning sound. Both available from Amazon. | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system @skyscraper My suggestion would be to watch this video and then design a fantastic listening room. It could well be that $10,000 spent here is all you will need to fully enjoy your current system without spending any more. https://www.google.... | |
| what should I get to replace what I am planning to try The image is all in your mind. I suggest you close your eyes while listening and problem solved. You're welcome. Cheers. | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? @ditusa Sounds interesting. The best PC is no PC. So did you open up the amp cases and hard-wire directly from the wall box to the amp internally, or did you skip the wall box completely and run a continuous cable from you main panel directly in... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? @pindac I have read the manufacturing process for PC Triple C Wire and I'm lost as to the benefit. If I understand it correctly, they are repeatedly working the copper to end up with all the crystals aligned. And yet, with the OCC continuous ca... |
