| Luxman L505u . . . why not? ByegollyLFD: I had one for three years with no problems. Sold it this year for 80 percent of what I paid. Replacing it with Luxman. | |
| Music and politics OzzyThere is a photo on the cover on the new Woodie Guthrie box set that shows him in a coffee shop with a sticker on his guitar that says "This guitar kills facists".I totally disagree that the audience should dictate the terms that an artist fol... | |
| Best Tributes, Covers, Dedications Try The Clash "Policeman" | |
| Best Tributes, Covers, Dedications Covers: Second Patti's "Twelve." I also like Al Green's classic cover of the Beatle's "I want to hold your hand." Better than the original. I have about 45 to 60 other cover versions. Songs that stand out include The Replacements "Another Girl, An... | |
| Rolling Stone top 100 Guitarists - Howe/Van Halen There are many "lost" players that Rolling Stone would miss. I think Skunk Baxter is very under-rated, especially his ground breaking work with Steely Dan. Amazing body of varied sounds and styles. Can't wait to hear his new solo album coming out.... | |
| CDs with heavy, fast bass and/or long drum solos A lot of good music was released in 1982 to 1984 that has these characteristics. Shadorne mentions Frankie. Second that. I also like the remixes done for Bruce Springsteen in 1984 for "Born in the USA" by Arthur Baker. Also, the 1982 dance mixes o... | |

| any new Beatle fans because of the remasters? Truthfully, I had not listened to them in over a decade. I was curious to rehear the mono mixes when the set was announced. I visited Vegas last year and was amazed at the Love show and what a great job George Martin and his son did in putting tog... | |
| So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets? I have deep dived the mono box set and the stereo version of Abbey Road. I am very impressed with the remastering, end to end. The earlier work has never sounded better, IMHO. The mono mixes throw a wonderful soundstage, and really sound great on ... | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? My son lives in Tokyo and brought me back the N100, which are 40% cheaper there. Have had no problems so far. I mostly listen to it on headphones. | |
| Garrard 301 or 401? FYI My dad had a 301 for close to four decades. Amazing product, matched to a McIntosh 275. | |
| Harbeth P3ESR /amplification Luxman N100 tube amp or LFD ss. | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? KizaI played the Class AB amp at 100 watts (505), the 20 watt N100 Neoclassico tube amp, and Class A 20 watt (I believe it was model 550). I did not preview the 590.I auditioned a wide variety of speakers as well. These included ATC 11s and 19s, H... |
