Best vinyl stereo press of Hendrix - Experienced?
'First Rays Of The New Rising Sun' - Had Hendrix lived, this would've been considered his greatest record, bar none. He died, and the decision was made to release it as 2 separate records; 'Cry Of Love' & 'Rainbow Bridge'. While both of the re... 
USB Cards to Replace Compact Discs?
Seems like I heard about this idea a looong time ago. It'll probably be a feasible reality a looong time from now. 
What is Musicality?
Musicality is SO subjective. Sabai, you've made some interesting points and the beauty of all this is....when your new components arrive, yr wife MIGHT not think them to be as involving as yr current gear. But this doesn't change one iota of HER i... 
Music Reference RM-4 and Sumiko Blue Point 2
Not sure why you're having this problem. I ran a low-output Ortofon thru my MR RM4 yrs ago and never had a problem with volume. The pre-amp is a killa! I suggest you go to this website where Music Reference has it's own page and Roger Modjeski oft... 
What makes a Cd player a Great cd player
Many have told you to concentrate on upgrading the rest of yr system and perhaps this is true BUT....since you asked, I would strongly suggest that when $ permits, you invest in a great USED CD player, many of which you can find right here at A'go... 
Any smooth jazz fans out there?
"BTW, to this day, some of my favorite work by Liebman is from the late sixties, during his stint with Elvin Jones. If you haven't, check out "Dear John C." Also on the session was a 19 year old Steve Grossman; killing it!"I had that record! And I... 
Cannonball Adderley's "Somethin Else"... Mono?
"I think "Somethin Else" is right up there with "Kind of Blue".I remember when I 1st bought my vinyl copy at a stereo shop in Pittsburg, the owner said to me; "'Something Else' is like 'Kind Of Blue' Pt. II'. The fact is, it's really not. Similar ... 
Worst Rock Band Ever !!!!
"If Jimmy Page is so great, why does he get involved with so many sucky gigs?" Couldn't agree more! This supposed 'guitar god' has NEVER sounded acceptable anywhere except with Led Zeppelin.

Audiophile LOD Cable for iPod
I found an Iport FS2 on ebay for less than 50 bucks, I later bought a remote for less than $20. You will need a separate DAC to run it through your system (I may be wrong, but I think all these Ipod docks need one). I had an MSB Link II sitting un... 
Any smooth jazz fans out there?
Hate it!!! That said, paraphrasing the Duke; "there's only 2 types of music, good & bad". While most music that could be considered 'smooth jazz' is really just instrumental pop, there are exceptions. The OP listed Larry Carlton, Lee Ritenour,... 
Three best audiophile CD/LP in your collection
Not trying to dampen anyones' enthusiasm, but JATP is a classic version of an 'audiophile' record that SOUNDS great, but the music is C-list at best. When I think of all the fine recordings one can buy for $80 (ANY of the Jazz recordings already m...

Landau, Ford, Haslip, & Novak - Renegade CreationIf this was released back in the day, the band would be touted as a super-group! Good old-fashioned dual gtr blues rock ala The Allmans or Johnny Winter And. Michael Landau's a guitarists guitar...
