Jeff Beck "performing this week" OMG
I have a Pioneer PDR-19, a stand-alone CD recorder. It functions exactly as cassette recorders do, it will record any source that's part of the system. Once the CD's recorded, I can easily transfer thru my computer to my Ipod. 
Garrott P77 MM Cartridge
Back in the day I used a P77 on my Mapleknoll (the original wooden beast!) and have fond memories of it. Extremely musical. Definetely an overachiever. 
What makes a record collection "great"?
This thread reminded me of an old friend I used to have. The dude ran a small equipment/record store in Butler, PA. We'd go back to his (large) home and the man literally had records EVERYWHERE! Living room, dining room, den, garage...Thousands an... 
Jeff Beck "performing this week" OMG
I "brainfarted" when ordering this. Went for a great low price on Ebay but realized I'd ordered the CD instead of the DVD!! Don't get me wrong, the CD is killa, but truth be told, my intention was to record a CD from the DVD. Just last night I'm f... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Johnny & Edgar Winter - 'Together' - LiveRecorded in '76, this was the Winter Bros. at their peak. I was a HUGE fan back in the day (saw Edgar 9 times! 5 with White Trash. Johnny 4 times w/Derringer). They were like a R&R gypsy tribe back ... 
A CD platyer that is s sonic match to an LP12?
My Arcam FMJ CD23T has a very similar sonic signature to my Linn LP12/Ittok IV/Lingo. Can be had for less than 1K these days. For redbook it's one of the best! 
Any opinions on John McLaughlins last album?
Regardless of how 'cold' I feel he's been playing lately, I'm going to see him and Chick Corea on the 29th, can't wait!!!;) 
Any opinions on John McLaughlins last album?
JM is a virtuoso but his music is cold. Surprising since the man's spirituality has always been a factor in his music. The music lacks soul. Perhaps this is only my anglo-american perspective but this my opinion. The only time the record gets me g... 
Stevie Wonder-As
Nice to see all the love for Stevie but I have a question. The majority of the posts understandably all refer to Stevie in the past tense, I mentioned Stevie's latest, 'A Time 2 Love', and NO ONE else has spoke about it. Why not? If you dig Stevie... 
Mahavishnu Orchestra fans...?
Another solid Fusion website is Audiophileimports.com.(AI) Checked 'em out yesterday and saw the new Live Return To Forever for sale as well as the new Corea/McLaughlin Live! Sometimes AbstractLogix AND AI offer exclusive releases, for instance, f... 
Stevie Wonder-As
I've been a fan of Stevie the Wonder Man for decades. Hell, the 1st time I saw him he played 2nd billing to the Stones at the garden (Ya-Ya period!). Forgetting his amazing longevity, voice, virtuosity, and performing skills, I believe decades fro... 
Linn LP-12 still competitive with the very best?
Owned mine since '90. I've had it "tuned up" once in '03, which, unless you're truly a 'hands-on' person, should be done on ANY TT older than a decade. My Linn has never failed me and has always sounded great. Maybe I lucked out and bought the onl... 
Mahavishnu Orchestra fans...?
Here's a tip...when you find something you're interested in, do yourself a favor and chk ebay & azon before buying, I've saved quite a bit by doing this. Obviously, this doesn't pertain ONLY to Fusion!;) F'instance, I bet you could find Cab 4 ... 
Mahavishnu Orchestra fans...?
BTW - While you're feelin' the fever, I'd also strongly recommend 'Jing Chi'- 3D. Their 3rd release is very very strong. The band's made up of Robben Ford - gtr, Jimmy Haslip - Bass, and Vinnie Colauita - drums. With occasional guests sprinkled he... 
Mahavishnu Orchestra fans...?
"Chazro...Cab...I read that Cab 4 is really their 3rd release. Some sort of musician joke on their part. According to Azon... Self titled, Cab 2, and now Cab 4. I can't find a third release."That's why I wrote "NO 3" originally, as in, there was n...
