| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? Worst sound system--Drive By Truckers in a club type venue. Lots of energy, but could not understand a single word they were singing.Since the lyrics are a big component of their package, that was kind of disappointing. Worst effort--B.B. King, ci... | |
| CD player reliability.... good and bad. When I bought the Luxman DZ 122, circa early 1990s, the shop told me that Sony or Philips made just about all the mechanisms, lasers, and chips for CD players on the market at that time, including a lot of the pricier esoteric players. I believe... | |

| CD player reliability.... good and bad. I've had 4 CD players in last 33 years. First was a Denon, back in days when they rated them by "oversampling." 2X, 4X, etc. It played beautifully, but crapped out early. I was young and moved several times, which probably did not help. Second w... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Some danger of repeating a name when the thread is 8 pp. long, but I did not see this so far.Lee Moses, Time and Place. | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Townes Van Zandt, Live at the Old Quarter, Houston, Tx 1973.Obscure? Maybe . . . Certainly didn't sell like Abbey Roads or Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.I have it on CD but expect vinyl would sound decent if you could find it. Kind of a spare arrange... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Thanks; Cincinnati is kind of lucky to have two fairly large record stores. George Winston kind of a recent discovery for me, nice music for an evening fire with the dogs. Wish I had joined this forum years ago. | |

| JC3+ phono preamp Not yet 100% sure I flipped a toggle the wrong way. I knew which way they were supposed to be oriented, and I set the adjacent impedance knob as carefully as I could on each channel. When I was putting it in the shipping bag to transport it to my... | |
| JC3+ phono preamp Well, it works fine on the receiver at my office. I have to keep the volume low-ish, but the balance seems better, sounds quite good at low levels (Thorens TD 280 (J & R Music World, class of '97?/ Sumiko Blue Point/ Yamaha R-S300 receiver)... | |
| JC3+ phono preamp Hoping to sell the 73 year old house, get a newer place with less accumulated dust and no dimmers.But for now, I am going to check it with another newer Yamaha receiver . The old Yamaha at home is much better sounding piece of equipment, but al... | |
| JC3+ phono preamp .BTW, my current Sumiko Blackbird is the low output version. I get your point though, I've run the Sumiko Blue Point (2.5 Mv appox.?) on the MM input. It actually sounded good on either. You had to be conservative with the volume knob if you r... | |
| JC3+ phono preamp Thanks.The auxiliary was used for same turntable, same integrated amp, with a lower end Parasound ZPhono pre, pretty consistent use over a couple years.This weekend, I also went through the tuner line in connection, just to double check. Same is... |
