| The first "audiophile"? don't wanna' quarrel with albert, but i think the first audiophile was noah. he loaded onto the ark not just all of god's creatures, two-by-two, but a pair of very early altec-lansing's. and thus did he beget stereo, tho he had not software to app... | |
| Who R U? kjg: tho you've been posting for a goodly time, i've not gotten acquainted with you before. great to hear your story. i do hope you find success and good fortune in the coming months. -kelly | |
| Who R U? thedautch: good to have you among us. your story is another exemplar of timing being everything. i feel for you, having been a law school graduate a mere 32 years ago. i was a "fed" lawyer for 13 years (FTC). since joining the dark side of the for... | |
| Looking for Chinese drums CDs Jbls8r: you have a source for your selection? i haven't been able to find it on the 'net, yet. -kelly | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC-1 MkII: XLR better?? ernie: don't mean to be a smartass here, but the only way to know is to try. i'd believed for several years that balanced ic's sounded better than single-ended, 'til i helped a buddy in ri pick between nordost spm and quatro fil with xlr and rca t... | |
| Looking for Chinese drums CDs aaronm: the cd noted by bigjim (now titled "favorite chinese instrumentals" and on xrcd) can be found at: http://www.fimpression.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=FIMXRCD019-kelly | |
| Looking for Chinese drums CDs aaronm: you may be looking for "master of chinese percussion." it's on naxos (no. 8-225942). there's one piece from this recording on the burmester sampler (vofürings) cd iii.-kellyps- i've just found another disc on naxos with the same artist, yi... | |
| BEST CARTRIDGE FOR ROCK AND METAL? david: you ought to give the benz h2 a try. it has the high output you need (2.5mV) and sounds wonderful with any genre (i think of it as a "baby" ruby2 with easier-to-handle output). it can be had for $800 with trade-in. -kelly | |
| Roger Waters... chriskh: i do have a gold cd of "amused to death" and thought i had bought it from the dcc distributor at ces a few years ago. i've just now pulled it from my shelves. the back cover indicates it's from columbia/legacy/master sound and was mastere... | |
| RADIO KAOS by Roger Waters fatparrot: first, i'd love to see you post on the "who r u" thread, just to tell us how your screen name was derived. second, i've never seen an alternative to the standard cd of "radio kaos." there may be a japanese pressing, tho i've not found o... | |
| How often do you listen to live music? detlof: i average maybe 3 concerts/performances per month. tho i'm about your age, most of the concerts i attend are in the rock genre. the symphonic concert hall in denver is, unfortunately, modeled after berlin's auditorium-in-the-round. the aco... | |
| Best all Canadian system on king, on you huskies! sorry, bad joke. actually, i think you certainly can put together an all-canuck audio sytsem that is of quite high quality. you should note, however, that oracle also makes some sexy lookin' cd transports, too. -kelly | |
| Roger Waters... david: c'mon mon, please don't disappoint your fellow vinyl devotee's. like albert, i have a sealed uk "amused to death" as a backup. maybe two. sure, it''ll cost ya' but maybe you have something i covet for trade? -kelly | |
| Roger Waters... if "amused to death" is the album in question, it is on 4 vinyl sides, not just 2. the original english lp pressing blows away all of the cd versions i own (original usa, dcc and japanese). -kelly | |
| Better Quality CD's skidman: don't overlook some of the smaller labels, whose sound is consistently higher than average. for example, oh boy!, 4ad, ryko, rhino (especially re-issues), secretly canadian, acoustic disc and redhouse, to name but a few. i would also look... |
