| sometimes you just need to tap your toes Ears, I meant to say that all the cd versions of 70's ZZ Top are radically different in sound mix from the vinyl we bought in those days. The producer, Bill Ham, I believe, says the remix is closer to the sound they wanted at the time. With all du... | |
| sometimes you just need to tap your toes Ears, I had the same kind of equipment. Anything I had, I bought with my own meager salary. In 1977 I bought a JVC amp and turntable (bottom of the line I'm sure) and some Infinity Qb's with the EMIT tweeters as the shop had a payment plan! I actu... | |

| Dealer Bias: Do They Really Add Value? You sound like the kind of customer a good dealer would love. I define a "good" dealer as one who allows home trials and does not discourage you from your preferences as you find them in your listening environment. This is, I fear, becoming harder... | |
