Paulwp, these little subcompartments of music don't hold for very long, do they? You bet, in spite of the name, and among other bands, the Charlie Daniels Band, Marshall Tucker Band, The Outlaws, and early Eagles all defined what we called "Countr... 
Using cheap CD-R disc on Audio recorder
Ramstl, have you found a particular brand of CDR, ("Digital Audio" type for use in a consumer grade machine,) to be a better performer than another? I have tried Sony, Maxcell, and Nashua, so far, and I cannot tell a difference. The Nashua brand i...

You knew an old redneck like me would have to chime in. C/W music, (and we do have to make the distinction from the “old” stuff compared to what they call “country” today,) has had some great voices and songwriters. Today’s country, except for a f... 
Best and Worst customer service?
Just recieved a reply from Tascam today, 1-31-2001, for an email sent on 10-23-2000 ref. the performance of the A-D converter in their professional recorders. 9 weeks later? Too bad, I bought a Pioneer instead. No wonder some of these guys don't m... 
Using cheap CD-R disc on Audio recorder
I should report that all the digital CD-R "Digital Audio" designated discs I have made all play, without fail, on my Pioneer DV-525 DVD player into a Bel Canto DAC1. I would also like to say, in the spirit of this site in the "good old days," my P... 
Using cheap CD-R disc on Audio recorder
I'm not sure of the question, but at Staples you can get the Nashua brand CD-R (Digital Audio) for something like $35. There are no jewel boxes at that price, but cost/cd is 70 cents! With the jewel boxes, a 10 pack is about $11.50. That's pretty ... 
Digital Smear???
I am suspicious that this post is a set up. Albundy? Anyway, I think we all need to consider that local brick and mortar businesses pay taxes and employ people within their community. This counts for something! Those of you who don't have your own... 
CD Recorders--Audio vs. Music Stores
Dar, I just purchased a Pioneer PDR-W839 for $399 on ebay. The design looks very close to the JVC that was reviewed and compared to the Marantz pro model in Stereopyle last month. Their consensus was that digital to digital the "consumer" model wa... 
best cd player used under 2k.
I'm with Megasam. As far as the Bel Canto DAC1, look up past posts. It has been covered well and I left several good links to online reviews that speak to the pros of these outboard dacs.Good luck. 
Best Zappa album
Dude, the crux of the biscuit is the Apostrophe. 
Cleaning cd players
The Kimwipe EX-L I mentioned above is a tissue that comes 280 to a box. Dispenses like Kleenex. 
Cleaning cd players
I don't know if it is the best way, but I use the Parasound PerfectImage 20/20 which is a cd disc with a little brush surface that runs for about 15 seconds on your transport. I don't use it very often, though. As far as cleaning the discs themsel...

If you could remaster three cd's...
