Jul 25, 2001	Placette Passive Pre Has anyone compared the Placette (passive) to the FT Audio passive preamp which retails for approx. $500? The feedback that I keep seeing on the FT Audio product is that it maintains output at the frequency extremes (mainly the bass).
Jul 25, 2001	Music you might have missed Lak & BlBloom: I just picked up the Beaters Request CD a few weeks ago. Used to see them quite a lot in LA when I first moved out here. Now I am looking for "Jack Mack and the Heart Attack's" CD's.
Jul 25, 2001	Placebo Effect...a good thing? Hueske: I enjoyed reading your post very much. No comments though (too tired to "pontunacate":-), right now. I wish you the best of times in your continuing education and suspect that (based on your post) you may end up breaking some new ground in...

Jul 23, 2001	Marantz Professional CDR-500? Doc: If you don't mind, what was your previous player? I seem to recall that you picked up the Marantz for around $600 and this might be a good choice for people who are looking for a player period as they would also get a CDR with the deal to mak...

Jul 23, 2001	Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? What a shame. I assume that at 14 years old he was at his prime hearing age.
Jul 23, 2001	How Do You Clean Your CD's? Sedond: There is a similar product that is made for fiberglass boats. I have never made the trip to South of LA to pick up another bottle (to try on CD's). I used it for years on my wife's plastic snowdome collection and the stuff would polish out...
Jul 23, 2001	Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? My wife has started using the system more, when I am out (which is a good thing). I think that she was afraid of the tube amp in the beginning, but I told her that if anything goes wrong, we will just have it repaired, just like anything else. The...

Jul 23, 2001	Great Percussion Recordings For modern Basque music there is "Kepa Junkera, Bibao" a two CD set on Alula records. These are very good recordings somehwhat on the "hot" side. I would estimate that there are at least 20 different percussive instruments used/played on this albu...
