| Whats playing on your system today? King of Swing volume 1. Benny Goodman, Harry James, Lionel Hampton, Gene Krupa, Teddy Wilson. Columbia mono. Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme. Simon and Garfunkel. Columbia stereo first press. Both most impressive. | |

| Your first component that was "special" Rega Planar 2 with a Dynavector Ruby 23MR. Opened my ears right up, that combo did. | |
| MAC's MP100 Phono Pre-amp While the C2300 has one of the best phono sections ever made (both MC and MM, BTW), it took forever to warm up. Like 3 hours. By the time it was ready to rock, I was ready to roll... right into bed. I just don't have enough free time to deal wi... | |
| MAC's MP100 Phono Pre-amp You don't say what you have for a table/arm/cartridge but FWIW, I ran a C2300 with the MC302. It was an absolutely outstanding combination in my application. In many ways, I wish I still had the 2300 in my system, but I had to compromise somewhe... | |

| Master of Mastering Thanks for sharing that! Truly happy listening. | |
| Soundtracks that you listen all the way through and it's all great. Eclectic and in no particular order: Amadeus, Clockwork Orange, Fiddlier on the Roof (Broadway version w/Zero Mostel), White Christmas. | |
| Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ? Give Stick Men a try. Not so many of the acoustic tones, but the progressions, orchestrations and energy are in the same league, IMHO.Happy listening! | |
| How many will listen to tape and vinyl in the next century? This may not be the jesting question you could suppose. I presently live in Milan Township, OH. For those of you who don't recognize that name, it's the birthplace of Thomas Edison. Guess how many 100+ year old Edison cylinders are still played... | |
| Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp?? Here's a SS unit that's well reviewed and within your budget: https://www.audiogon.com/listings/phono-sutherland-20-20-mc-mm-phono-pre-solid-state-quite-dynamic-w... I looked at it very hard and was favorably impressed before I decided to go wit... | |
| Greatest song titles.. Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict. Pink Floyd. | |
| THE most sonically dissappointing (lp) you own of great music? Steely Dan Katy Lied. Have a mid-80s reissue, a mid-90s CD and the MFSL. They are all awful. Flat, lifeless and totally disappointing. | |
| Obscure bands Forgot a couple from my earlier post: Be Bop Deluxe and Lil' Georgie and the Shufflin' Hungarians. BBD was semi-popular back in the day, but I understand that Bill Nelson was a pain and things fell apart.Lil' Georgie was a Northeast / Mid-Atlant... | |
| Help Picking a turntable Very solid advice by mofi, lowrider & sbank above. With hardware, I prefer Sota and Rega along with Ortofon & Dynavector, but hardware suggestions are irrelevant at this point. You have a tasty ARC rig that is capable of revealing very m... |
