| Frustrated with Bonamassa Live CDs Sadly, you are experiencing the reality of modern recordings. We first saw Joey Bonamassa when he was 12 years old at the Beginning II in Fremont NY during one of his dad's gigs. We have Driving Towards the Daylight on CD along with the Albert Hal... | |
| Help me improve Rega P2 A cartridge will make the biggest single difference. Second the 2M Red or perhaps Blue; excellent values. Also worthwhile would be a good cartridge protractor and a large, strong bench magnifier. Pro-Ject makes a nice protractor that also has stro... | |
| XLR vs RCA I'd always used RCA connections until my current rig, which has a very long (4 meter) run between the preamps and amplification set. After finding a long pair of balanced cables here for a price I was willing to pay, I gave them a shot between my ... | |
| worst sounding great lps Don't get your hopes up on Katy Lied, Ghosthouse. I have a re-issue vinyl copy and the 1999 CD, MCAD-11916 copyright 1999, bar code 08811 19162. Don't know if the CD is remastered; there is nothing in the jacket info about that. Regardless, the CD... | |
| My Set up Matt is correct. a McIntosh MAC-3 is an excellent 5.1 / stereo unit that sells between $500 and $1000 for near-perfect condition. Got mine for $495 - it only needed light bulbs. Most impressed with its performance. A multi-channel amp will save a ... | |
| Best value in a HO movig magnet $150-$200 Al is correct, but I second Mofimadness' opinion. Go with the Ortofon 2M Red. It lands below your price point, has the capacitance Al notes and has a replaceable stylus. I am totally satisfied with mine. Good luck and happy listening! | |
| Beates Mono- CD Box Set -Japanese pressing / issue Sold and delivered by Amazon, copyright EMI UK, printed in Japan. Never saw a Japanese home edition up there, but I did buy it a few years ago so don't know what might be there now. | |
| Linn Records 24-Bits of Christmas...FREE Downloads Thanks, Mofi! Missed it last year & will definitely check it out this time around. | |
| Beates Mono- CD Box Set -Japanese pressing / issue Can't say about the Japanese edition, but the EMI version I bought off Amazon for a song (they had a sale going shortly after it was issued) is superb. Totally worth it. | |
| RCA or Optical? +1 Kijanki. I have a very long run (8'+) from my digital cable box to my processor. The box had a bad SPDIF output, so went with an armored TOSLINK. Works perfectly. On the short run from my BD to processor, I found the TOSLINK far more listenable... | |
| Altec Lansing Model 19 I suggest you consider McIntosh MC275; the extra power will give you better control at lower listening volumes. A C20 or C22 would work, but you might want to consider going with a C2300 if you run a MC cartridge. Not vintage, but the phono sectio... | |
| Audio Desk Record Cleaner-Anyone buy one yet Just wanted to add my experience as food for thought. Considered the Audio Desk and the KL, but was put off by the beau coup bux required and spotty user comments regarding post-sale support on the Audio Desk. Purchased the V8 cleaner, primarily b... | |
| Vintage Onkyo integrated amp ? The old Onkyo would work, but not very well. A buddy of mine just tried this exercise with his and a pair of new Martin Logan EFXs. The Magnepans are even less stable than the M-Ls, so more current would be the way to go. Good luck & happy lis... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Carl Palmer, 21 November 2014, Beachland Ballroom, Cleveland OH. We've seen several excellent acts in the past 12 months: Joe Bonamassa (2 November 2013, State Theater, Cleveland), Stanley Clarke, Tony Levin, Adrian Belew and Carl Palmer (those la... | |
| Your Dream/Team Rock Band Wow! Peter Hamill & VdGG. Saw Peter do a gig at the Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland a few years ago. As acerbic as ever, but wow - can he ever perform. My supergroup would definitely include him, Bill Bruford, Tony Levin, Peter Gabriel and Rob... |
