| I don't remember much, but I remember...... Fun thread. First LP purchase of my own—“Meet the Beatles,” (when first released), at age ten. Still have it, but at last play, it had so much hiss, so many crackles, pops, etc., it sounded more like Beatles Meet French Fries Concession. I used to... | |

| Audiogon Grading Scale - the gold standard? Sarah (Sc53): Thanks much for your post. Lo and behold, where my auction merely had "...a bid" as you pointed out at the time of your writing, it NOW has (as of 11/1 - 12:27 PM EST) 7 bids, lol! | |
| Audiogon Grading Scale - the gold standard? Let us please be clear...I concur and would further amplify what most have pointed out, namely that AGS is of NO USE whatsoever in deterring the unscrupulous. What it DOES do that I find of value is to establish defined parameters by which abuses/... | |

| Audiogon Grading Scale - the gold standard? Gallaine: I appreciate your response. I may be able to recoup $200 (eBay's max coverage) if and when my claim is approved.

Albeit, IMHO, if in the ultimate your desire is to have fun with this "thing" of ours, you would be much better served to say to yourself, "I'm going to adopt a lighter attitude fro... | |
| CD Scratch Repair Kits IMHO, cursory impression only, the Skip Doctor appears to do an absolutely phenomenal job in restoring lightly scratched disks. Got turned on to it by the late, great, Harvey "Gizmo" Rosenberg. I say cursory, because for the most part, my kids are... | |
| What have you been listening to these five weeks? Ditto, cfb, great question, Frogman! Up until this moment, found I'd gravitated [seemingly inexplicably during these recent weeks] to listening to "the sound" of Stan Getz, and in particular, "Cool Velvet Stan Getz and Strings" (Verve), plus some ... | |
| Help i'm lost... what cd player to buy ?? Given your circumstances/price constraints, I think you might fair very well for starters finding yourself a good deal on a Pioneer Elite PD-65 player. Later, if and when you are so inclined/as funds permit, this stand alone player will make for a... | |
| I GIVE UP Before you "give up," particularly with the present glut of quality used gear on the market, why not audition a quality stand-in for those Parasound amps? Assuming your front end is something even halfway decent, I trust you may well find your own... | |
