| Regrets, I've had a few... RE: Be Bop Deluxe, The UK pressing of "Live in the Air Age" on the EMI/Harvest CD [CDP 7947322] will easily better the quality of either the white or black American vinyl [compressed as hell]. Please DO NOT confuse the quality of this import CD wi... | |
| Top "covers" Lazarus28, speaking of Bowie, the Nirvana [Unplugged] cover of "The Man Who Sold the World" is a great one. Funny, some of my younger friends don't even realize that the Bowie version exits. And I agree that the Bauhaus version of "Ziggy Stardust"... | |

Be sure that it comes with a remote ($50- option) but it controls ALL components of the original "Complete" se... | |

| Accuphase DP-70V, opinions? Jond, I'm very fond of the Accuphase players that I've owned. I've also been impressed with the sound of the Accuphase room(s) at the C.E.S over the years. They're definitely a class act of engineering and build quality throughout the entire produ... | |

| 6SN7 suffixes Thanks all! Charliee, I use Andy at Vintage Tube Services, as I feel that he is the "go to guy" for all things tubes. I usually speak to him over the phone, so I hadn't been to his website since I switched to a high speed cable modem. Loading with... | |

| 2 track or 4 track reel to reel deck? Egoss, three points:1) There were actually 2 track machines that used a 30 ips speed (recording studio applications only).2) I said that you cannot playback a 4 track recording (pre-recorded reel to reel) on a 2 track machine. Since a 2 track mach... | |
