| Promo Pressings Thanks, Justlisten & Abstac7. I kinda had that feeling! Happy Tunes! | |
| Is there any fun in tuner? Video killed the radio star, but commercialism killed radio! Having worked in radio during the golden age of F.M. progressive (70's) it's really a shame that the F.C.C. deregulation allowed a few holding corporations to own most of the licenses in... | |
| Can a Sumiko BPS be retipped at a reasonable cost. Cornfedboy is right! Try a Grado Platinum or Sonata, though NOT on a Linn table (hum problem). | |
| What do you choose first SOUND or MUSIC? I have noticed that as my audio system has improved, certain music that used to sound great on my "lesser system" seems to be lacking as upgrades are made. As an audiophile (what ever that means!) I feel that sonic quality AND music should be mutu... | |
| Annie Lennox "Medusa" Is this album availible on high quality vinyl? | |
| Cheapest places to buy gear? Cheapest is not always best! There is a dealer on Audiogon who has some great prices and lots of Dutch Auctions. Just don't ask them a question about excessive shipping charges! I found this out when I received a reply that was both a juvenile and... | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century One of the best performances, believe it or not, is NIRVANA "Unplugged". Kurt's delivery and emotion is increadible. The sonics of the recording are also excellent! | |
| Speaker Advice -- Which to Buy Audiokinesis, that was one of the most enlightening comments about speakers that I have evere read! Also to keep in mind: the efficiency of the speakers. Some speakers require oodles of power to make them sound right (the Maggie 1.6's come to mind... | |
| Need help on cartridge recommendation, under 500. Another vote for the Sonata! Just be careful, as they have a tendancy to pick up motor hum on Linns (the very inner grooves only.) This hum is very minor. | |
| Best all Canadian system The cold Canadian nights must be dulling everyone's senses...no mention of Sonic Frontiers yet!!! The P-T 3 combo is one heck of a way to listen to CD's...or other digital sources. | |
| Better Quality CD's For the Rock & Pop genre, Mobile Fidelity (MSFL) gold discs (ultradisc) are about the best of the best. Unfortunately, the went out of business a while ago, so finding 'em can be tough and and paying for them can be even worse! They are gettin... | |
| DAC vs. Single Unit Player I have an Accuphase DP-75 and am VERY impressed with the almost analog sound! It can also be used as a DAC for other sources AND has a remote volume control! I guess it's been replaced with the DP-75V which can decode the newer formats and has up-... | |
| The infamous I try to buy used or dealer demo! 50% off MSRP can sure help to build a better system! | |
| How can I test tubes? Give 'em a pop quiz on Monday morning when they least expect it! Sorry, couldn't resist that. Bob is right...unless you're planning to buy bulk or try to find N.O.S. at an out of the way old T.V. repair shop, buy from a reputable and knowledgeable... | |
| the who Usually, a remastered vesion will have a statement to that effect (great selling point!) I'm not sure if you're specifically looking for "Tommy" but the original 2 disc version is nothing great (sonically) but I don't know about the single disc ve... |
