"Neck and Neck" Mark Knopfler/Chat Atkins
Just saw a copy from MUSIC ON VINYL label at Aux 33 in Montreal. I passed because it was over $30, and I never heard any of the Music on Vinyl stuff. Has anyone heard this? 
Line Magnetic owners...how quiet are they?
Mrc- Sorry for the delayed response, lost track of this....The Heed is a very nice unit. I'm partial to tubes, yet I have no regret with the Quasar. If there is a better unit for my tastes in the $1000 range, I would be pleasantly surprised. I thi... 
Isolation disc for speaker spikes on wood floors.
Wow- Thanks for all the suggestions. I reached out to Herbie, so I'll start there. I have his tube damper rings, and I didn't think about him for these. I think his stuff is priced fairly, and hopefully will offer a nice upgrade over a penny. I ju... 
Is DSD download already an extinct format?
I'm not up on the latest and greatest digital, but understand how this can all be frustrating. That's why I concentrate on vinyl.... Not only does it sound great, but it has stood the test of time. The Teac 501 player looked interesting though. It... 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Jackson Browne- Palace, Albany. Last night. 
Is DSD download already an extinct format?
Dagogo just reviewed the Teac PD-501. The unit plays regular CD's + DSD downloads without the need for a computer when playing the discs. The review was very positive, especially when the unit was playing DSD. If I did do digital, this would be an... 
Best vinyl stereo press of Hendrix - Experienced?
They were playing People, Hells, and Angels in one of the Montreal Show rooms in March. It certainly sounded good, was pressed at QRP. 
CSNY 1974 ..... pretty perfect
So you much prefer 4-Way Street ? 
Record cleaning fluids
AIVS #6 here too. I rinse with distilled water, but I can't give a great reason why. I checked with Jim, and he was sort of like yeah why not, but I have his blessing. 
CSNY 1974 ..... pretty perfect
I love these guys but OUCH, 500 bucks.... Thanks Adam, I enjoy the system alot. This summer has been crazy busy, but hopefully it will calm down soon. Not enough listening time! 
Spin Clean seems to add noise to records?
I have a 16.5, and have recently been using it without vacuuming. I have been using SPIN CLEAN pads to dry while record is spinning on the 16.5. I use Audio Intelligent #6 one step, and then dry the record.Then I use distilled water, and dry off w... 
CSNY 1974 ..... pretty perfect
Cool- will see if it's available on LP. Thanks for the tip Adam. BTW- helluva good concert lineup in Albany this year. What do ya think? 
Tube Rolling with the Line Magnetic 518 IA
My dealer mentioned liking the Gold Lion input tubes in the LM's. As far as output tubes, I am liking the SED winged C's, but of course that doesn't help in your case. Quite a change from Shindo there. Glad you are liking the LM. 
Led Zep Reissue on vinyl
Mine also has a surface scratch on one side. I noticed this when initially unwrapping it. It doesn't affect play, so it's not a huge deal.... I will just have to lower my price when I get around to selling it. 
Opinions on bang for the buck on TT & tonearm
"Thinking about a Feickert/Triangle/Oracle/Hanss"How about the Luxman PD171. This is what I plan to look at in this price range. The Feickert Woodpecker (table) is in your price range, but a good arm would take you over it. I have seen the Lux twi...
