| Best blank CD-R Hi Monroemed; I've used Maxell, Memorex, TDK, Sony, and the less expensive Nashua, and at least in the short term, they all sound good. I can't tell them from originals. Cheers. Craig. | |
| Where is the best place for amp s .....sorry, tried to reference Rlhjazz's "Ringing" thread. | |
| C/W music Audiogon members Cornfed; I'll be content to let you define the pup- vs -dog thing. I was age 12 in 1955 when TV finally made it to our 'hood in N.Dak. What's this have to do with music? Well, mid-50's "Hit Parade", and "The Ed Sullivan Show" were family favorites... | |
| Guilty Pleasures Cornfed; I too remember the night that those guys died. They were headed for Moorehead, Minn. (just across the river from Fargo, ND)-- I lived about 90 miles north of Fargo. It's fair to say Buddy Holly was a hero of mine. Not only did I like his ... | |
| Guilty Pleasures ......what a goof. Thanks for the correction Avguy. I REALLY did know that the Hollies did "Long Cool Woman...". Seems I had it right next to Three Dog Night, who did "Never Been to Spain",-- that song is another guilty pleasure of mine. Thanks. C... | |
| C/W music Audiogon members Dekay; I'm broad minded enough to accept Peggy Lee's "Ghost Riders" as C/W. Along this line, I also really like Gogi Grant's "The Wayward Wind". I was a pup when these two were in their prime :>) Craig | |
| Guilty Pleasures Hi Cornfed; now that the C/W stuff is out of the way, I have less to confess too. Emotionally, I think I stopped maturing at about age 15, so sometimes I put either Buddy Holly's "Peggy Sue" or "Rave On" on infinite repeat and groove for about 1/2... | |
| C/W music Audiogon members .....gotta agree with some of the recent comments above. Ray Charles recent release (well, a year ago) of a 4 CD set on Rhino label "Ray Charles Greatest Country and Western Hits" is one of my favorite "finds" of all time. IMO, not really country,... | |
| Dual Mono? .......I would just add that a regular "stereo amp" typically has a single power supply that provides power to (usually) two channels. The two channels also share some circuitry. Craig | |
| Dual Mono? Hi Skut; A non-monobloc is typically referred to as a stereo amp if it only has two channels, but these days of Home Theater, some amps can have 3 to 5 or more channels. A true dual mono amp is simply two almost totally separate power amps built i... | |
| What to upgrade first? Hi Scmca; All of the above posts offer good advice. You, yourself have already recognized the need to upgrade both your speakers and amp/pre-amp. Being pretty much of a "front end" kind of guy myself, I personally would go with a decent integrated... | |
| Upgrade Time Again.... please help Jerie; great post. I've never seen this point of view expressed better. Cheers. Craig | |
| Will there be stereos in Heaven? Cables? Do you know how to make God laugh? ....tell him your plans! I'm just hoping that Creedence Clearwater's GH and Cowboy Junkies music can be played by angels with harps. Cheers. Craig. | |
| Static on CD playback? Yashu; If the static is just occuring on one CD, then it may be the CD. For instance, I have a few CDs that have distinct "tape hiss" on them-- it sounds like low level "white noise". If it's not the CD(s), then John_1 and Brulee above have good a... | |
| Henry Kloss Model 1 Radio by Tivoli Hi Dug; I also have the G.E. Super Radio II and agree with your observations about it. At $50. (is that right?), it's an excellent buy. I've found sensitivity to be excellent also, and use it for radio only PAC 10 football games. For music, I thin... |
