CD Player break in period
'If a CD player makes a poorly recorded CD sound decent, it is adding - or taking away something. I do not want either'.'To me, I want a player which extracts everything from the recording, albeit, good - or bad.' cerrot- I think you are contracti... 
CD Player break in period
Cerrot- If I'd paid $7800 or however many dollars it cost for an expensive cd player then It had better play EVERY cd that I put in it and play It darn well to boot! None of this 'great cd's sound great but lesser recordings sound poor' malarky. T...

most annoying neighbor?
Living In a big military area I think I am wise by not getting up the nose of any neighbor with my out of the 70's non rock stuff played daily. Its amazing what a cd (or two) of old school rock can do as a gift of peace. 
Led Zeppelin-newly remastered
Mothership.The cynical side of me says why? mostly the same songs as Earlier days, latter days, so I have read. So why? a bigger tweak of the old EQ?. Kerching went the cash register.Roll on the next tweak cd set. One for the must haves only methi...
